Photo Storing/Printing Solutions

With #2 on the way, we really need to get our system figured out.
So far, we've relied on Google Photos for storing pics from our cameras because we have a shared account and it's an automatic backup. The major Con is that you have to download each pic if you want to then print it from somewhere. It's so cumbersome.
I tried just using the Shutterfly app to store mobile pics but it messes up too often.
We also have pics form a real camera (although less of them lately), so we really need streamlining. Someone that will automatically backup pics from both DH/my phones and then something that we can connect to easily from our regular computer for the camera pics.
Confession: I'm about 2 years behind in printing pics to scrapbook. I've printed some for the walls but not many. I was good as a SAHM but when I went back to work, it just fell apart. Need something less time consuming that what I've done so far.
Ideas? What works for your families? What hasn't worked? We are Prime members and I saw that they now offer picture printing - has anyone tried it?

I just downloaded the Amazon Photo app and that seems pretty similar if you already have Prime. I may do a test batch of prints to see how the quality is.

For printing, I use Shutterfly, but I don't like the app...I feel like whenever I use their app to get prints they come out super dark (whether they're my phone photos or the "fancy" photos that DH and FIL have edited), but I don't have that issue when I order them online. I'm trying to get in the habit of making a family "yearbook" on shutterfly for some of the best photos, buuuut I'm now 2 years behind on that.
@Virginialeigh I wish that was on the site too! I've been uploading all out pics from the past 2 years to finally print.
Maybe I need to give up the idea of keeping up with scrapbooking and just do the photobooks too. I like scrapbooking now because I use DD's "art" as the background and I think it's just so stinkin cute to see her work develop.

All I know is my mother has a gigantic box of pictures from when all 4 kids were little and they are just crammed in there, she doesn't even know which baby is which in most of them and it's a hot mess. I don't want to end up like her!!!!
