The Google Drive application for Android is really interesting, it brings to the mobile one of the best Google services in which we can manage and edit our documents stored in the cloud and even upload and share other files. With respect to other similar services it has advantages, but also some shortcomings. Specifically regarding the automatic upload of photos that Dropbox does. Today we want to teach you how to upload camera photos to google drive.
To save this small setback we must use a free application that also gives us some other things. We talk about CloudVault allows us to upload the photos we take with our camera to a folder selected for it. This is something that another Google service, Picassa and later Google + did, but the synchronization with Drive is non-existent.
With CloudVault, apart from being able to save the photos that we are taking, we can also have a DCIM folder backup, where all the photos and videos that we already have go. That is, if we copy photos or videos to our SD card, without having to do them with the camera of our mobile phone or tablet, we will also find them in Google Drive after being uploaded by CloudVault.
These uploads can be programmed to only be performed when we have a connection to WiFiFor that reason, not to pull the data rate, and select what type of files we want to upload: videos only, photos only or both. This option makes Google Drive outperform the official Dropbox application. Its handling is really simple and it is presented with Holo interface, an aspect that gives you familiarity.
Best of all, it is completely free and that only occupies 3 MB, something that in tablets should not worry us too much.
In my experience, I use all the storage services at my disposal as long as they have an application and in their free mode. They all do more or less the same and we can cover shortcomings with patches like this one. The important thing is to be able to access content from the cloud without saturating the memory of our device. Here is a list of the best free cloud storage services for Android.
Download CloudVault free on Google Play.
