It really is crap and buggy.
I can't for the life of me get decent wallpapers i've downloaded off this site to auto backup to Google photos recently, no matter what i try.
I email the wallpapers to myself from work so that i can then dload them onto the phone, they then appear in the Download folder on my phone which is on the SD card. I can view them fine in the phone's gallery. I go into the Google photos app and they either aren't there at all (haven't backed up) or if i mess about with it and turn the cloud icon off and on in device folders for the "Download" OR "Wallpapers" folder they then show but with a cloud icon in the corner of each relevant pic and a line through it. i.e. they aren't online in Google Photos.
However all my other folders have backed up fine to Google photos. Camera pics, memes, cars, etc etc. These are all in different folders on the SD card.
I've cleared the Google+ and Photos cache and data, tried turning data/wifi on/off or on together. Turned sync off/on turned the photos backup options on/off (it says its backing up, but it doesn't or gets stuck at 1 of xxxx). Nothing works for these particular wallpaper pics.
It has worked in the past as i have hundreds of wallpaper pics shown in Google photos using the same method.
If i do any of this from a PC straight to google photos it works just fine. Well saying that even the PC autobackup tool doesn't always backup every single photo either and i have to upload the missing ones manually.
The app is buggy as hell and its doing my head in. Rant over.
