Once installed, simply connect to the desired Google Account and then choose the sources of backup and size of uploaded pictures. This step is quite important. For one, it allows Google to choose which folders will automatically upload photos to the cloud. Each added image in a folder, these images will be automatically uploaded.

The size of the photos is an important choice. Google Photos allows a choice between "High Quality" and "Original Size." In the first case, the imported photos and videos will be resized and compressed to 16 MP and limited video in 1080p. But the storage space is then unlimited. In the second case Google Photos does not affect the size or image compression and upload the file in the state. 

 However, the weight of these photos and videos will be deducted from Google Drive storage.

Once uploaded, Google Photos to PC to display uploaded images on a web browser. The interface is now very simple and merely on a white background display with a search engine and a few options. A priori, it is far from automatic sorting options that can achieve the Android application. It is possible to briefly touch up photos, to have some information about them or share them on social networks or via shortened links goo.gl. Some options are also available via a side menu, which provides access to the wizard or create collections.
