Last Updated :

Google Drive is Google's file storage & synchronizing service which was released in the year 2012. Google Drive initially offered all its user a 5GB free cloud storage space which is now increased to 15GB. Users can use this 15GB space across three channels i.e. Google Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos. In order to backup your photos onto Google Drive specifically, you need to have the Google Drive App installed on your iPhone. Here's a quick step by step process to guide you through the photo uploading procedure.

  1. Go to App Store & download Google Drive App on your iPhone.
  2. Launch Google Drive app, then click the plus"+" icon in the upper right.
  3. Now on the screen that opens up, select "Upload Photo or Video" option.
  4. You'll now be taken to you "Camera Roll". Tap and select the ones that you wish to upload to Google Drive.
  5. Once done with the selection, click "Upload". The photos will upload quickly.

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!
