If you do not already have a Google account to use with the company’s slew of online services (like Gmail, YouTube, and Google Drive), you can sign up for one on Google’s site. These sources include a digital camera’s memory card, the desktop and your Mac’s Pictures folder. Google Photos can automatically back up your pictures from a number of sources to its online servers. Is it possible to have the photos I upload from my digital camera card to my Mac directly backed up online to Google Photos, too?Ī.
