If I want to share my photos library on Google Photos I can select my wife to have access and vice versa and we're done. With Apple Photos I can create a family shared album, but I'm limited to 5000 photos. I know that sounds like a lot, but we have 40,000 photos we want to share between us. Apple provides no good way to do that which is frustrating because I would prefer an integrated solution compared to Google Photos. Anyone else run into this or have suggestions as options?
Got a tip for us?

I use OneDrive - my wife and I each have 1TB of storage with our Office 365 subscription. I like it because it's accessible from a myriad of OS's, devices, and apps
Glad to hear it's not just me (in terms of the frustration with photo limits). So with Google on your iPhone, do you just have Google Photos suck up the pictures and then delete them from your local Photos app?
Yes. It doesn't automatically delete them, though, you have to tap "Free up space". I suppose you could leave the camera roll accumulate.
