How can I write on my screen shots?

There are those who are dismissive and even disdainful of Google Photos but the undeniable fact of the matter is Android just does not have a comprehensive, centralized back up solution like Apple/iOS does with iTunes and iCloud. Too many Android users are losing irretrievable, irreplaceable photos and videos because they mistakenly a) just assume that enabling the 'Backup' option in their Settings includes personal data like photos, and/or b) rely on their phone to just always be available but in reality they do get stolen, misplaced, damaged, or the OS becomes corrupted. Google Photos also makes it easier to transfer accounts from one phone to the next, almost seamlessly. So go ahead and keep trashing it, it's definitely not the perfect, full featured photo library manager, but it is a viable replacement for the default Gallery app and for those who don't have any kind of back up solution it takes care of that very important need.

Actually, if Samsung Cloud works as claimed, that already works like the iCloud backup. Haven't tried it personally yet though.

OK, that might be a viable option but it should be noted that it is for Samsung owners and those who wish to remain in the Samsung Eco-sphere. I've never even played with it either so I won't comment about it, other than I think options like Google Photos (which is tied to your Google account), Dropbox, or OneDrive are better alternatives. For anyone who will at some point be migrating to a different branded phone or even switching to an iPhone, locking yourself into a Samsung specific service could eventually turn out to be a problem.

1. I have 115GB on OneDrive. So it's space is not something I'm worried about.

2. Never bothered to scroll through the backed up pics. They're backups. I manage backups on my PC. Just tried it now. I don't find it any slower than Google Photos, when viewing backups.

3. Delete QuickPic as soon as possible. It's made by Cheetah Mobile.

1. Great, i also have 105GB but 100 of that only lasts a couple of years (sammy promo), so 5GB is pretty poor. Google is unlimited.
2. The 1drive website from a PC is horrible to use, well so is google photos, but it is a bit slicker imo. If you are managing your backed up pics into folders then you must be scrolling through some of them?
3. Don't really care who its made by, its always been a great app, especially for speed. Has its own cloud/backup solution as well now.

No I don't manage it on the website. OneDrive downloads the photos to my PC, so I arrange them via Windows Explorer. Faster than either Google Photos or OneDrive website. The changes I make to folders/albums just sync back up to cloud.

As for Cheetah Mobile, they have already declared that they are using all data accessed by their apps as their source of income by selling these data to unknown buyers (to us). Basically, all your pictures uploaded to their servers are theirs to sell as they want as far as I understand their previous declaration. They are so well known in this community for selling off data that no one among the more knowledgeable members here would touch their apps with a 10ft pole if they can.

Yea well that's the same policy for large social media apps like facebook as well, if you're that worried about it, you shouldn't use any social media at all
