Last I tried it was on iOS a few years ago. You could have it upload
all photos and videos automatically, or you could select individual
items to upload. I figured the automatic thing would be ideal because
it would make the photo documentation brainless.
Manually selecting things to upload would work as long as you're ok with
it NOT being brainless.

On my computers, Dropbox only replicates files put in the Dropbox

syncs between devices. It doesn’t sync everything.
I’ll admit I haven’t configured my phone for Dropbox, so I don’t know
if it works the same on Android or iOS.
Note that Dropbox also lets you sign into your account on the web and
has nice features like being able to access Word and Excel files even
if you don’t have that software on the computer you are using. Again,
I haven’t tried that on my phone. I know there are people who
successfully use their phone as a computer, but I must lack the
phone-as-computer gene.

The complaint about Dropbox was employees were using their personal
phones, and they didn't want Dropbox to automatically upload their
personal photos. At the time I didn't have a good answer for that
complaint.

The nice thing about dropbox is that even if you are in a no cell
coverage area it will upload automatically as soon as you are (if
you have it set to do that otherwise it will only upload to the
server/cloud when connected to Wi-Fi only). The dropbox app on
your computer will also download a local copy to your hard drive
for any computer you have it installed on. A passive process all
around. You can install the app on more than one computer and sign
in with that account and it will sync local copies to all of those
computers/drives. Multiple redundant copies that way. You can also
share the folders to other accounts and/or create3 public links
for read only access to files or folders. I have been using
dropbox for 10 years now, love it.
Thank You,

This and the dropbox posting by Mike seem to be a great answer.

Google photos is pretty automatic. Store photos and videos, and
there is some compression if it's a free account. A paid account
can have significant storage. The latest version you can turn off
some of the "automaticness".

Just use Dropbox or Google Photos\Drive to auto-upload all
photos\videos all of the time.

My crews hit a city water main last week. It happens. House
sized crater in the street. We are still working on fixing the
hole.
They claim they did not see any paint. City says it was
painted. Our policy is to video all construction prior to
settle issues like this. But in this case the guy doing the
video thinks he had his phone set on photo instead of video.
So we have a couple of stills that are far from conclusive.
I am finding myself increasingly a technological luddite. I
don’t know exactly what instagram is. I presume it is
something like FB but with photos. I have heard of
periscope. I think that is a FB thing.
I need something that would allow videos of sites like this to
be automatically uploaded and stored in the cloud so that I
can see them and access them instantly in the event of a
utility strike.
So, I will take off my wooden shoes for a bit and not insert
them into the gears of learning if you kind folks would
enlighten me as to what options exist.
