Backup Your Smartphone Photos & Save Storage Space I

BACK IT UP

Using Google Photos

I just got back from a group trip to Vietnam, where we visited Hanoi, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh (Oh, if you’re heading over there, do send me an email, and I’ll send you a list of our favourite places!).

With 4 people on this trip, you can imagine how many photos were taken and shared between us all.

My phone started popping up with “Insufficient Storage”…. NOOOOOOO!!!!!

I couldn’t delete any photos because I hadn’t saved them!!

CLOUD SERVICES TO THE RESCUE! 
This is where “Cloud” comes in
WHAT IS THE CLOUD?
Cloud refers to information that is not stored physically on your device. So storing photos “in the cloud” means putting a copy of your photos on another device, somewhere in the world (this depends on the cloud provider that you choose).
GOOGLE PHOTOS

Google Photos is an app that can be downloaded onto both Apple and Android devices, and will automatically upload your photos from your devices (make sure you have an active wifi connection)

BACKUP:

Use Google Photos to back up your precious memories.

It also has a great “Search” function, and you can search and organise your photos by:
People, Places and things.

By uploading and backing up my photos to Google Photos, I was able to free up space on my phone by deleting images off my device (as they are now stored in Google Photos).

Very Handy app, especially when travelling!

Oh… and the best thing about Google Photos? UNLIMITED STORAGE FOR FREE!!
All you need is a Google account. If you have an email address ending in gmail.com, then you have a Google account

Now I can enjoy all the photos that we took in Vietnam…. and you can too =P

SNAPS FROM MY TRIP!

This is just pure talent….

Casually strolling down the street…

Only in Vietnam.

HOI AN
Bike Riding through the countryside in Hoi An, where we visited local villages, and met the locals

Cooking Class – We visited the local markets in the morning to buy fresh produce (Don’t mind me in Image 2, my friend knocked my hat off!), and each person cooked a different dish. We had 15 courses to eat, and all walked out with food babies!

DROP US A LINE!

Now you can see why I couldn’t delete any of these photos from my phone!
If you want any tips, and just want to say “Hello”, send us an email or head over to our community and post a message. We always love hearing from you!
