How to Backup & Sync All Videos to a Separate Album on Google Photos?

Last Updated :

Google Photos has a feature "Backup & Sync" which allows you to automatically backup photos and videos to your account. You just need to turn ON "Backup & Sync" feature on your device. You can easily sync photos, but currently, you can not sync videos to a specific album. When you turn ON "Backup & Sync" feature, all photos and videos will automatically be uploaded to your library and you can easily organize them into albums from there.

Google Photos does not provide you a specific settings to backup & sync videos. When you enable "Backup & sync", you will be able to backup and sync all your photos and videos saved to your device.

If you are getting problem with uploading videos to Google Photos, then check out the steps given below.

  1. Open "Google Photos" app on your mobile phone.
  2. Tap "Menu" icon located at the top left corner on the screen.
  3. Tap "Assistant" tab.
  4. If you are getting "Waiting for connection" or "Waiting for Wi-Fi", then you need to either change your setting or connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network. Tap the card to change your settings.
  5. If you are getting "Back up & sync Off", then tap "Turn ON" on the card. If you turn it ON, your photos and videos including ones you capture in the future will be backed up to Google Photos.
  6. "A photo or video was skipped": You will get this message if a photo or video on your mobile device does not meet Google Photos requirements. Your photos can not exceed 75MB or 100 megapixels. Videos can not exceed 10GB.
  7. If you are getting "Backing up photos" or "Backup complete", this means your photos and videos should be saved.

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.
