Back up photos and videos automatically to Google for Mobile and Tablet

The free Google+ app (Android bit.ly/1FxHS6z, iOS apple.co/1PXXeED) has an Auto-Backup feature that automatically saves any photos and videos you take using your phone or tablet, as well as those you receive via text message. The files are saved to your Google account, which gives you 15GB of storage space for free, or 100GB for $1.99 (£1.34) per month.

To enable Auto-Backup, open the Google+ app, tap Settings, then tap Auto-Backup and make sure the slider is switched to On. Files can be saved via Wi-Fi only so there’s no possibility of running up huge mobile data bills. To find your backed-up photos and videos, go to the Google+ site (https://plus.google.com) on your PC, log in using your Google account and choose Photos from the dropdown menu at the top-left.
