I figure that the credit card used to upgrade my allowance proved that I was a real user, not a spamming computer. As soon as I upgraded my storage, I was able to upload photos again, but have still not used any of my storage allowance since all my pictures are converted to 2048x1536. There was also a statement from google implying that it was protecting against spamming. Since all of my photos were less than 2048x2048, I hadn't used any of my 1 GB allowance, yet I was still getting an exception in the uploader that implied some upload limit.Īfter some google searching, I found that other people who have had this problem solved it by signing up for the 25 GB upgrade. Around 11,000 photos, I hit a limit and the uploader started giving me an error. For instance, I signed up two weeks ago and then started uploading a decade worth of photos.
It seems the limit exists to prevent spamming. One thing to note, is that if you upload a whole bunch of photos on the free account, you will eventually hit a limit. If you don't sign up for Google+, then any photos larger than 800x800 are counted against your storage allowance, which is 1 GB for the free account. Photos from your Nexus will be resized to 2048x1536, which is approximately 3 megapixels and is still more than large enough for prints.
When syncing photos from your phone or computer (unless you choose to change the settings), it will automatically resize the photos so their longest size is 2048. As a Google+ member, you can upload an unlimited number of photos sized less than 2048x2048 and videos less than 15 minutes. File attached.Ĭlick to expand.You should sign up for Google+ even if you don't use it. This is all predicated on the SYNC slide switch being in the "on" position. So if you delete a file from your computer, Picasa should delete the same file from the server and vice-versa. So if you have a file folder (call it folder "A") that houses photos you upload to Album "A" on the server, yo can have it set so anytime there is a change to folder A on your computer or Album A, it will do the same to the opposing folder.
Picasa will sync the photos in a particular folder on your computer to the specific web album of your choice. You can basically add any file folder (I don't remember the specific steps, but its fairly intuitive). You first have to tell Picasa where your photos reside on your computer. You can also download the albums from the server to you computer as an "Album" so you will see the album on your local hard drive for viewing so you don't have to be on line. If you download the Picasa software, you can upload (and sync) pictures from your computer to the Google server. I have been using Picasa Web Albums for a bit.
