I am starting to wonder whether this is actually possible.
On both my Nexus One and Nexus S, the Gallery app syncs flawlessly with PicasaWeb pics.
I tried a bunch of tricks (upload a pic to picasa from Pro, create fake album, restore defaults and now even GB update), but nothing worked. I can't get to see picasaweb sync option under my account.
Is this working for you?

Hi
I used to be able to sync my pics to Picasa in the gallery and view my Picasa pics with cm mod on my HTC magic. Is there a way I can do this on the DHD? I know you can sync Flickr but I don't use it.
Thanks,
Steve

same here, i use the picsa with the stock rom that come with my nexus, thats work like
cream with the stock gallery, and now i can't, so i use the Picasa in the browser...
It does seem weird that Picasa, a Google product, isn't supported, but Flickr is.
I use Pixelpipe to sync my photos to Picasa.
I was getting the same issue. It appears to be a problem with 2.2, not the handset.
The only way I found of getting around this was to do a hard reset (Settings> SD & Phone Storage > Factory data reset) and skip the Google sign in, then once I was passed all the set up data entry open Market and log in to Google form there.
Since then I can upload to my picasa account no problems.
a hard reset does not erase data on the SD card but it does on the phone so it might be an idea to back up your Apps to first.
i have attacked the Gallery 3d apk which when installed will allow syncing with picasa on desire hd

I tried that before doing the factory reset but it didn't work.
sorry to hear that not sure why it doesn't word on your phone when it works on mine. I have included a screen shot of my google account on my Desire HD after installing the app showing the picasa sync option.

No, I got it working but I had to to doa factory reset and skip signing in to Google in the set up screens. I had the 3d gallery installed before this and I tried it but didn't work. Only reset and signing in to Google via Market got Picasa working for me.
Annoying how random all this can be...

Just thought that id mention that this is avilable in the market, there is also another good app called picasa tool pro (its free).
Gallery3d is simpler to use though.
I was missing Picasa Webalbums sync and icon in the Gallery HTC Desire HD. Synchronization of my gallery and Picasa did not occur.
This was the solution for me :
Go to the app HTC Hub (if not there, add HTC Sense to your Accounts and Synchronization). Then, go to Apps and Plugins. De-select the "Picasa Webalbums" plugin. Reboot. Go back to HTC Hub app and enable the plugin.
Solved.
Hello! I put the cyanogen rom a few days ago. I really don't like the contacts management....the list is ok, but the sync of the photos just doesn't work. Only some contacts are being sync-ed with facebook showing the right photos.
And the problem is that if I use a contact widget (for example photo contact widget or animated contact widget), the contacts won't have the facebook photo....but if I go in the contact list, those contacts correctly display the facebook photo, although of course if I go into the contact description, the contact itself has no photo, but it has only the '[email protected]' of facebook, synced to it.
Is there a way to make a proper sync? I don't want to use a photo for every contact...it would be just so easy to have everything working again like it was with HTC sense (everything automatic and synced).
Is that because the HTC facebook for sense is missing with cyanogen?
And also, do you have another ROM to advice? I am not sure i really prefer this cyanogen to the stock htc sense one....
i have the same problem with Cyanogen roms... is there a solution for this?
i have no idea...the way cyanogen manages the contacts looks really not that good...htc sense was way better.
anyway, the really weird thing is that now, among my contacts, everyone has the facebook photo but 3. 3 contacts seem they cannot sync the photo from facebook...i did it 3 times, i also reset the sync with facebook and then synced again....those 3 contacts just don't sync. i checked the names: 100% correct.
it is a bit annoying...sure not so important, but it is anyway annoying.

If the picture doesn't sync, try going to the facebook app and going to the person's facebook page. When the picture loads there, I noticed it also loads in my contact list.
As far as know, Facebook for HTC sense lets you sync contact photos, and remembers the link (in the comments). Facebook app only sync contacts that have their number shared in their profile, and you cannot manually create a link.
Cyanogen and Htc sense don't go together, so unfortunately you wouldn't be able to sync it the way you did with htc sense.

