Over the years I've probably taken more than a million photos. More recently I noticed that Google Plus allows backup of an unlimited amount of photos via your Android, iPhone or Computer. The instructions below are for Android, but are very similar to those of iPhones.

BACKING UP YOUR PHOTOS WITH GOOGLE PLUS

1. Open the Play Store or App Store and Search for Google+. Then install it.

2. After Installation, you should have a new icon somewhere that says Photos. Open this App.

3. Click Sign In

4. If you don’t have a Google Plus Profile, you will get a similar screen, if you do, skip to the next step.

set up google plus

5. Click the Menu, then click Settings >> Auto Backup

6. Change the Photo size to Standard (otherwise it counts against storage usage) and make sure you set while charging only as well as wifi only. Then click back up all. And Voila, your photos will now back up automatically. You can see them from this app or on the web at http://photos.google.com

Thank you for the tutorial. It is amazing how often people lose data due to a hard drive crash or a lost phone simply because they didn't have any form of a backup. If you don't backup your data, it is a matter of when, not if you will lose it.
