My wife passed away years ago. She left behind a sizable collection of pre-digital prints and negatives, which is being scanned, and a big collection in Google Photos.
I like that Google Photos shows me my old pictures daily, and it would be nice to see her pics too. It would also be nice for other family members to be able to browse the pictures.
Should I move her Google Photo pictures to my account? Leave them in hers? Should I put them in my Google Drive account? Somewhere else?
Bonus question: the scanned pictures are going to have the scanning date as the EXIF date. What's the done thing here? Should I update the EXIF date with the actual picture date? Put the actual date somewhere else? How can I make sure that Google Photos, for example, will show the pictures in correct chronological order?
