Here’s how to set automatic backups for Google Photos
Google Photos are compatible with both online browsers and mobile apps for iPhone and Android. The app’s limitless, largely free cloud-based photo backup and storage is one of the biggest reasons to use it. Backups from Google Photos are quite handy when switching to a different device.
After installation, the Google Photos app will automatically upload your pictures and videos to the cloud and sync them with all of your devices so that you can always access them.
But there are some things that you need to remember- First, that a picture or video that you previously backed up to Google Photos remains there even if you delete it from your computer. Secondly, a picture or video isn’t deleted from Google Drive or your PC when you remove it from Google Photos. And, if you back up to Google Photos and Google Drive at the same time, uploads can take longer and consume more space. We advise you to back up your photos and videos to Google Photos unless you really need a second copy on Drive.
