Google Drive is content sharing platform & cloud storage service which was released on April 24, 2012. It allows you to backup photos, videos & important files to access them from anywhere in the world. Google Drive allows you to share lots of photos, videos & files at once. If you want to share multiple photos with your family & friends, move them into a folder & share it with others. Google Drive allows you to share an entire photo/video album with others. If you add something into the folder, then they will be able to access them or if you delete something from the folder, then they will lose the access to it.

Here are the steps to Share Photo Album from Google Drive with others:

1. Go to https://drive.google.com/ & sign in to your account. If you don't have an account, then create one.
2. Once you have signed into your account, click "My Drive" button located at the left side of the window.
3. You will see all your photo & video albums.
4. Click the checkbox(es) next to the photo album that you wish to share.
5. Click "More" button located at the top of the window.
6. Select "Share" option from the drop-down menu.
7. Click "Share" option.
8. A "Sharing settings" window opens up.
9. You will see the link to share. Change the settings to "who can access".
10. Enter names or email addresses to invite people.
11. Click "Send" button.
12. Click "Done" button.
13. Your photo album link will now be shared with others.

You can install PicBackMan's Google Drive uploader for Mac from the website and start backing up photos and videos.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.

It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.

I have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!

I was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
