## What is Sync with Google Drive?

Sync for Google Drive synchronizes your phone’s photo library, including the album and folder hierarchy, to Google Drive.

For users who like to organize their photos into folders and albums, Sync offers many advantages over uploading your photos and videos to Google Drive and manually recreating your folder structure on Google Drive.

- Sync automatically creates folders and albums you may have created in your phone’s photo library on Google Drive.

- Uploads the video component for Live Photos.

- Uploads the edited versions of photos and videos.

- Mirror or backup your photo library.

- Synchronize your entire photo library or only certain folders and albums.

In summary, each time you run Sync, it will make sure any changes to your phone’s photo library are updated on Google Drive, overwriting, renaming, uploading, and moving items to Google Drive trash if needed.

Sync will also NEVER delete any photos from your phone. Sync performs a ONE-WAY sync only, making a folder in your Google Drive account match your phone’s photo library. Any changes made on Google Drive will not be synced to your phone, rather, the changes on Google Drive will simply be overwritten the next time you run a Sync.

The free plan is limited to syncing up to 3 top-level folders and albums and up to 200 photos.

### 1/5 — Extremely slow and glitchy

*2025-03-01*

### 1.8 — 2025-12-13

We’ve made it easier to select and filter your photos and videos with new smart albums, alongside the existing Recents album.

The Recents album still includes all your photos and videos, while the new smart albums let you filter by Photos, Videos, Live Photos, RAW Images, Edited, Favorites, Screenshots, and Hidden items.

Smart albums now appear with a “_” prefix (like _Recents), so they are listed first above your own user-defined albums and folders when sorted by name.

### 1.7 — 2025-04-04

This version adds a Backup Mode option.

Backup Mode:
When enabled, new photos and videos will be copied to the cloud, overwriting files with the same name while ensuring that no other files are deleted.

Exact Mirror (Default Mode):
Keep backup mode disabled if you want an exact mirror of your local selections in the cloud, including deletions.
