Syncing photos between computer and phone
If you find yourself regularly transferring photos from your phone to your computer, you may want to consider using a cloud service. Cloud storage services store your data in 'the cloud' (an external server). This is great, because you can then link your computer and multiple devices to your cloud account which allows you to access all of the data at any time, on any device. Thinking about photos specifically, you can set your phone up to store any photos you take in your cloud storage, so that they're not taking up loads of space on your device.
There are many cloud services available, but some of the most popular are iCloud, Google Drive and Dropbox.
