Google Photos only looks at the "Camera Roll" album in the Apple Photos app, and it will back up any type of video, regular photos, GIFs (animations), and Live Photos.

So if you're continually getting that "not enough storage" alert from Apple on your iPhone, don't hit "Upgrade Storage" just yet. While $0.99 per month for 50 GB total iCloud storage sounds like a good deal, it's not necessary if you only have 10 GB of media you want to store.

Fortunately, Google offers 15 GB of free storage, making it easy to upload your Camera Roll for safekeeping. With iPhone backups, app data, iCloud Drive files, and even emails (if you have a Mac, Me, or iCloud email address), you'll quickly run out of space to back up photos and videos. Since iCloud's introduction in 2011, you get only 5 GB of complimentary cloud storage with your Apple account.
