On stage during the annual Google IO developer conference, Anil Sabharwal, who conceived, built and launched the photo-organising app, promised that High Quality storage would offer “near-identical visual quality” when compared to your original photos. But Google has changed its tune. With more than four trillion photos uploaded to its servers, Google is changing tact. The Mountain View-based company is now sending out emails to existing Google Photos users to try to push them to move to “Original Quality” uploads. As the name suggests, these completely are uncompressed. But while there’s no impact on the original quality of the photo or video… storing your memories in this quality does count towards your Google Drive allowance.
