Moving Photos From Your Phone to Drive

If you are taking this class through the BCA, you may be shooting on a phone. If this is the case, you have a different process to go through. Many students and adults even think that the best way to move photos is by emailing them to yourself. You do not want to do this! Email will compress the photo throwing out some of the pixels to make the file smaller. In other words, emailing it will sacrifice quality. Instead we will move them to Google Drive. This process is different on iOS and Android so check out the information for your specific type of phone. 

iOS Users

If you are using an updated version of iOS you may need to change camera to shoot in JPEG instead of Apple's own file type. So if you are going to shoot new pics, follow the steps on the second video first. You can always search for a website to convert your HEIC files afterward, but changing this first will save you some work. ​
Now as an iOS user, the process of moving the images is a little different from android users. Check out the video below.

Android Users

​Since Android already comes with Drive and you should have an account already linked it will be easy for you move your photos. The video below will explain the process.
