How to Backup Amazon Cloud Drive Photos to Google Drive on Android?

Backing up photos from Amazon Cloud Drive to Google Drive on your Android device ensures you have multiple copies of your images stored safely in the cloud. This prevents losing precious memories if one cloud storage service fails or is compromised. The backup process is straightforward once you understand how to connect the two cloud platforms on your Android device.

Connecting Amazon Cloud Drive and Google Drive on Android

To start backing up your Amazon Cloud Drive photos, you first need to connect your Amazon and Google accounts through a cloud syncing app on your Android device. Here are the steps:

• Download and install a reputable cloud sync app like CloudSync, MultCloud, Odrive, or Cloudsfer from the Google Play Store on your Android device.
• Open the app and log into both your Amazon Cloud Drive and Google Drive accounts.
• The app will then sync the two cloud storage services, allowing you to transfer files between them.

Locating Photos to Backup from Amazon Cloud Drive

Once your Amazon Cloud Drive and Google Drive are connected via the cloud sync app, you need to navigate to your Amazon Cloud Drive photos folder to select images to backup. Here is how:

• Open the cloud sync app and go to the Amazon Cloud Drive section.
• Select the folder or albums containing the photos you want to backup. This is usually in the Pictures or Photos folder.
• You can also use the search bar in the Amazon Cloud Drive section to search for specific photos.

Selecting and Backing Up Photos to Google Drive

With your photos located in Amazon Cloud Drive, you can now select them and start the backup process to Google Drive:

• Browse and select the individual photos or full albums you want to backup. You can select multiple files at once.
• Hit the transfer button in the app to start backing up the selected photos to your connected Google Drive account.
• A syncing progress bar will appear showing the status of the backup.
• Once completed, you can go to Google Drive to confirm the photos have been copied over.

• Go to the settings section of your cloud syncing app.
• Choose the option to setup scheduled transfers.
• Select Amazon Cloud Drive as the source and Google Drive as the destination.
• Pick how often you want backups to occur (daily, weekly, etc) and at what time.
