Backing Up Your Phone Photos
Sooo if your phone throws the "storage full" message every time you open the camera, this class is for you. It's for anyone whose camera roll is a mess or nearly full, no tech background needed. First thing we do is turn on automatic backup so your photos are safe in the cloud, because a dead phone can't wait and the folders can. Then we sort through years of old pictures into folders you can actually find again, separate the screenshots out (they are not photos), and delete the 396 near-identical sunsets you don't need. You'll leave with backup running and a system you'll actually use. Bring your phone and your charger.
What you'll learn
- Turn on iCloud or Google Photos backup
- Verify your photos actually uploaded correctly
- Free up phone storage without deleting photos
- Separate screenshots from your real photo backup
- Organize photos into albums by month and event
Lessons
- Before You Touch Anything
We figure out what phone you have, why the storage is full, and why backup comes before organizing.
- Turning On Automatic Backup
The main event: we get auto-backup running on your phone today, together, tap by tap.
- Storage, Space, and the Two-Dollar Fee
What to do when the free storage runs out and how to keep your phone from filling up again.
- Screenshots Are Not Photos
We separate the memes, receipts, and screenshots out of your real pictures so the whole system holds together.
- Sorting Years of Old Pictures
The tedious part, done honestly: folders and albums by date and event so you can find things again.
- Sharing and Printing the Ones That Matter
Shared albums for family and getting the important photos off the phone and onto the wall.
