Backup pics to Picasa faster - Vibrant General

I found the app Picasa Tool in the market. You can bulk upload pictures to Picasa web albums from your phone way easier than the normal gallery. Also can try one called PicPush, its supposed to upload the pic to your Dropbox automatically after a picture is taken. Its not always right away, but it will upload them.

Thank you for the information, I ll remember that.

picasa pics availalbe Offline even though Offline is not chosen

I have none of my picasa Albums selected of "view offline" however if I turn wireless off. I can still view the pictures. I plan to upload alot of pics to Picasa and don't want to fill my nexus up. I also noticed that my nexus 7 became laggy after I started putting pictures up on Picasa. I just want to make sure that it is copying all my pics down to the nexus.
Have you found an answer to this yet? I also have been trying to figure out the same thing. I thought at first it was just the thumbnails but once I view an album the pictures seem to remain cached despite my offline setting.
Isn't this to do with G+ instant upload???? Go to accounts in settings Google, then look at what syncs turn off Google pictures and instant upload and anything else that resembles g+ go to apps All scroll to gallery clear data and reboot and they'll be gone

Yes, from what I've gathered it is the G+ instant and Google Pictures sync that adds the "picassa" albums to the gallery. I actually wanted my picasa albums in my gallery, however as I have over 100 albums I wanted them visible and accessible when online (to save space). I only want to chose a few select albums (kids, work stuff, etc) to make "available offline" but so far it appears as soon as I view an album it saves the full images in cache and still shows up when I'm offline, I don't want my storage getting eaten up by pictures that I only plan to view when online.

Nexus 4 Instant Upload issue

Hi! I have an annoying issue with google instant upload. If I go to my gallery and settings and I go to the synced accounts , it is selected in the google account , the google photos and instant upload are selected. Now , for whatever reason in the gallery I have the Camera folder and two instant upload folders.... one of them is the normal one with all the photos and one is empty. That one dissapears only when I go to picasa web albums and delete de empty album but that doesn;t work because everytime I take a new photo that empty album appears again and it has as name the date I took the picture. Can someone please help me to fix this and only appear a single instant upload folder?
PS I already tried this: I disable instant upload and only let google photos but then it won't upload the pics anymore; If i disable google photos and let only instant upload it happens exactly the same
It has been assumed that this is a bug on Google's side with the transition away from Picasa to G+. There is only one way I know to get rid of it and that is to delete both folders and then turn photo sharing off. Instant upload will still work, but the albums will no longer keep appearing in Gallery.

[Q] G+ or Google Drive for photo sharing and backup?

Which is the best option if you want to use it for sharing and backing up photos? When I'm out and about taking pictures and I want to share with someone, the pics are either to big for texting or there is to many to send. So I usually upload to dropbox and send a link to either just view or to download. The problem is I only have 2G with dropbox and would like to use something else to backup almost ALL my pics(about 12G of them). Is it better to upload them to G+ or Google drive? I know that pics in google drive can be seen in G+, but you don't see the pics in G+ on your Google drive directories. Also, I plan on using the app to view the pics on my phone like the native gallery. Any advice or better options?
Thanks in advance!
I use the google photos app on my phone and have it set to auto backup. So when I take a picture(s) it backs up the most recent ones when I am on wifi.I think the google photos are sync'd with your google drive but I'm not 100% sure and can't look on my computer at work. I also increased my google drive size to 1TB for $9.99/month, they also have 100GB for $1.99/month. Not sure if this helps or makes it more complicated as I am limited to what I can see on google at work.

Camera orientation incorrect Camera 2.9.43

This morning I take a zillion photos and they upload to Google photos automatically. I go to my Mac, download the photos from Google photos and all so far is well. I go to Gmail to send the photos to family and things go sideways (literally). Once I attach the photos to my email they attach sideways. I tried the same thing by attaching the photos from the phone gallery in the email app on the phone and same issue.
If I do the same with my iPhone no issue.
Any resolution for this?
It's the portrait pictures that do not have the correct orientation once you attach to Gmail for example.
