So I really like the fact I can view all my Picasa pics on my phone which are on my account, however my wife would like to have them under her Gallery too (under her GMail)... is this possible without uploading everything to her Picasa?
Subscribing because I'd like to know this as well.
Sounds like a good question to post on the picasa site.
Well I searched Picasa's site and there are multiple support questions asking about sharing a Picasa account across multiple Gmail accounts and there is no way to do it. I'd settle for being able to login to my Gmail under her phone for the Gallery application...
I have my gallery setup to sync stuff with Google Photos. See the screenshot. But it does not appear to sync anything, when I login to my Google account and check Photos, I end up at a Google+ page which has a section 'Photos from my phone', but this has to do with the instant upload feature of Google+ (which I don't use).
Am I overlooking something here? Is Gallery syncing successfully for anyone?
Same here, the gallery doesn't sync photos taken by the camera :/
Ok. Reported an issue at code.google.com.
Noticed the same thing. Only with me the photo albums on Google+ are showing on my phone while I have every option to show this disabled
Ok according to a reply on my issue there the Gallery sync option only syncs Picasa web albums to your phone. For uploading photos to Google, the 'instant upload' setting of Google+ should be used. This puts uploaded photos in a non-public Picasa web album.
Sounds fair enough, but uploaded photo's are resized and compressed. Not exactly a proper backup in my opinion.
You need to enable auto-sync to see the check boxes.

Ok,
First off Picasa is Google+ Photos. If you have anything in Picasa Web Albums it will be in your Google+ Photos under albums. Google+ Photos will eventually replace Picasa
1. You can not send photos to Picasa direct frorm the gallery anymore, most likely a Google+ thing. You can use the Picasa tool in the market do do this if you need to.
For me I have instant upload enabled on Google+, so any picture I snap on my camera gets uploaded to Google+ Photos. It is by default private so its only viewable to me.
I use the Picasa desktop tool to keep my pictures on my computer in sync with Google+ Photos. If I add any albums to my pictures folder it syncs into Google+ Photos as a private album only viewable to me. You can set different options with the tool to either upload the original picture or a compressed picture suitable for web viewing. The cool thing is is that it does not effect my 100GB of space I have with Google.
With this setup I really don't need to be uploading to many albums direct to Picasa from my phone unless someone sends me a photo through email or something. Even if that is the case I have the Picasa tool which works really well with Androids sharing features. I'm sure in the next release Google might add the abillity for the gallery to be able to view Pictures from Google Drive or Drop Box...that would really be sweet.
Galaery not syncing
As of May 27th 2012 my Nexus STOPPED syncing all my photos and I have no idea how to get it to turn back on. I have tried manual sync, turned off the account, back on.. short of removing and then re-adding.... which threatens to remove soo much I use daily... HELP

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah same here. I don't even get the "Instant Upload" option in the account sync settings oh my Nexus running Jelly Bean. What gives? This is honestly getting frustrating dealing with Android and all it's tiny little problems that go unnoticed here and there.
Do you mean you don't have these settings?

Search for haxsync on the market.
Facebook Contact Sync works too and is free.
I am running liquidsmooth right now and am stuck with the gallery that wont sync with web albums (I find it odd that there is even an option to sync google+ pictures if they wont show up in the gallery). Can somebody help me with the correct apk to get the gallery that will synch with web albums? Also, if I go to the old gallery, will it break the filmstrip capability of the 4.2.2 camera?
This is the one I have been using. I just flash in recovery. It does show me 2 galleries and 2 cameras after. But doesn't bother me.

Perfect, thanks
Can anyone tell me how to sync my Contacts' pictures with their Facebook profiles' HQ pictures???
This was so much easier in Sense.
So nobody knows?
I use an app called SycnMe. You can find it in the play store.
