If you are new to Photos for OS X, the coming replacement for iPhoto, spend a few minutes reading this piece Jason Snell wrote for TidBITS.

Then take a look at this FAQ, responses to questions raised by the TidBITS article.

From the TidBITS article:

The banner feature of Photos is its integration with Apple’s iCloud Photo Library service. You can (optionally) set Photos to automatically upload your photos to Apple’s iCloud servers, where they’re backed up and accessible from iOS devices. (iOS device access will be included in iOS 8.2, an update that will presumably be delivered around the same time that Photos is released.)

My photo library is well past the default maximum size of my iCloud account. My question is, once Photos for OS X is released to the public, will that limit increase? Or will Apple customers making the move to Photos be forced to choose to either take on a monthly iCloud storage fee or stick to local storage? Is this a business development strategy for Apple?
