Sync Gallery with Picasa - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi!
I bought a new S7 Edge and I got a problem.
In my note 4 Settings->Account->Google there is an option to sync with picasa but in this phone I got a lot of options but not that one and I cannot reach my albums from the default gallery, to access my old pictures I got to use google photo whitch is the worse gallery app I found.
Does anyone know how to enable the sync option?
thank you very mych

Picasa is no more. Google Photos has replaced it. See here for details: https://picasa.google.com/

I use an app from the play store called "tool for Google photos and Picasa. It works a treat for viewing my Picasa web albums.

[How to] set gallery to show photo only from phone

Just got this phone. Would like to seek advice from experienced members here.
How do I set the gallery to show only photos from phone by default? By default the setting is all, which includes picassa and Dropbox, which makes opening gallery rather slow as it loads photos from there. Every time I have to set it to view photo from phone only.
Can it be done? Using stock stock rom but rooted.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the main reason i want to do this is because it takes a minute or so to load my photos due to the fact it is searching for photos on my picassa account.
however, i found a way to disable that.
settings->google (under "accounts")->[your email, under "accounts"]->untick "sync picasa web albums"
done! i also unticked sync chrome, currents, google+, instant upload, internet... i left contacts, gmail and calander as i use them.
thanks everyone for trying to help me. i really appreciate that

How the heck do you stop google from instantly syncing your photos?

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.

[Q] Can't Restore/View Google+ photos in Gallery App

Hi All,
I'm a newbie but a long-time follower of this site, so please excuse me of any ignorance. I tried searching for my issue but didn't find anything relevant, hence posting here.
I have ATT Stock Samsung Galaxy S4. I have one primary google account(A) which takes care of apps downloading, gmail etc. I also added another google account(B) mainly to manage my Photos. So, whenever I take new photos, I have instant upload/auto-backup for this account B. My sd card just crashed couple of days and I have formatted it and it's all good to go now.
Now, I am looking for ways to see all my google+ photos of Account B in my Gallery app since auto-sync is turned on. While it shows up everything in Google+ photos app, I would prefer to see everything in Gallery app. I tried changing "Content to Display" in Gallery settings to show Picasa as well Device photos, but it keeps showing account A's picasa web albums and not account B.
I am really tired of looking everywhere, so I'm hoping one of you could patiently help me.
Thanks!

[Q] Share Via Google Maps is Missing

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Verizon (model SM-G900V), when I take photos, panoramas, or photosphere's and attempt to share them by clicking the 'share via' button (in the photo gallery) there is no option to share via google maps. On the google maps views website this is the described procedure for uploading photospheres. I am told by samsung help department that "The option is not provided on Samsung android OS. You only have the option to share it to Google+ directly."
I am able to take a photosphere using the google camera app and using the samsung surround shot camera mode. I can upload photospheres to google+ and add them to google maps views using a web browser manually. Photospheres that are automatically uploaded to google+ are not viewable using google+ app on my mobile device (but they are viewable using a browser) until I manually submit them to google map views for approval.
Whats the deal here? why so much incompatibility? is there any way I can hack my way through this problem?

Issues with Hangouts sending pictures selected from Google Photos

Hey everyone,
Ran into a small problem with my Edge+. I primarily use Hangouts for all of messaging, text and otherwise, but have been having an issue with Hangouts having access to all of my photos in Google Photos.
Let me go into detail as much detail as I possibly can.
. In my Google Photos app I can view all of my pictures that have been uploaded over the years across all my Android devices.
. When I go into Google Hangouts and select to send a picture message, I get the option to select Google Photos, the stock gallery app, and a few others.
. Selecting the Google Photos option only yields the pictures I took LOCALLY(recently on the device) and not all the photos that are available in the cloud.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? I know that I've been able to select from ALL of my pictures on my Nexus devices when using Hangouts. Maybe that's the issue. Can someone test on their device and confirm that this isn't just my issue?
