G+_Gavin Rawson Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Jason Howell Gina Trapani Chad Johnson regarding the email you had on the last show about Google+ unlimited photo storage. In the Google+ settings they is a option to upload photos at the lower resolution for unlimited photo uploads. I uploaded 1000+ pics at the weekend without going into my drive allowance from the desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mark Slavin Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Yes, but do you want to only keep (relativity) low resolution copies of your photos? I pay Google for 80gb of storage and its pretty cheap (grandfathered in). To move up to the next size is quite a jump. If Google don't feel generous enough to bump everyone up to 1tb they could store all your instant uploads at full resolution, work their magic and then reduce the resolution of the "non highlighted" photos back to the size that doesn't affect your storage allowance.

G+_Gavin Rawson Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Agree that your backup shouldn't be lower resolution. I use Google+ as my secondary photo backup for sharing with friends and family. I use skydive as my main cloud storage but might shift over to Google drive now that the android app has been improved.

G+_Vance McAlister Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I do the same thing, I use Google Plus as an organizing and sharing platform on the web, but use a different service for my full size backup. For that, I use Copy because it has automatic backup from my phone and I have 120 GB free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dave Bach Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 For me Yahoo stepped up and changed the game with their updated Flickr app and 1TB of free storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
