If you use DropBox, you can backup or sync your cell phone's photos/videos to your computer. Its an effortless way to transfer your photos/videos automatically without having to use a physical wire.
Instructions:
- Press on the image icon in DropBox on your phone.
- Press "Enable Camera Upload" button.
- Choose "Only Wi-Fi" or "Wi-Fi + Cell".
Now every time you take a new picture, it will automatically upload to a folder in your DropBox and thus sync to your DropBox on your computer.
Tips:
- I would recommend first downloading all of your photos/videos to your computer first and delete them from your phone. Otherwise, DropBox will start uploading your entire current collection. And if you dont regularly back up and delete photos/videos on your phone, that can be a lot of files.
- Now every couple of months, on your computer, you would transfer (cut and paste) all of the photos/videos in your DropBox folder to another folder on your local hard drive. This will free up space from your allotted DropBox storage limit. (e.g. 2GB for free account).
- In Step 3 above, I would recommend choosing "Only Wi-Fi". That way, it wont use up your phone's data plan. However, keep in mind that the uploading will only occur when you enable your wi-fi at a later time.
