Apple makes 5 GB available to us in iCloud for free, 5 GB more than enough for save the data of our contact book, our calendar, tasks, clippers… little more. If we want to always have a backup of all our photos, we have to go to the checkout.
Google has just announced that it will launch a new application for make backup copies of our iPhone, an application that will allow us to make a backup copy of our photos, videos, contacts and calendar events in the Google cloud using the 15 GB that it offers to all users who have a Gmail account.
This new app some data is left on the way that if we can store in iCloudHowever, it is an option to consider for all those users who are not willing to pay for iCloud, as long as the application performs the same compression function as Google Photos when uploading videos and photos to the cloud. .
If not, and this application works independently, with only 15 GB, we are going to find the same problem of the free 5 GB of Apple.
Currently, thanks to Google Photos, we canlstore for free (if we do not keep the original image) all the images and videos that we make with our iPhone without having to hire additional space in iCloud. For the rest of the important data that is not synchronized with the Google cloud, we can continue to use iCloud.
In this way, if we lose our smartphone, it is damaged or it is stolen, we will be able to rquickly retrieve the most important data from our terminal without having to resort to payment plans for iCloud storage or other platforms, be it Google's, Microsoft's, Amazon's ...
The best thing is to configure the iCloud, so that it only saves the settings, credit card numbers, notes, among other most important data. In this way, we will never get the annoying message of: "iCloud space full." After this you proceed to create a local Backup on your computer. Saving the data on your computer will help to have all the data in general: including photos, videos, voice notes, WhatsApp chats, etc., saved locally through iTunes. I have it configured this way, so that when I have to replace my iPhone with a new model, I connect it to my computer and I recover everything! Just in case, I use google photo to keep my iPhone space under control, saving my photos and videos to the cloud. Then I delete them from the roll of photos of my cell phone. Although Google photo gives you the notice that you can delete photos, this tea will indicate that you have to go to the photo reel of your iPhone, in order to permanently delete the accumulated videos and photos for deletion. This space where the photos and videos to delete are accumulated, they are at the end of the main window of the albums created in the photo reel. It sounds a bit tedious and difficult for those who are using an iPhone for the first time, but with practice it will be easy in a short time to learn these steps.