It will sync automatic as long as the name is the same. Thats why some are done and some are not.
Also if you edit a contact and then press menu then join if the name is similar it will show there facebook profile and you can join them.

I had a similar issue, and it seemed the problem was certain contacts who I'd previously (before I had the phone) assigned contact photos in Google Contacts. They were correctly linked to their Facebook accounts, but still showed the other photo. Solved it for each one by selecting 'edit contact' then scrolling right down to the end where it shows their facebook details, tap the photo there and select 'use this photo.' If the photo doesn't even show up in the 'edit' dialogue then I don't know.

Would you mind amending your original thread subject to reflect the fact this is about Facebook please? Many thanks in advance.

So I was checking out the different cloud services and rolled up on Picasa and how it is Google and was integrated into Android since ver 2.1 and I am rocking Fusion 1.1.5 and noticed that Flikr was in the accounts and sync but not Picasa...Flickr is ehhhh cause you can only upload 350mb a month....so is there a way to get our phones synched up with Picasa??
This would be sweet, but I don't think it's doable yet. Not even an official Picasa app yet AFAIK.
Make a picasa account online with your Google Account and it syncs with your phone.

I did this, but for some reason the phone refused to use my Google Apps account for Picasa. Might have just been a ROM bug (see my sig -- need to update it...lol). It kept attempting to get me to add a new Google account. Maybe I'll futz with it more this weekend after updating my ROM.
Try doing it from a computer

I did...Re-read my last post. After I created an account just trying to setup sync the phone won't let me.
Download the Picasa app onto your PC/Mac, there might be additional steps after setting up an account, if I recall. Then Gallery 3D and HTC Sense's Gallery app should be able to use Picasa. Only Gallery 3D supports uploading, as far as I know though.
Every time I take a picture with my phone. It's instantly synced with all my android devices. I disabled picture syncing and it still uploads it to a folder. It shows under a folder called "auto backup" with the picasa logo. Also I can't figure out how to delete the pictures from that folder. This is soooo annoying.
Are you talking about Google+'s instant upload? I know there are options to sync photos under your Google account settings. I can't remember if instant upload is there as well. Try opening G+ and look in settings.

Go to your accounts on settings. And then hit whichever email account it is. Then uncheck sync picassa.

hi there.
two days ago i got my new s5. i like it and all but all the image storing and online storage is a little much at first. but since my previous phone was stolen and i lost a couple of hundred of fond memories (pictures) i was determined to store them online this time. i set up a dropbox account that seems to come with the phone and i used picasa or whatever google drive calls my online gallery (never used this before).
it's neat and i figured out how to hide online pictures so it serves as a backup.
NOW TO MY PROBLEM:
since everything is new to me here (had sgs2 before) i played around in the gallery that is now largely different. i seem to have set something to the wrong setting because now it doesn't show ANY PICTURES anymore. not from any folder/album. from one second to the other everything was gone (from the gallery). the pictures are all there, though. i can access them with any other app (es file explorer, google pictures, camera, etc.) but i want my gallery back. it says "no items - after you take, record or upload pictures or videos to dropbox, items will be shown in gallery"
this leads me to suspect that i might have switched my gallery to displaying the contents of my EMPTY dropbox account. i don't want this but i am unable to change it back. besides i have an app for dropbox stuffs so why is this feature even integrated?
settings shows me the following:
accounts:
[g] my gmail account
SNS DATA CONTROL:
sync via wifi only [v]
CLOUD SYNC
dropbox sync
tap to sync content
FILTER
filter by
TAGS
tag buddy
off
face tag [_]
above i can only access "Add Account" which brings me to a menu displaying all my accounts (or some): samsung, google, dropbox, facebook
PLEASE HELP ME!
i did not find any help searching because there seems to be a similar problem with people's media storage malfunctioning. i don't believe that is my problem but i tried resetting the media storage anyways. i am sure it is something that i did to hide my pictures. how do i get them back? i don't plan on using a different gallery app but maybe it is the only solution?
regards

EDIT:

i actually just installed quickpic and it shows all my pictures which proves to me even further that nothing is wrong with the pictures but just that my gallery is screwed up. how do i unscrew it?
