How to Backup All Photos and Videos to Google Photos?

Last Updated :

Google Photos has a feature 'Back up & sync' that allows you to backup photos and videos to your account automatically. It also has a feature 'Back up all' which is used to upload photos and videos according to the preferences you have set. If you set 'Back up photos' to run only when you are connected to Wi-Fi, then your photos will begin backing up only when your device is connected to Wi-Fi.

Following are the steps to Backup All Photos and Videos to Google Photos:

  1. Open "Google Photos" app on your mobile device.
  2. Tap "Menu" icon (3 horizontal lines) located at the top left corner on the screen.
  3. Select "Settings" option.
  4. Select "Back up & sync" option.
  5. Tap "Back up All" button.
  6. All your photos and videos will now be backed up 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!
