The auto-backup functionality is already available in the existing Google One app on Android, but it will now be free even for folks without a Google One membership. What’s more,Google says it will also soon release an iOS app with the new feature.

Google is also adding a new ‘Storage Manager’ functionality to the service across Android, iOS and the web. It will give users“an easy way to see how you’re using your storage, and free up space. You can keep the files you want, get rid of the ones you no longer need, and make room for more—all in one place”, the company said.GIF Courtesy: Google
Do note that the automatic backups will only be applicable for the first 15GB of free storage available with every Google Account. However, people needing additional storage will be able to upgrade to a premium Google One membership right from within the app. Plans start at $1.99 per month in the US.
