A new Photos folder lets you view photos you may have stashed on Google+, and a new auto-backup feature lets you back up the photos and videos on your iOS device. For the purposes of this article, we’ll walk you through the iPhone method, but the steps are almost the same on Android devices.The Google Drive app for iOS received a photo-centric update earlier this week.

For example, VideoSmaller is a great free service specially designed to reduce the size of the videos taken with your iPhone or Android smartphone. Zipping and unzipping files on the iPhone requires you to have the iZip app, so it’s easier to use one of many online video compression services. To avoid cloud downloads, you have two options – zip the video or make it smaller. More often than not, you’ll be sending videos that exceed the 25 MB limit. Gmail attachment size caps at 25MB and if the video is larger it needs to be sent via the cloud and downloaded accordingly.
