You can store your pictures on Google Drive just like any other cloud storage service. You can upload the pictures the way you normally do with other files from a computer, or you can upload them using the Google Drive mobile app. Once you’ve put your pictures in the cloud, you can access them anytime, anywhere with Google Drive.
