The latest action camera releases of GoPro have a long list of features which has attracted users to purchase the device. This includes the automatic backup of files aimed at helping users keep their files safe.
GOPro Hero 5 Session and Black's automatic backup can be easily switched on but a user needs to update first the software of the action camera. This can be completed on the Camera application of the Quik desktop app.
How to back up files?
After the update, a GoPro user will abe asked to log in or sign up for a GoPro Plus account which will give them a 60-day free access of the GoPro Capture application. However, iOS users can only enjoy the trial period for 30 days because of Apple's limitations.
Once registered on the GoPro Plus account, users can already backup their files by enabling auto upload of photos and video files to their cloud. The auto upload wil start once the GoPro camera detects a WiFi network and when the device is fully charged.
