I had a question about photo syncing in ICS
is it like iphone where any picture is synced to my google photos (or picasa)
or is the only way to have google plus installed and enable instant upload
i have 'sync google photos' checked in account settings
but all it seems to do is clutter my gallery with pictures it PULLS from picasa/google photo
and not the other way around (sends photos i took online)
is this true?
You can turn on auto upload in G+, and that should do what I think you're asking for.
I know you can do it with G +
My q was is Google Plus even NEEDED, or is gallery sync built in like iCloud
With my Nexus S, Gallery sync is included without Google+, but you still need PicasaWeb.
Gallery will still get "cluttered" with Picasa photos (auto-download is synced) and auto-upload isn't possible (unlike with G+), you have to manually "share" with your Picasa via the Gallery -> Share menu.
Don't know how ICS handles, I would assume similarly.

I've a Desire running DJ DROID Froyo. I've just noticed that the share options (e.g. share to facebook, gmail etc) doesn't include Picasa. I'm sure on the stock ROM it used to - how can I put it back? Have installed the cooliris gallery3d.apk but hasn't helped.
Under settings...accounts...google I do have a tick in "sync picasa web albums" and the gallery app can view my web albums fine, but I can't upload a photo from the device to my picasa folders.
Anyone any ideas?
Is there any way to hide your Facebook photo albums that automatically get sync'd to your stock phone gallery. I want facebook to keep the photos for my contacts but not fill my whole phone gallery app with facebook photo albums. Any one figure this out?

Go to settings, accounts, Facebook, and turn off the Gallery sync. That should do it.
My facebook pictures were syncing just fine with gallery 4.2 but now they do not show up. If I do a system restore and open gallery 4.2, they show up for a split second then they are gone....with the gallery only showing pictures on my phone. Does anyone know all the settings thst I need to get them to show up again?
Would also like to add that my dropbox pictures no longer show up in the 4.2 gallery either.
So I was having a problem syncing my FB events with my Google calendar and upon fixing it, I somehow unsynced my FB photos. The albums show up with no images. There's no option for photos in settings> accounts> FB and gallery options won't allow me to select FB. Also, if I select all the FB albums there is no option to delete! I would like to get the images synced or at least remove the albums. Any help is appreciated.
I am coming from the GP4, and here's my issue. When I utilize an app such as Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and select a photo it automatically defaults to pulling the photo from the Samsung Gallery. Well, when I had a GP4, it would pull from Google Photos regardless, even if the image wasn't local, it would download it from the server and send. There's no way to change the default galleries app that I know of. Does anyone have a workaround for this? Is it changeable?
There's also the issue of taking a photo or video with the default camera app and if you happen to remove the Samsung Gallery APK through the console, pressing on the preview bubble of the just taken picture or video results in an error popup that there is no gallery app installed even though I have Google Photos installed.
I wish Samsungs version of Android would be more open and not so limited to their "core" apps.
