This Is Where You Should Be Posting Your Photos Not Facebook Or Instagram by 3mmyz(m): 1:53pm On Sep 12, 2018
Well if you're reading this and you're guilty of the following reasons stated below, you should make a U turn.

This is actually for those of us that love to upload our photos to Facebook, Gplus, Twitter & Instagram.
Now understand me, I'm not insinuating that you're wrong but your motives might be.

Now I'm actually writing this post because I've met and heard a lot people say that they upload certain pics to Facebook and other social sites just so they can retrieve their photos in case it gets misplaced or destroyed through crash or snatch. Phone or External Memory can get misplaced, you surely must need a cloud backup to really prevent regrets.

Now they're certain files that shouldn't be uploaded cause of security and other personal reasons. Such files like your images can be saved to the cloud with only you having the rights and access to it, except you decide to share it to the public, they're strictly private.

This cloud storage is very important aside saving just images, you can save anything from games, archive, videos and virtually any files that you've come across.

Now for the photos, let's say you've this memorable but shaming picture you'd like to save up for memories but can't cos everyone would see it on social media if posted and you'd get embarrassed, but deep down you wish you could back it up without any publicity.

Pictures like passports, screenshots of receipts shouldn't be uploaded publicly, you should start using a cloud storage.

That's quite a simple task, now if you have a Gmail account you'd have access to Google photos, it's a free image storage app. You can upload your photos album to Google photos but not Instagram, Facebook, etc. You don't need that publicity.

Now if you've a Gmail account you automatically have 15GB storage capacity for free. It's upgradeable with an annual fee in case you wish to increase your space. Google photos is linked to your Google drive.

Remember that the cloud storage is just like a physical memory, except for internet connectivity.

More so, there are other cloud services aside Google drive..

They include...

One drive
Mediafire
Dropbox, etc.

They're not completely free, but they're really really helpful.

Make sure you're saving to the cloud, it's more secured, only you can see your photos and you can retrieve it if in case it gets damaged/ravaged.

Install Google photo on your device, open and connect it with your Gmail.
Each pic you take with your phone will automatically backup in the app only if your data is on.

Google Photos is not the most secured anyway. As long as your Google account can be hacked (even with dual authentication features), you are at the mercy of the hacktivists and your laxity online. I personally do not recommend Google Photos

I can t just believe or imagine this article is not hitting the "frontpage." but check there you find so many dumb non-educating, uninformative, undeveloping post adorning the wall. Nairaland has become awashed.
