How do I back up photos from my phone without running out of space?
Asked by

I've been struggling with too many pictures on my smartphones and it's leading to some serious storage issues. I've already maxed out my Google Drive and have faced the unfortunate experience of bricking two phones because of not enough storage. Is it common for people to have this much storage used up by pictures, like 85GB? I really need some adulting advice here. Do most people move their photos to an external hard drive, or do they pay for cloud storage? What are some effective ways to back up my photos without hitting storage limits?

I keep my photos saved on my desktop PC's hard drive. It's reliable and then I back everything up to an external drive, just to be safe. Got to make sure they don’t get lost!

You could start by plugging in a USB drive to your phone to transfer photos directly onto it. I’m not quite sure how your phones got bricked though; that’s a bit concerning!

If you've maxed out your Google Drive, consider upgrading your plan. It's a pretty decent option—about £1.59 a month for 100GB or £7.99 for 2TB. It can make a real difference if you're backing up a lot of photos!
