Google Photos supports free, unlimited storage for high-quality (great visual quality at a reduced file size) and free 15GB of account storage for original (full resolution that counts against your quota) photos and videos, based on upload size. We recommend backing up and syncing your photo and video contents, usually using Google Photos.

1 On the apps screen, select Google Photos.
2 Activate Back up & sync option.
3 After that, select upload size for photos and videos through the settings.
4 Select files to back up to your cloud storage and tap Archive.
5 If you finish backing up files, you can delete the same files saved on your device to secure device storage by selecting Delete from device. Any pictures or videos already backed up to cloud storage will be safe even if the files from the device are deleted.
