It’s easy to snap a load of photos and then run out of space on your phone, especially if your phone has an 8MP camera. I wanted to figure out a way to backup these photos automatically to my PC or a cloud service, and after looking around at options like Dropbox/DropCap, I discovered that the Android Google+ app has a built-in feature that allows you to automatically backup your photos to Picasa, the Google photo sharing site.
In the Android Google+ app, tap Menu > Settings > Instant Upload Settings. Then select your preferences. I have it set up so that my photos and videos are uploaded to a private Picasa album when my phone is on Wifi AND plugged in, which basically means overnight.
I can then go to the Pictures section of Google+ and decide which photos to share. Neat!

Yes but will it automatically cync these onto a PC/Mac? that is my question. I can’t find an answer to. Having all of the photos on Google+ is fun, but not very useful as a backup.
I’d love an email if you know of a way please.
Thanks,
Matt
