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.
 
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?
