I am an EVO and Jetstream owner. The Jetstream is my new sole web device. I'm looking for a way to easily sync the pictures between both devices to a cloud service. This would really eliminate the need to transfer pictures from one SD to the other.
I know Photobucket has this option, but I was hoping google Picasa offered it. Or Flickr?anyone have this already set up and functioning?
You can use Picassa, it will sync with all devices using the same account.
Is there a specific Picasa app? There are a few available. HTC has a Picasa plug in for the gallery app under HTC hub, but I didn't see any upload options. I'll look again.

Been working on this for a few days now....
I'm still having difficulty finding out exactly how to sync a gallery and Picasa. I tried photosync which is found on the market and is a nice app, but it that keeps it from successfully syncing for me.
You say you can sync with Picasa... How? What method? My gallery in htc has no such option and I don't see any other apps besides throne I mentioned that does this.
Can you tell me your method?
I appreciate it.
Try google+ its tie into type picassa account and when you take pictures it auto sync rip picassa.
I found out by accident cause I was taken pictures on the phone and for some reason all these pictures showed up on my tablet picassa album. I tracked it down to google+

Well, that solves only half the problem.
Using google plus does sync my library to Picasa, but but it does not sync backwards. Meaning, if I add a picture to Picasa, it doesn't come back down to my Jetstream. Because of this, it doesn't sync my two devices.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Google+, works but only one way sync.
2. Froyo gallery 3d apk, gives the option to sync Picasa web albums in settings> accounts & sync > Gmail, but I couldn't get it to sync.
3. Photosync app from the market, worked perfectly but for some reason will only sync 14 photos Lolol?
At this point, idk.
If anyone else comes along with a method, Let me know. Ill be lurking.

On my SGS2 with ICS, I use Android's built in sync from Accounts and Sync, there are two options which seems like they do the same thing: Sync google photos; sync picasa web albums. May you guys know different, see attached.
I use ICS Gallery app to browse my synced photos, and at some point, after a system reset, a strange folder appeared and I can't get rid of it: Scrapbook photos. It doesn't have anything inside and I can't delete it.

Use FolderSync app on both devices. It offers two-way sync between local-remote folder pair (sub-folder is supported). As a remote service, you can use Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, FTP etc with it.
Best of all: It supports filter which means you can use it to hunt down jpg files from entire sdcard too.
Yeah, try Google+ it has unlimited space for pics(I think) and it syncs with the gallery.
Just use Dropbox the more effective way to access pictures from any device.

Google for Sugarsync. It should solve all Your problem. It is specially designed cloud storage for pics&videos (however You can also upload other files). I remember it had about 3GB (not quite sure)

Yeah, but there are just 2 Gb free unless you have S III or you trick Dropbox.
or if you don't want to use any cloud based service:
a simple Python script using ADB Pull and Push

You can go upto 12GB just by inviting your friends.

Hi everybody,
Wondering if anyone know how can I make Picasa Integration on my Atrix?
I was badly surprised not to see that out of the box. Not what you expect to see from Motorola.
Thanks

If you set up a picasa account you will be able to upload to a picasa album (menu --> settings --> accounts --> add account).
You can also google "nexus one gallery apk" and you should be able to easily find the apk for this app. You will need to either root your phone or use sideload wonder machine to install. Once installed it will show all of your albums in picasa.
I just found the answer to this. Look on the Market for an app called (not surprisingly) "Gallery" with the normal Froyo Gallery icon.
As soon as you install it it will ask to use your Picasa credentials to connect to Picasa and voila - you now have local and Picasa pictures in your 3D Gallery just like native Froyo.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, upload action worked but still no Picasa integration in photo gallery.
Wrote a complain to Motorola still waiting for respond.
Thanks

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cooliris.media&feature=search_result
uses the Cooliris skin that the Captivate had and works great to display Picasa galleries - just looked this up earlier because I wondered where my Picasa folders went on the gallery EVEN THOUGH the stupid Moto Blur account listings has my Picasa account sync'd! FOR WHAT if you're not going to display the folders in the gallery???
Are there any recommendations for an app to link with Picasa? It's the one feature I like about AOSP ROM's since I use Picasa for all of my photo storage. I've tried installing the Gallery 3D app from AOSP Gingerbread, but the app force closes on start. I'd love to have a way for my Picasa albums to integrate with the stock app, but can live with it if they dont. I've looked through the market at a few, but couldn't decide which the best option is. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, it is a question, but it's also application related and this seemed like the best section for it.

Thanks, I'll check that one out.
Picasa is built into your google + account. As long as your picasa and G+ account are the same you should be able to manage your picasa photos. This is how I have been doing it and its been pretty simple. You also have an album for pics taken on your phone that you can move around.

