Store Photos on the Cloud --- Google+ will close

[TenOC]

For years I have stored my travel photo on the cloud so I could share than with family and you. I have use picassa (?) and photobucket. Now I use Google photos. See my signature.

On April 2nd, your Google+ account and any Google+ pages you created will be shut down and we will begin deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts. Photos and videos from Google+ in your Album Archive and your Google+ pages will also be deleted.

What is a good replacement?

The replacement for Google Photos is Google Photos.

As others have pointed out, you don't need any replacement. Google Photos is not affected by Google+ going away.

Google+ is/was Google's social networking attempt. I used Google+ briefly and still have an account but all my photos are in Google Photos and only referenced in Google+ when I was using it. No problem. I am doing nothing to prepare for the Google+ demise because there is nothing there I want to preserve.

X2 Photos will live on.

Provided the OP uploaded photos to Photos first and shared them from there, nothing to worry about.
