However, according to Google Drive’s own app description in the iTunes App Store, it appears that Google Drive will, after all, take over the backup function very soon:
What’s New in Version 3.5.0
- Auto Backup photos and videos from your Camera Roll (rolling out over the next few weeks)
- Bug fixes and performance improvements
This isn’t the first time Google has released a really cool feature for iOS users before Android: does anyone remember the whole Hangouts dialer fiasco?
In any case, this is coming to Android soon. Hopefully sometime this year.
[iTunes] Thanks, Cool!
