How To Upload My Photos From My Iphone To Dropbox

Question

I recently download the new Google Photos app for iOS, and I noticed that my photos are only uploaded when I have the app opened and in focus.

Groundwork app refresh is on for the app.

Is there another setting I can tweak to get in upload even when I'chiliad non using it? Otherwise I need to remember to open it from time to fourth dimension to accept my pictures safely backed up.

Is this a limitation in iOS that cannot exist worked around? Is it something that should be programmed in the app itself and information technology's non?

I had the same issue, but the one.0.1 release, which came out yesterday, seemed to fix it for me — May 31, 2015 at two:51

Simply make sure the app refresh feature is enabled for Google Photos, enable car-sync and when you're on wifi AND your phone is plugged in to a power source...it will go on to backup. Chief consequence people take is not having your iPhone plugged in. :)

I installed Google Photos 1.5.0.31340, and it inconsistently experiences the aforementioned problematic symptoms described in the above question. I've tried all the suggestions @Cenner mentions in the above answer, and the but thing that consistently works is to run Google Photos in the foreground, without locking my iPhone. I'chiliad running iOS 8.4 (12H143).

In example it makes a deviation: I'yard employing the "Original / full resolution" photos upload option.

I've as well tried @Mark's proposition (in another answer), and closing and re-opening Google Photos. The only thing I tin think of I haven't nonetheless tried is rebooting my iPhone.

My iphone has sync enabled, is on wifi and plugged in every dark, but has failed to sync for several days now. You accept to accept the app open, or enable 'Groundwork App Refresh' as per the other answer.

So I was experiencing the same issue and turning off background app refresh in for Google Photos under the settings app and and so turning it dorsum on seemed to do the trick for me. Also when phone is in power saving mode groundwork upload also disabled. enter image description here

Google Photos does non machine upload when photographic camera capture a photo; so y'all need open up Google Photos to browse the album, then setup allow background refresh for Google Photos.
