Google Photos: how to back up photos from your phone, tablet or computer

Whatever phone you are using, google photos cloud storage can help you free up the space for better use on the limited storage on your mobile phone. Keep your phone fast and clutter free by backing up your photos to google photos. Google offers free unlimited storage for photos up to 16mb.

Once installed and running, the app will ask you if you want photos saved in “original” or “high quality” format. If you choose high quality, google will allow you to upload unlimited 16mb photos and 1080 videos for free and you have the option to back up on the fly or manually when you have a good wifi connection. Choosing the “original” format keeps your photos “as is” and intact the way your cameras capture them. Choosing the “original”  option will only give you up to 15GB of space, meaning you will have to upgrade beyond the limited space.
