"Back up to Google Photos" can be set from PC?

[Alistair]

I wonder whether the option to save your phone’s photos to Google Drive can be set from the PC, or just from the phone.
I found this in the Google help section but can’t quite follow those steps, probably an old configuration:

Open Google Drive for desktop .
Select Open Preferences. Add Folder.
Select the folder that you want to back up to Google Photos.
Add a checkmark next to "Back up to Google Photos."
Select Done. Save.

Those instructions are talking about the PC only.

Select [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]the folder that you want to back up to Google Photos.

[COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]
[COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]the folder is a folder on your PC and has nothing to do with your phone.[/COLOR][/color]

What I mean is that I don’t seem to find those options as listed above from the PC, or the setting to save photos on the drive can be initiated from the phone only?

No.

You can save photos on your PC to Google Drive.
