how can i set up Google Photos or Google Drive so that all my videos, and photos will be automatically saved to Google Drive (my google account) and so they will be automatically deleted from my physical storage of my phone? i only have 16 GB of storage on my phone so it fills up fast because i use messengers a lot , ( like whatsapp ).
