You can finally queue offline uploads in Google Photos

The feature is making its way to users as part of a server-side rollout.

What you need to know

Google Photos is finally rolling out the ability to add new files to albums even when you're offline.
The functionality appears to be live in the latest version of the Google Photos app for Android for some users.
Any new photos or videos you add to an album offline will be synced as soon as you are connected to the internet.

The Google Photos app gained a new Documents tab earlier this week, making it a lot easier for users to find their documents. Google has now quietly added another new feature to the app, allowing users to add new photos and videos to albums even when they're offline, without having to back up files.

Google Photos Add Photos Offline

As reported by Android Police, the highly anticipated feature is now live for some users in the latest version of the Google Photos app on Android. If you're among the lucky users who have received the feature, you can now add photos and videos to existing and new albums in Google Photos even when you are not connected to the internet.

The changes that you make to an album will be automatically synced to Google servers as soon your phone is back online. Unsurprisingly, the process for adding new content offline isn't any different from when you're online. All you need to do is select the files and then add them to an album. In case you already have the latest version of Google Photos installed on your phone and are still unable to add content offline, you may have to wait a few more days for Google to flip the server-side switch.

Even though cloud storage on Google Photos will no longer be free on non-Pixel phones from June, the recent feature additions have made the app even better. Not only is Google Photos a fantastic app for managing all your photos, its AI-powered editing features also make it one of the best photo editing apps for Android.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
