Google One cloud storage went live last year offering a paid storage for backing up phone data to the cloud. Starting at $1.99 per month, users are offered storage options ranging from 100GB to 30TB to save messages, photos, videos, and contacts online in case disaster strikes.
Yesterday Google announced in a blog post they're improving the service. Besides the standard features mentioned above, Google One will now automatically backup your phone. In addition, the service will backup original quality photos, videos, and multimedia messages (MMS). And users will be able to manage all that on their Android devices from the Google One app.
Google said, "With Google One, you already get more storage for your photos, videos, and documents—giving you the peace of mind that your memories and important files are stored in the cloud. Now with automatic phone backup, we're taking another step in helping you keep the stuff you care about safe."

Pushbullet is starting the year with a pretty big update for those out there who still send MMSs. In case you forgot, MMS are picture messages that we used to send before smartphones were invented. OK, That's a bit exaggerated, but I do not know anyone around me who still sends MMS. The folks behind Pushbullet seems to think the contrary and decided to bring MMS support to the app.
Today's update will let users send picture messages via Pushbullet. Since the app is cross-platform, you will be able to send picture messages from a PC, a Android device running Lollipop or more.
So if you're still sending MMSs around, check out the latest version of Pushbullet in the Play store.
