What are "Google+ Photos"? Are these equivalent to when I make an album on Facebook? If so, I'm not a fan.
I use SkyDrive and have it so pictures I take with my WP are auto-uploaded. As such, my SkyDrive is filled with tonnssss of pictures (I take a good amount of photos on my phone). But the pictures that get auto-uploaded to SkyDrive are a different "type" (at the very least, simply unfiltered) than those which I would upload to a Facebook album/G+ Photos.
I would be annoyed as a Google service user if I had to choose between allocating room for "photos uploaded to drive" and "Google+ photos". They serve different purposes, and a heavy user of both services will have many photos on both.
- tonfa 13y agoIt just means that photo above some resolution uploaded through G+ (or instant upload) count towards your google storage quota (shared with drive and gmail). I am not sure what you mean by allocating room.
- rlu 13y agoOh wait so in Google land, if I have an Android phone and have instant upload enabled, photos go into Google+ rather than Google Drive? I think that alleviates my concern.
- tonfa 13y agoCorrect, instant upload shows up in Google+ (though I wouldn't be surprised if they make it surface in drive at some point, that could be convenient). Edit: and unless you check the box "full resolution upload" it won't count against your quota anyway.
