DedupeHow to automatically upload Instagram photos to Google Drive?
Last Updated :Instagram allow users to connect their Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter accounts to instantly share pictures withfriends out there. So if you are looking for an application or tool to upload Instagram photos to your Google Drive account, you are at right place. Google Drive’s USP lies in ‘real-time online file collaboration’ that it brings through web apps. Google Drive’s free version offers you 5GB of storage space and people looking for more space can pay accordingly. It is one of the cloud storage services that people rely on to keep their photos, videos, documents and files safely backed up on the cloud. So, if you wish to upload your Instagram photos to a cloud storage service, then Google Drive can be a good choice. Here, we have an IFTTT recipe to automatically upload Instagram photos to your Google drive account.
Automatically upload Instagram photos to Google Drive
1. Go to https://ifttt.com/ and sign in to your account. If you don't have an IFTTT account, then create one. 2. Once you have created / signed in to your account, go to your dashboard and click on 'Create a Recipe'. 3. Click on 'this' link, and now choose 'Instagram' as your trigger channel. 4. IFTTT will now ask for permission to access 'Instagram' account. 5. Next thing you need to do is choose a trigger, which in this case will be 'Any new photo by you' then click on the 'Create Trigger' button. 6. Next step is to click on 'that' tab, then click 'View all Channels' to select the 'Google Drive' channel. 7. Activate your Google Drive channel and give IFTTT access to your Google Drive account. 8. Once your Google Drive channel is activated, close the tab and continue to your recipe by picking Google Drive as your action channel. 9. Select 'Add file from URL' as your action, and click 'Create Action' button. 10. Now click on the 'Create Recipe' button to save your new recipe and turn it on. Now, when you add a photo to your Instagram, a copy of it will be backed up on your Google Drive account automatically.

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!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
