Sounds nice, but:
1. iCloud has taken my photos hostage to the extent that I can't download the files. Google seems to be to busy to build an iCloud to Google Photos importer.
2. The "Google Photos for mac importer" has got to be the worst Google product ever created - buggy with a lame UI.
So until Google come up with a decent way of actually getting my existing photos into their cloud, this won't make much of a difference.
Frustrated [paying] google drive / photos user.

@shai_alon Does Google not have an iOS app that uploads your photos automatically?
I run dropbox on my iPhone and my photos/videos constantly sync to my PC.
I guess that doesn't help much for existing albums.

@shai_alon Google has Desktop Photos Uploader too. I used it to move everything from iPhoto on my Mac. It worked almost perfectly. There were some photos it did not upload, but I just saved them and manually added them. It was maybe a dozen out of 3,000 that did not upload. https://photos.google.com/apps

@shai_alon You're so right. The Mac auto backup tool is very buggy. It hardly works. It keeps showing a huge count all the time, and I cannot verify if the uploads are actually happening.
