In this way, either your phone is lost or you did something drastic, the photo gallery will be safe and sound. On the internet, you may find a bunch of storage options but not all of them are equipped with the auto-upload features. Let’s look at some of the best auto uploading apps and services.

FREE Apps to Backup Phone Photos Automatically To Cloud

Google Photos

Google Photos enables the regular camera users to share, edit and back up their pictures. The whole process has been designed to be automatic to assure that the photos, whether taken from the camera or added using the folder on a computer, end up safe on the Google Photos service so you don’t have to lift a finger. The photos can be browsed by a particular date or as a collection created manually or by Google Photos automatically.

However, with all the ease comes limitation too. In Google Photos, you are given unlimited storage only if you allow Google to compress or resize the photos you upload. Slightly same feature was used in the previous Google+ Photos service. The new one differs by the size permissible, which is 16 megapixels now. The earlier version used to restrict a user to 2-4 megapixels.

DropBox

DropBox is by far the most popular cloud storage solution which almost everyone knows about. The main claim to fame is the simple UI of the web and mobile app which allows uploading of pictures automatically. When you first open the app, it prompts you to configure the camera and then simply syncs the photos in the background.

The limitation is that the new DropBox users do not get more than 2 Gigs free space for storage. If you plan to upload every picture that you snap, this is an extremely low limit. However, they offer pro plans which ask a user to pay $10 for 100 GB a month and $50 for 500 GB a month. In addition to this, some third party Android Apps allow you to enjoy some features which are not offered by the official app.
