#Google photos backup stalled free

Deleting photos to free up space shouldnвЂ™t have any positive effect. This isnвЂ™t related to the amount of free space you have in your storage quota, itвЂ™s about the number of bytes youвЂ™re pushing to your Google account in a certain timeframe.

A photo you upload to Picasa Web will be accessible from Google+, and vice versa. Photos that are uploaded to Picasa Web are saved on your Google account, they do not need to be re-uploaded to Google+. If youвЂ™re trying to transfer a large quantity of photos (totaling well over 1 GB) in a short amount of time, you may see our Error 17 or Server rejected errors. ThatвЂ™s also a long thread, so to summarize: I canвЂ™t provide exact details about those limits because they help us address abuse, but the more recent reports I see in this thread look more like what is reported at There are limits to both filesizes per video (up to 1 GB) and to the number of bytes you upload to your Google account in a certain timeframe. рџ™‚ The original issue reported here should have been resolved in July 2011, but our team has created additional confusion because Picasa uses a generic вЂњServer rejectedвЂќ error message rather than a more specific error code. Hi everyone, thanks for your kindly emails. Unfortunately itвЂ™s not clear if this is a temporary cool down or permanent ban on uploading. I did find this post by Brian Rose from 2011 which appears to be the only place a Google employee has discussed these limits. HereвЂ™s what it looks like when I try to upload files to the photo uploader: HereвЂ™s what happens if I try to upload a photo and share it on Google Plus: I then tried uploading a photo from my photoblog four days ago but that failed too! Then I noticed photos from my phone werenвЂ™t being backed up to G+. It did this a few times but by restarting the upload worked again.

My photo archive on G+ stands at just over 100,000 images.ДЇirst of all the auto backup app stopped working. It all came to a crashing halt last weekend. Old photos I hadnвЂ™t seen in years popped up in stories and animations and I shared some of them too. The upload was working fine, Google Awesome started doing itвЂ™s #Awesome job making animated GIFs and enhancing photos. I have over 155,000 photos but I have a relatively slow upload speed of about 50KB/s so I knew it would take a while. IвЂ™m not sure how long the penalty stays in place or if it is lifted at all.ДЄ few weeks ago I decided to use the desktop Auto Backup tool to make a copy of my photo archive on G+.

Tl dr: if you upload a large number of photos Google may stop you uploading new photos to Google Plus.
