Comments

You probably keep your most important files and photos in different places—your computer, your phone, various SD cards, and that digital camera you use from time to time. It can be a challenge to keep all these things safe, backed up, and organized, so today we're introducing Backup and Sync. It's a simpler, speedier and more reliable way to protect the files and photos that mean the most to you. This new tool replaces the existing Google Photos desktop uploader and Drive for Mac/PC.

This actually describe the problem a lot of people have without providing a solution. Uploading, Syncing doesn't fix this. How are we going to sort and manage all these files that are scattered in difference medium in the first place? Do we Copy all of them to our PC / Mac? And then Manually sort through all these files, before uploading to Google Cloud?

What if my 256/ 512 GB SSD couldn't fit all these files I have laying around? How am i support to sort through all these files over the last decade if i dont have them stored in the first place?
