More cool news from the folks over at Mountain View, California. In what is presumably an effort to create a more enticing user experience on their Google Plus platform (and a response to Facebook's timeline changes), Google is allowing high-resolution uploads of all your images. Even better, it's free, up to the 5GB limit on your Google Cloud Storage account. Photos that are larger than the 2,048px wide profile format can be checked for "Upload my photos at full size".
Once you've hit the 5GB Cloud account limit, there are charges -- albeit mild ones. $2.50 a month buys you 25GB, and they go up from there, to a whopping 16TB maximum. Not a bad way to back up your photos, if I don't say so myself.
We've been seeing this trend of photographer-friendly updates to G+ for a while now. Is it enough for you to consider this an ideal platform for your work?
