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.

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

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.

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.

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.
