In addition, I am driven to immediately use Carousel to protect my memories and I am hesitant to stop using Carousel because I don’t want to lose the memories that I’ve uploaded to it. Therefore, once I have completely uploaded my memories (and feel accomplished because of it), I have very little motivation to keep using Carousel (unless I want to see old memories of course). The challenge with extrinsic motivation: I am motivated to store my memories however, the task in itself of uploading photos is not fun. These Left-Brain Core Drives give me extrinsic motivation to use Carousel. These are great examples of Core Drive 2 (Development and Accomplishment) and Core Drive 4 (Ownership and Possession).

In this post, we will examine why I made the switch from Carousel to Google Photos and how a human-focused design beats a function-focused design every time. This is the power of human-focused design over function-focused design. However, after watching Kim use Google Photos for a week, I immediately jumped ship from Carousel and made the move to Google Photos.

The motivation behind using photo cloud storage is very functional: I want to save my photos online so that they are never lost. ![]() “How about Google Photos?
