Cloud photo gallery

Phil, everyone else....

I think we all must agree that onboard storage is at a premium, is it possible to take a photo and have upload to say dropbox/google drive automatically but NOT to the onboard gallery?

Add much as I can't wait to get my N4, taking lots of photos over the next couple of years will no doubt cause me grief!

I'm selling my GS3 and I'm hoping that I can still keep the 50GB of dropbox space that I got with it

Google+ can automatically upload all of your photos to an unpublished album.
Besides that, I do not believe that it will have an option to bypass internal storage.
Really, all you would need to do is perform "Spring Cleaning" on occasion and remove old photos.

Ah, forgot about that, is it unlimited storage and do know if it automatically makes the upload album unpublished?

Google Plus advertises that it's unlimited storage, however there are reports that the magic number is 7.6GB.

Regarding the unpublished album - when I signed up for Google+ it automatically was sending all my pictures to an unpublished album by default, I did not have to set it up.

Yes you can indeed.

I have Dropbox, and I use on the Android an app called DropSync, which does real two-way sync.

The app allows the user to setup pairs of folders (local on Android, and remote on Dropbox), and sync them in many ways: two-way, upload only, download only, upload and delete, download and delete.

For pictures, I setup a folder on my SD card, let's call it "Gallery" for now. Same on Dropbox. And then setup a rule on DropSync that will upload any file from "Gallery" on the SD card to "Gallery" on Dropbox, and delete from the SD card.

Notice that the "Gallery" folder in Dropbox is not public, and is not a default folder for pictures or anything.

Likewise, I setup In and Out folders on both sides, for upload/download and delete (easy to get files from one side to the other and remove them from origin).

There are some interesting webservices such as ifttt, Wappwolf and the newer Zapier that can automate cloud things. For instance: if a file is uploaded to my Dropbox "Gallery" folder, then resize it and upload it to my Flickr album.

I hop this helps.

Nice, was unaware of DropSync, I will check it out when I get my new phone.

Google+ uploads your pictures, but doesn't keep the original resolution. You need Picasa if you're going to do that in the Google environment.
