I get your point. i wish to do this coz this way i can place my logo on outgoing documents or email etc. Maybe a stupid reason,  but does google provide a link for every photo ??? & only we can send it to who we want, correct ?????......& how would i upload a photo to google drive ????  its just a massive hassle searching for a particular photo in G drive ...cheers mate.

Seems an unnecessarily complicated way of doing it. What's stopping you inserting the logo into the document or an email?

So what are these photos/videos? If I were Mr Plod the Policeman reading this I would be wondering why someone claiming perfectly innocent family pics is so worried others may gain access to them

Seems to me that there has been some very sensible advice given yet being rejected.

Could of course email them to yourself = I often do that when working on a job so I can access them from my other laptop or desktop. Have just done so for a book I am working on

How is it "just a massive hassle searching for a particular photo in G drive"? Your G drive will only contain images you put there. My G drive contains about 10 videos and a few images, it doesn't take long to find what I want.

why not ? it would be a nightmare. say we went to a particular country and took pictures, google dont know what to name them and we may not have enough time to name them. damned then ! trying to find those particular photos especially when you dont even remember the date ?? There is 1 particular photo & i've been searching on G Drive for 3 yrs, no luck, gave up finally but i know its there. well, i save all sorts on G Drive, images, videos, PDF files, music, gif files etc etc..just about everything i save on G Drive.

Google can use the GPS coordinates from your mobile phone photos to catalogue them automatically (by location) and also allows you to search them for other attributes.

Could of course put them onto a Portable Hard Drive - I did suggest that you set up an account and email them to yourself.

As Undervalued has said

Unless you needs are truly exceptional I can see no reason why any of the reputable services are not secure providing you follow all of their security protocols (strong passwords, two factor authorisation etc).***

I just dont know who and why to trust a memory card or any drives etc. last year i purchased 3 SanDisk 64GB.128GB & another 64 GB card, a year age. All cards dead now, this is how : if 1 TF card is my phone is in my phone for some months and if i remove that TF card and insert it in my other device (another phone). says "something like this, no files found, please format your card"...i thought never...then that same TF card i put in a Bluetooth  device and it said something in Chinese, when translated it sort of means, no files, format card"....

so i dont know what to believe in but i know i HAVE TO !!!!

I suspect the card "issue" with your phone is more to do with Android's ability to adopt:

https://source.android.com/docs/core/storage/adoptable

Basically what this means is if you format a card on an Android phone and allow the phone to "adopt" it, that card will no longer work in any other device unless you reformat it in the other device, which breaks the link between it and the first device.

modern memory cards should last best part of a decade at least (in theory they can last up to 30 years).  If yours aren't lasting at least a year then you're doing something seriously wrong.

NO NO NO....that total wrong....basically the whole idea behind this is to add my LOGO to the out going email or documents and like you said, i dont know care if my logo is stolen...but its mailnly for outgoing email (as a signature) or to send a document to a friend or anyone else ????...

hope this explanation sounds more reasonable????

Here you go:

Please be advised that if the person you are sending the email to decides to view them in plain text, your pretty logo will not be seen.  It will just show up as an attachment.  You have no control over this.