I did some searching and the only related threads I can see involve account & sign in issues which this is not. I'm not getting the error message telling me that I need to sign in. The problem I'm having is that when I attempt to upload an image to Picasa my albums are not listed where you would select an existing album to upload to. I also am unable to click the '+' symbol that allows you to create a new album to upload to. When I go into my Gallery to browse folders I can select Picasa from the drop down and all of my folders are there and my account is still sync'd in the accounts section of settings. So... it's seeing the account and the images already there no problem. The issue is with uploading specifically. I tried to un-sync and re-sync my Picasa account in settings as well as rebooting and various combinations and nothing seems to help. I'm running the stock ROM but the phone is rooted. I attempted to load the GB Gallery which is related but I don't think was the cause of this because I ran into it in the past on customer ROMs on other devices. I always just chalked it up to a bug in the ROM and never was able to solve it. Now that I'm on the stock ROM there really isn't much of an excuse for this.
Anyone have a fix or any advice for this? I use this a lot so I miss not having it when I just had it the other day.
Thanks for the help!
I've had this problem always with ICS. My main google account doesn't show the list of albums. Where my secondary one does show the coupld it has.. I have been unable to figure it out :/.
Why don't you just use auto upload in google+. It is basically doing what you want to do except it does it automatically. Auto upload creates a folder that only you can see in your picasa web albums, you can then either move the image to a public folder or just share the image via link. If you just want to share one picture you can do it via email or the google plus app as well.

I don't want to keep all of the pictures l take though. More importantly I don't see option to move the pictures to albums from the google plus app.

After further research it appears as though it's an Android bug. If you have another type of account sync'd it will confuse Picasa and you won't be able to see your folders or login/upload. For instance, say your Google account is the following email address:
[email protected]
and your DropBox account username is the same thing:
[email protected]
This will cause a conflict for some reason when it comes to Google being able to log you in and it will fail. For me I think it was my DropBox account which uses the same email as my Google account so it was causing issues. I tested this w/o having my DropBox account sync'd or even installed and w/o fail I can now access my Picasa folders and upload w/o issue.
Google needs to address this bug. That's all their is to it. This is a stupid error that shouldn't be too difficult to address and it's creating heartache for customers since most won't know why it's not working the way it just should be. It also seems that the last thing Google wants is people going back to their old email accounts for sign-in and notifications from various products. This is counter-productive for all their efforts to date.
FIX THIS GOOGLE!

That's not really the point. Android shouldn't be denying login to DropBox so that I as the consumer can use whatever services available to me that I wish to use.
I agree it's silly to have that kind of error with the same email.
I just found an app PicasaTool that lets me upload to my picasa account correctly. So for now I guess I will use that.

I'm just not comfortable giving 3rd parties my username and password so I will just change my Dropbox email and use the built in functionality with this as a workaround until such time that Google sees fit to address this bug.
Understandable. It doesn't ask for UN/PW by the way. It just uses the coin authentication thing.

I use PhotoSync by Akira soumi.
Simple app that syncs at a time I specify (8am) so that my dcim folder on phone, dcim on tablet and picasa are all three synced everyday

Several months further and on ICS (4.0.4) it wasn't fixed. JB is coming for my phone (SGSII) this month. Let's hope JB fixes this bug.
For now my solution is: changed the email of my dropbox and deleted facebook apps, doing everything on the mobile website now.
Is it only me or ...
With "Sync Google Photos" and Sync Picassa Web Albums" activated I still cant sync my camera pictures with google+....
And the only way to make it work is to install Google+ app but then you can see picture twice in Gallery ... (one under camera pictures and the other under Instant upload folder....)
Help would be really appreciated....
What I did so far :
reset phone settings,
wipe dalvik
tried to sync with another account
tried over wifi
Sync report ok.... I have no clue !!!!
Thats how mine is. I just delete the camera photos after they sync.
Google + just uses the instant upload to put them in your private web folder. Having the sync enabled allows the phone to download those photos from your web albums and allows you to manually upload when you want. I dont think its for auto uploading like google +

So basically you mean that there is no way to sync camera photos without using Google+ app ?
I thought I could with my previous Galaxy Note... I dont understand what the "Sync Google photo" is for then....

As far as I know, not automatically. You can always go to the gallery, hold the camera folder and sync the whole album manually to wherever you want.
the link is broken on the google support site, but it use to read this:
Android 4.0 devices have a system setting that allows you to Sync Google Photos.
This setting enables syncing of your Google Photos from your web albums to your device's Gallery app. As a result, if you have a large number of photos in your web albums that have been uploaded through Picasa Web Albums or Google+, you may notice a high amount of battery or data usage during this sync.
This setting also enables or disables sync for Instant Uploads to Google+. However, to enable Instant Upload, you must enable Sync Google Photos as well as enable Instant Upload within the Google+ app

I am having trouble with background data usage from the 'Gallery' app. I think it is related to videos uploading when I'm off of wifi. In settings / accounts / gmail - I had instant upload on, and then in G+ I had to sync photos and videos only when on wifi and only when charging, but it's still using network data to background sync... and I have droidwall installed and 'gallery' is not one of the apps I white listed for network data.
Any ideas? for now I turned off background data since it didn't seem to affect any regular use of the phone and it does block the gallery app. Seems like there are quite a few options in the gmail accounts as far as photos go so not sure what they all do or what I should bother with. I do know that on my SGS, SGS2 this background usage wasn't happening and I had things setup then like I do now.
I have my pictures loaded on Google Picasa. I can see the pictures in my Android Gallery app.
Id like to see my pictures also on my wife's gallery app. So far I havent been able to.
Ive tried adding my google account. Tried adding her to My Circles (Goggle++ thing) and having the albums shared to that group.
Anyone know if its possible?
Only way so far is to just give her a link to my pictures, in which she can then use the browser to see them. But sure beats the purpose of having them for offline viewing on her phone. BTW, from what I read, Gallery is going away for 5.0, and offline viewing of online pictures will be removed.
