DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


What I want to know about the photo quality thing is will the setting be retroactive?

Right now, I have it set to upload originals. I have like 1tb of google space through various promotions so I really don't care right now. After those promos expire though, I'm not sure I will want to pay to keep that space.

So, if I upload all of mine at original quality now, am I going to have to remove and re-upload later to move them to unlimited if my space trails expire and I don't want to pay?

Changing the upload type doesn't affect any photos that are already uploaded (see here under "Can I change my mind").

So, basically you are stuck.

If I upload 15gb worth of photos at original quality and I let my 1tb of promotion expire, my Drive space will be effectively cutoff for any new additions and in order to move photos to "unlimited", I'll have to remove and re-upload them (which means I will have to redo all album work as well.)

So, what this is essentially encouraging me to do right now is zero out my photo library and start from scratch with "High quality" so I can ensure that photos are never going to take up any or my Google storage.

It would be nice if they gave you a "convert to high quality" option on existing photos.
