Uploading to Google+ (Pic quality question)

SiHH · 5 Jan 2012 at 14:20

Hey guys,

Well having discovered the CameraZoomFX app for my GalaxyS2 I am finding I am using it more and more... great app and a great camera!

I had been storing my pics on to my sd card in the phone but am wary about backing things up and cant be bothered with things like Titanium backup etc etc.

I want something simple and Google+ offers this. A quick change in the settings to the default pic location means all my pics from the CameraZoom app now automatically get saved to my Google+ account. Lovely.

My query is, does the picture quality diminish using this method?

Google+ will resize the picture to 2MP on upload.

Thats a bit naff.

I am trying to find a better solution.

Just read somewhere that using Picasa upload may be a better alternative or maybe Sugarsync or Dropbox?

They all have 2GB limits?

Picasa you need to pay for the 80GB upgrade but its only £15 per year then your pictures wont be resized.

But will they get resized direct from mobile upload?

If you pay for the upgrade on Picasa it shouldn't

Went with Dropbox in the end, tested a couple of other apps but this one resulted in non compressed photos which was important for me.

I will only ever be uploading photos from my phone and you can increase the 2gb limit by inviting others to the service.

Will do me for now, and the android app is easy to use.
