How to Auto Backup Photos and Videos from Android to Google Photos?

Last Updated :

Google Photos has a "Auto Backup" feature which allows you to automatically upload photos and videos to your account. The Auto Backup feature saves all your new and existing photos and videos to your private Google Photos account. During the initial setup, Google Photos prompts you to setup your automatic photo and video backup. If you forget to setup, then you can set it back whenever you need it. You can change your Auto Backup settings at any time.

Following are the steps to Auto Backup Photos and Videos from Android to Google Photos:

  1. Open Google Photos app on your Android phone.
  2. Tap the 3 vertical dots icon located at the top right corner on the screen.
  3. Select "Settings" option.
  4. Tap "Auto Backup".
  5. Move slider from left to right to turn ON "Auto Backup".
  6. You have options i.e. 'Over Wi-Fi or mobile network' or 'Over Wi-Fi only' to backup photos and videos in 'Backup Settings'.
  7. Select any one of the above 2 options.
  8. This is how you can Auto Backup photos and videos from Android phone to Google Photos.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
