How to Upload Videos from an Android phone to Google Photos?

Last Updated :

To backup your Android phone videos to optimize storage, you need to either back them up to your computer, Mac, an external storage, or you need to go for cloud services. Google Photos is a cloud service that allows you to store your videos in high resolution for free, with some compression in size. You can keep your videos private unless you choose to share them.
Follow the step by step process to Upload Videos from an Android phone to Google Photos:

  1. Open ‘Google Photos’ App on your Android phone.
  2. Tap the ‘Menu’ icon (the one with three vertical lines) on the top left corner.
  3. Go to ‘Settings > Backup & Sync.’.
  4. At the top, switch it ON. Your Android phone videos would be backed to ‘Google Photos’.
  5. To check whether your videos are backed or not, at the bottom of Google Photos app, tap Photos. Videos that are not backed would look like a cloud with cross line on it.

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!
