We are almost towards the end of another year and 2014 is just a couple months away. We have seen technology developing very fast in past few years. There are huge advancements in mobile phone sector. But still many of us prefer to stay with old methods. But now time has changed. I am talking about how you upload and save your photos and videos. Let me guess you may be saving it to your computer’s hard drive by transferring it via USB cable or you may be using some wireless transfer apps like AirDroid for Android phones and more for other.

But these methods are also old now. Because your PC’s hard drive may crash some day or you are out of country or town and you need that stuff immediately. You need not to worry we have solution for that too.

Now a days many companies have launched various auto syncing applications which upload your videos and photos to their online servers to which only you have access unless you have given permission to anyone. These applications allows you to access your data from anywhere in the world. All they need is internet connection. Google Plus is one of them which offer this service. Follow the steps below to enable the same for you.
