Google offers a simple and effective way to back up your Android data through your Google account. This method automatically syncs your essential data, such as contacts, app data, and settings, to Google's servers. It's an excellent choice for users who want to keep their data secure without using third-party tools.
Steps to use a Google account for backup:
Step 1. On your Android phone, go to "Settings" > "System" > Backup (this may vary slightly depending on the phone model).
Step 2. Make sure the "Back up to Google Drive" option is turned on. This ensures that app data, system settings, contacts, calendar, and more are automatically backed up to your Google account.
Google Backup doesn't cover all types of files. Photos and videos are backed up only if you use Google Photos, and media files like music are not included unless stored in Google Drive.

Step 1. Use a USB cable to connect your Android phone to the computer. Once connected, your phone will prompt you to choose a connection type; select "File Transfer" or "MTP".
Step 2. On your computer, open "This PC" or "Finder" (on Mac) and navigate to your device's internal storage.
