Enable Auto-Backup of Photos on Google Drive
If you own a smartphone by Motorola or from Nexus series then they will have stock android and which means that it will already have an application known by the name of ‘Photos’ installed on the smartphones. However, in case you don’t have it, install it, open it and then tap the highlighted section mentioned in the screenshot.
Choose the Settings option and then you will see the option of Auto-Backup of those photos.
Tap that option and then enable it to start backing up of those photos. Now you can see there are list of other options available under that setting.
You can choose to upload the images in their original size (which will consume a good amount of battery) or you can choose to upload a compressed form of those photographs, which will allow you to save a good amount of photographs in that space of 15GB. With the help of those options you can also chose to upload them over WiFi network only or Cellular Data network also.
