Hello there,
has anyone tried this and uploaded some photos to facebook?
I tried it and it created the album which I chose. But then it put only the first picture in that album and the rest in mobile uploads album. And right before the last picture it stopped working and it had to be closed.
I have used it to upload photos to a specific photo album on Facebook without problem. I used the Gallery app, clicked share, then facebook for htc sense, then it let me choose the album and voila.
I did each picture individually, but I don't mind that, because I like to sort them as I upload anyhow.
So I wanted to share my photos in Gallery on Picasa, but the catch is that I want to share them in a album which is shared with me along with upload rights.
Well I could not see any list of existing albums in the drop down.
Secondly I have another google account configured in the device, but even that account is not visible in the account dropdown while trying to share the photo with picasa.
Hop you understood my issue.
Any helpers?
I have 2 random photo albums in my gallery which I can't delete. Instant uploads and scrapbook photos. I don't want these. 1 has a random photo in it I never took and the other is empty. How can I delete them, I can't find a way to delete! Most annoying!

Hello,
Instant uploads is the photo album created by Google+ and I must say it's pretty decent. It uploads (if you agree at the setup) your pics to G+ and stores them for you. No one can see them, you have to decide if you want to publish them. You can delete it from G+ account on your PC (haven't tried from mobile).
Second one is either another G+ photo album, or one from Picasa? Try Picasa Web Albums to see if it's there.

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

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?

i've a GS2 and all pictures and videos i take are saved on the phone's internal memory. I installed google+ and my pictures and videos upload directly to google+. Lately, my brother told me about picasa and since i need to manage my phone's memory, i was wondering if:
1- can the pictures and videos uploaded from my phone to google+ be saved on picasa too? and how?
2- to save memory on my 16gig GS2, can i delete the pics and videos from my phone once they are uploaded to picasa or google+?
3- If i get another android phone, can i easily access my pics and videos saved on google+ and/or picasa from the new phone ( the new GS3)?
I will appreciate any instructions or assistance on these questions since i am new to all this cloud thing.
1. I use picasa and when i have auto upload on in Google+ they are also automadically in picasa as well.
2. Yes you can.
3. You can use the gallery app that comes with the phone. if your setup with your google account you will see you pictures that are out in picasa as well.
