When uploading photos to Google+ (former Picasa web), is the storage truly unlimited

google-plus

Upload to Google+ from Picasa enables choice of full resolution or smaller for web viewing. If the user uses full resolution and slowely week by week uploads 20 GB of photos, is the storage truly unlimited and how the limits work?

Picasa web had a limit of 1 GB. After change to google+, it is hard to believe that it is unlimited?

Please do not answer with a link to their help file. I am looking for real experience from real users that sucessfully uploaded 20 or more GB of pictures to Google+.

If you upload the original size images, they will be resized to a max resolution of 2048 x 2048 pixels. Images up to (and including) that resolution don't count towards any storage limits.

If you upload images from Picasa, explicitly as full size, then they will count towards your 1 GB storage limit.

But, to answer your question, no, the storage isn't actually unlimited. I bet Google has a lot of storage, but even they don't have unlimited storage.
