If you use a Mac and came from IOS, then you might know of the new feature called PhotoStream.
Take a pic on your iPhone/iPad and if your on WiFi it will upload the Picture to all of your IOS devices and Mac computers.
Well I found this super cool way to get your GS3 or any Android phone to get this feature to work, in fact it will auto upload your Pictures and Videos to iPhoto when your GS3 is on WiFi or 3G/4G.
No credit to me, I found it online, but tested it out and its great.
You will need to have a DropBox account setup on your Mac as well as on your GS3, turn on the Auto Upload feature in the app on the GS3 and watch how fast it puts all your pictures in iPhoto without having to Sync your GS3 to anything.

Cool.

Semi related in case folks are looking for a more Googleish option. Google+ has an "Instant Upload" feature (you can limit it to wifi or upload over cellular too) that uploads your photos and videos to picasa web albums / Google+ (set to private by default). Here is some info... well I can't link because I'm new... Just google "google + instant upload" and you should find instructions easily.



I find that even if you don't use Google+ auto uploading is at least is a handy supplemental backup feature.

With Telus and some other carriers you automatically get 49gb free for 2 years when you log in to Dropbox from your S3.

Additionally, if you have Google AdWords credit laying around, you can get up to 16gb free by creating an adwords campaign, worked well for me:

This will basically ensure that I have enough storage for a very long time for all my photos and videos, even after the 2 years is up.
