I'll check that out, thanks! I have an entry level DSLR (18MP) so I was hesitant to Google Photos due to the compression, but the features look great. I didn't realize the machine vision for search and tagging was all included in the price/free for compressed pictures It's probably cheaper to pay for Google Drive space than pay for Lightroom, so it's probably worth it.
One followup question, since the browser is cloud-based, have you experienced significant latency viewing your photos? For example, when I use the Dropbox webapp it takes a couple to load thumbnail previews for a folder of 200ish photos while Finder on my Mac does it basically instantaneously.
