I am a self proclaimed “tech freak.” I’ve already gotten a quick overview of everything Google announced during its keynote. Among the many cool tech feature announcements, I also got the first look at Google’s new photo backup service. Trust me, it’s AWESOME! The new Google Photos app aims to be an all-in-one media backup application, so you can access all of your pictures and videos from wherever you are in the world. Since this new app is kind of a big deal, I thought I’d walk you through the set-up process to ensure your experience is hassle-free!

PS: You can get the new version by simply updating your old Photos app. Once the app has been updated, it’s pretty easy to set up.

Step 1

Your Google Photos app looks like this!
