Uploading Photos from Devices
Uploading photos from devices is a straightforward process, and I'm here to guide you through it.
Google Drive is preinstalled on most Android devices, so you likely already have it on your phone. If you don't see the app, you can download it from the Play Store and sign in with your Google Account credentials.

On iOS devices, you need to download the Google Drive app from the App Store before you can upload files. Once installed, launch the app and log in if required.
The Google Drive app allows you to upload up to 25 files at a time on iOS devices. Select the desired files by lightly touching the circle at the bottom left of each photo, then click Upload in the upper right corner.
On Android devices, you can upload photos from either the Google Photos or Gallery app, or from a folder in your internal storage. To do this, navigate to the folder containing your photos, select the ones you want to upload, and use the Share button to send them to Google Drive.
