How Do I Upload Photos to Google Drive from iPhone

To upload photos to Google Drive from your iPhone, you'll need to download the Google Drive app from the App Store.

The Google Drive app is free to download and allows you to access your Google Drive account directly from your iPhone.

If you already have the Google Drive app installed, you can simply open it and sign in with your Google account credentials.

Make sure you have a stable internet connection to ensure smooth upload and syncing of your photos.

You can back up your iPhone photos to Google Drive automatically using the Google Photos app's backup & sync feature. This feature will synchronize any changes made to your photos, and you can access the backed-up photos on any device as long as you sign in with the same Google account.

To enable backup & sync, find the Backup & Sync option within the Google Photos settings menu, turn it on, and allow the Google Photos app to access your iPhone's photos by enabling access in the Settings app.

Manually backing up photos from iPhone to Google Drive is another option, which allows for selective backup of individual images or specific batches. This flexibility is advantageous in situations with limited Google Drive storage.

To back up iPhone photos to Google Drive manually, open the Google Drive app, sign in to your Google account, and select Photos and Videos to upload your photos. You'll be prompted to allow access to all photos, and then you can choose the photos you want to back up.

Google Drive's limited free storage space of 15GB may not be enough for many users, and there's a risk of information theft and potential leaks when uploading data to the cloud. For a secure backup alternative, you can consider using iOS Data Backup & Restore, a multi-file backup software.

Alternatively, you can use the Google Photos app to upload photos to Google Drive automatically by signing in with a Google account, allowing access to your photos, and choosing to upload in high quality or original quality.
