Want your photos and videos backed up automatically? Auto Backup saves new photos and videos from your phone to your account without you having to do anything.
How do I enable Auto Backup?
- Tap on Account
- Tap on Application Settings
- Under Autobackup Settings, use the toggle switches to choose what to back up:
- Turn on Photos to back up photos only
- Turn on Videos to back up videos only
- Turn on both to back up photos and videos
- Turn on Use Cellular Data if you want Auto Backup to run without WiFi
- Select your upload timeframe:
- All Media backs up everything on your phone (photos, videos, or both, depending on your settings above)
- Only New Media backs up anything you capture from now on, plus everything from the past 24 hours
- Allow Photobucket to access photos and videos on your device
- To choose where your backups go, select Change Bucket and pick a Group. By default, backups go to the Group you used to access My Account.
