The popular search engine giant, Google is rolling out ‘Express Backup’ which is basically a faster way to back-up Google Photos.
While Google Photos is an extremely important utility for a lot of Android and iOS users that backs-up their original photos in high quality, it can sometimes take longer to back-up or miss some photos due to various reasons which makes the overall user experience slightly intrusive. According to Google, a third of people in India who use Google photos have some photos that weren’t backed up. Going by user experience, a lot of users from around the world have experienced this issue.
To counter this problem, Google has come with a new service to streamline back-up photos with a seamless experience. Google is now offering a new back up option in the Google photos called ‘Express Backup’. This option will now provide a faster back up at a low resolution. The backing-up of photos at a low resolution will make it easier for the photos to upload even when the user has poor or infrequent Wi-Fi connectivity as the reduced resolution compresses the image to 3MP while the video is reduced to 480p.
The option was originally rolled out to a small number of people in India, last year as part of testing. Now that it has been proven successful Google is rolling out this feature to a lot more people in the Asian region. Google has also confirmed that it will bring this feature to a lot more countries.
It should also be mentioned that the search engine giant is also planning to introduce a new ‘Data Cap’ option for backup that provides users a lot more control on for monitoring and controlling their cellular data on daily basis by giving the users the option to set-up how much mobile data should be used for back-ups. These options include 5MB, 10MB, 30MB, unlimited and as well as Wi-Fi only option.
