Humans have always shown a keen interest in preserving their memories. Paintings, sculptures, monuments, epitaphs, etc. were some of the many historical means used by people to make sure that their stories aren’t forgotten and lost in oblivion. With the invention of the camera, pictures and videos became the most popular means to celebrate and commemorate the glory days. As technology became more and more advance and the world stepped into the digital age, the entire process of capturing memories in the form of photos and videos became extremely convenient.
In the present times, almost everyone owns a smartphone, and with that holds power to preserve their fond memories, capture moments of fun and frolic, and make a video of those once in a lifetime experiences. Although modern smartphones have significantly large memory storage, sometimes it just isn’t enough to store all the photos and videos that we would like to keep. This is where Google Photos comes in to play.
Cloud storage apps and services like Sawirrada Google, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. have become an absolute necessity in the present times. One of the reasons behind this is the drastic improvement of the smartphone camera. The camera on your device is capable of capturing stunning, high-resolution images that could give DSLRs a run for their money. You can also record full HD videos at a significantly high FPS (frames per second). As a result, the final size of the photos and videos are quite large.
Without a decent cloud storage drive, our device’s local memory would soon be full, and the best part is that most of the cloud storage apps offer their services for free. Android users, for example, get unlimited free storage to back up their photos and videos on Google Photos for free. However, Google Photos isn’t just a cloud storage server, and, in this article, we are going to explore the various features that Google Photos is packing and also deal with the problem of Google Photos not backing up.

We would suggest you select a High-Quality option for future uploads. It compresses the image to a resolution of 16 MP, and videos are compressed to high definition.
