What's a brilliant Android app for backing up all my travel photos and videos so I don't lose them if my phone goes for a swim in the Mekong?

Dropbox is an absolute godsend! It automatically backs up your files, so even if you drop your phone off a cliff in Peru, your memories are grand.

Honestly, Dropbox has saved my bacon more times than I can count. I'm forever snapping photos and videos, and the thought of losing them all gives me the shivers. With Dropbox, I've got automatic backups sorted. It's dead easy to set up, and it just quietly works away in the background, syncing everything to the cloud. I used it all through Southeast Asia, and it was a lifesaver when my phone nearly ended up in a river in Laos! Plus, it doesn't eat up your roaming data too much, which is always a bonus. I even use it to share massive video files with my editor back in Dublin. Absolute peace of mind, especially when you're gallivanting around the globe. It's proper useful!
