Need help with Google Photos

I can't figure out to upload photos from my Android phone to Google Photos. I have a lot of photos in there that I'd Iike to upload to Google Photos, so I can then download them to the Android tablet I do most of my internet activity on.

At one time, my phone was set to automatically backup photos to Google Photos, but it stopped doing that a while back. I don't know how the setting got changed or how to fix it.

Basically, I want to set Google Phtos to backup again, AND I want to upload a bunch of pics that weren't automatically backed up to Google Photos. Can anyone help?

1. My dear ShazzieB! I am so sorry, but I have no idea how to do that.

You might try asking your question in whatever search engine you like, like Google. That might work.

Click Backup. Go through each setting on the page--selecting the quality and which folders you want automatically backed up, but also be mindful of the fact that there is a storage limit. I have unlimited but if you don't, that could be why. Despite having unlimited storage, I use the Storage Saver setting because you never know if you might have to switch storage providers one day.
