Step 1: Install or Update Google PhotosĪfter downloading Google Photos from the App Store, launch the app, and tap on "Allow" when it prompts you to give it access to photos on your device. Any photos and videos in the " Hidden" or " Recently Deleted" albums will not be backed up or even appear in Google Photos. Google Photos only looks at the "Camera Roll" album in the Apple Photos app, and it will back up any type of video, regular photos, GIFs (animations), and Live Photos.

While it seems like that may all be for emails and Google Drive documents, it also applies to photos and videos you store in Google Photos, which has a free app for both iOS and Android. When you sign up for a Gmail account, you automatically get 15 GB of free cloud storage. So if you're continually getting that "not enough storage" alert from Apple on your iPhone, don't hit "Upgrade Storage" just yet. While $0.99 per month for 50 GB total iCloud storage sounds like a good deal, it's not necessary if you only have 10 GB of media you want to store. Fortunately, Google offers 15 GB of free storage, making it easy to upload your Camera Roll for safekeeping.
With iPhone backups, app data, iCloud Drive files, and even emails (if you have a Mac, Me, or iCloud email address), you'll quickly run out of space to back up photos and videos.
Since iCloud's introduction in 2011, you get only 5 GB of complimentary cloud storage with your Apple account.
