If you run out of storage, Google will switch to what it calls standard-size backups. With the Full size backup setting off, you’ll be able to store an unlimited number of photos. Standard sized photos are resized so that the longest edge is less than 2048 pixels, while standard videos are made to be less than 15 minutes long with a resolution of 1080 pixel or less.
The Google Drive’s Photo section lacks the Auto enhance, , Auto Awesome and face-tagging features of Google+ which gives you the option to start backing up all of the photos and videos on your phone or start backing up only those photos and videos taken after the feature was turned on. With Google Drive, it starts backing up your photos and videos as soon as you flip the switch to turn on Auto Backup.
