@Seedra That is so strange. Were you uploading the jpg output? I personally haven't seen this issue before. 
Can you put a sample photo in Google drive and share here, so we can have a look. Has this just happened recently, ie you could do it before, but only now has a problem?

I had the same problem..I took some pictures with my canon and try to upload and had the same issue..The fix: Upload the pictures on your phone,  then open  picture in your camera editor and saved it from there. That will compress the picture for you to upload to connect..I hope this helps.

@Mallewis You are right about Connect has a limit of 3MB for each photo shared, that's mainly to ensure the site is fast and responsive. Link here.

 

Google Maps does not have a small size limitation for photos though. Haven't read anywhere if there is a limit, but I am relatively sure most sizes of DSLR single shot output should be acceptable. This is likely a different issue.

My issue might be because I shoot in raw.

Thank you @Mallewis  That solution is best but the problem is, I have a lots of photos. I am going to upload my last tour (9 days) photos to Google map. so it is not easy to me.

@Mallewis Raw files are not supported as far as I know. So, you will need to do the necessary to convert to jpg.

@Mallewis 

Yep, if you try to upload RAW it gives you such error (only to conserve space). 

  for ConnectLive its 3MB photo size limit

 

cheers
