Lately seen some people on my FB, so kesian said the phone lost.


there is something we can all do to prevent this.
if you're using android phone, high chance you have a google account, which allows you to use google+

google+ is a social app similar to FB, and its FREE, no registration required since you already have google account.
install it and use the "instant upload" feature, which like its name suggest, auto upload every picture you snap to a PRIVATE album which ONLY you alone can view.

Now i know the most common response people give when i tell them this feature.


so essentially, every night when you sleep and plug your charger, it will slowly upload your pics.
so you see, there really isn't any trouble at all, doesn't waste your 3G data plan, doesn't waste your battery life,
and its really easy to handle (download/edit/share) the uploaded pics in your google+ website.

extra info:


hope this info helps.
next time when you see some noob complaining phone lost and begging the thief send them their pics back, point them to this thread.


Edit:
Instantly upload has been renamed to auto backup
For ios7, upload in background is possible.

how about dropbox?

drop box works too.

but i prefer google+ since no need extra account to sign in.
drop box got storage limit one right? quite waste if use to store pics only.
google+ unlimited photo storage at 2048p

Facebook already have this features,and also,this is very very common to me(and my friend)

the last time i checked fb photo sync, if i remembered correctly,
the limit is duno 2 or 3GB, and there isnt option to sync when connected to charger.

its important for me that it only sync when device is charging.
because i dont want my battery to drain very quickly.

G+ unlimited storage, and only sync when charging.

I use dropbox, and sync to my laptop automatically, so no issue for me.

I think the issue happened to those elder or supreme youngster who owned a hadphone but no PC, like I know most of the elder iphone user don't even know what is iTune and what it can do...

Last time I heard that gov going to implement (via telcos) imei blocking. I wish they proceed with it. Any stolen phone can block based on imei number. This I think will deter phone stealing coz it will render the phone totally useless.

thanks for the tips.

Aren't Google+ is 5gb?
Any link to unlimited?

when is that "last time" ? I wish they already implement it by now.

its written in the settings, if choose upload full size image, limit is 5GB.
i saw the spaced used is same as my google drive, i think full size image are uploaded to google drive.

if use 2048px, its unlimited.

OK thanks for the hint

Nice topic. Added to Note 2 thread.

Well auto backup should not be limit to photo only... SMS, WhatsAPP or any important folder can be backup easily on cloud...

As for me i use dropbox to backup my photo since i have pro storage... And i use FolderSync app to send my sms (backup using SMS Backup & Restore), WhatsApp and any critical folder to dropbox or google drive...

Thanks. I went to read the note 2 first post, completely stunned.
You must've spend so much time to maintain n organize everything. Well done man.

Thank you for the compliment, although you may suggest any further improvements. I observe you have good contributions. Please continue sharing, and I'll post relevant information on the thread. You may tag me as needed.

how to enable auto back up tru data connection??

tempted to use this feature.

every photo will be uploaded or just selected photos in selected album?

2048x1536 that is more than enough.

this one... means roughly a 3MP camera.

but i din realise its unlimited for this resolution. so many thanks to TS mtxx for sharing this...

does this mean if i select this, Google will resize my images to that size (for unlimited storage).

also, i think last week, Google updated Drive space to 15GB for all...
