Was thinking the other day about how my photos are being backed up online and hoping someone here has the definitive answer.

I use iCloud Photo Library to Backup my photos and have "Optimise Phone Storage" enabled to save space on my poor 16gb iPhone.

My question is....Do apps like Dropbox or Google Photos backup the "Optimised" lower quality photo? or do they use some sort of API to pull the full photo to their service?

I like to have my photos backed up by multiple services but wondering if iCloud will be holding a higher quality version compared to 3rd party services like Dropbox and Google Photos?
