i see google+ allows full size resolution, but if one keeps to the standard max of 2048 x 2048 it is free storage, i dont have a fast internet connection at home but would like to backup my photos online, is 2048 x 2048 good?, im using a 14mpix camera, and full resolution would take much longer to upload
 
2048w for a typical DSLR would give you an 2.8mp image.

Think about this for a second

2048x2048 = 4 194 304, or 4.2 million pixels - That's 4 megapixels

You need ~2900x2900 resolution to get 8megapixels

It's a 2.8mp image - I forgot the "2.". :o

2048*1365 (3:2 aspect ratio of a dslr)
 
Before wasting your time with batch uploads do one, and then re-download it and compare to the original. They might be like Facebook have post-processes to reduce file size.
 
How big is your library of images? People like box.net will give you a 50gb account for free which in terms of my 18mp camera is about 13,000 images at very high quality jpg resolution.

My point is the upload speed i have is slow, so uploading smaller resolution pictures would be better.. what loss will you get when printing these pictures at the 2048 resolution

You can print a reasonable jumbo print from a 2048 by 1365px image. I wouldn't push it any larger though.
