Select the folders that you want to backup to Drive automatically. In my case, I chose Desktop, Documents, and Pictures. If you wish to backup your photos to Google Photos, toggle this checkbox marked in red below and click 'Next'. Now, it's time to create a folder that will store a copy of your Drive files. Open Google Drive in your browser. On the left, you will see a ‘Google Photos' tab. On the Google Photos tab, click the gear icon at the top right and select ‘Settings'. On the settings window, scroll down and enable the ‘Create a Google Photos folder' option. I have noted that there are numerous pix in Google Photos that are NOT in the Windows Pictures folder. I have been researching the Web to determine how pix in Google can be transferred to the Windows Pictures sub-folders. I do not use Google Drive would rather not use it or Windows Photo app to do this if possible. Thereafter, scroll down to the ‘Sources' section and click ‘Add a folder' option. Now from the 'Select Folder' window, select ‘Google Photos' folder visible under Google Drive folder. Finally, click ‘Add this folder to Pictures' and wait for few minutes for the folder to populate.
