I know i can upload pics from my phone to my Picasa web album.
What im trying to do is send an invitation to a friend to look at the pictures i just uploaded.
when i use the Picasa application on my PC, i click on share by email and it automatically sends an invite to the contact i chose and they just click the link they receive and it takes them directly to the album.
Is there a way i can do that using the phone?
As far as I can tell, you have to use the browser and login to http://picasaweb.google.com/
It's pretty mobile-friendly, but it'd be nice if google officially brought picasa to android.
thanks for the reply
yeah it would be nice to have a picasa app

Hi all out there,
I've got a question which I think I know the answer to, but hoping there is a way round it.
The contacts I have on my phone are linked to facebook profiles which show the picture. This picture does not seem to sync to Google so when I view the contacts on Google, they have no image.
Back in the days of Windows Mobile and Touch Flo, the pictures from facebook used to actually sync with the contacts and transfer.
Anyone got any ideas how to achieve this?
Nobody any idea's on this one? Is anyone who is syncing their contacts and also linking them to facebook having the contact pictures synced back to Google?
Sorry, I just use Google Contacts as middle ware between my Mac running Spanning Sync and my Hero.
If its any help, the contact pics on the Hero from FaceBook don't make it through to my Mac.
Would be nice.
No, this is not gonna happen as yet. The Hero simply seems to link a reference number with the contact so that it knows what Facebook profile goes with what contact.
It's this that gets saved in Googlemail's contact list. No images are transferred as yet.
Maybe in a future update, but for now a definite no i'm afraid.

Cool, thanks for the reply, its what I thought, but its a shame
Cheers guys
I have a T-Mobile G2 Touch that is rooted and have had the same problem. Am I right in saying that the link between each contact in your phonebook and the facebook profile is saved to your google contacts but not the picture. I ask this as I have just wiped my phone and synced my contacts and no facebook links are showing, and as I have 80+ contacts this is going to be quite annoying each time I want to wipe my phone.
In other news I have just discovered an app which syncs the facebook profile picture to your google contacts. However the contact has to have the same name as on the facebook profile which is a bit formal for me.

EDIT: Somehow my phone has managed to sync all my contacts with there correct facebook link and the pictures from the facebook profiles are showing as well.
On that note, I was just going to share this...
http://heartofangel.com/google-contact-sync-1-0/
Just to let you know, just got to grips with this program, its great, only for PC users though it seems...
Lets you link your google contacts with facebook (seems to be either stored on google or facebook, which is good)
Lets you upload the current photo on facebook to the google contacts and stores it
Works brilliant, well chuffed! And the facebook link transfers to the hero so it gets the up to date details too
Ok I am using HTC HD2. It comes with facebook application which I believe is very good to work with. Gives much better sharp screen than using browser to log into facebook. My only wish is that the facebook app shows thumbnails of the photo albums. When you enter into the photo album it shows full size images one at a time and we cannot select which picture we want to see. Can someone please help if it is possible to have picture thumbnails on Facebook App ( Facebook for windows mobile) .Please help.
You maybe in luck my friend. There is a facebook app in beta at the mo it's called xda facebook and Joe the maker says he is working on how photos should be viewed at the mo. So give it a go for a start it's a hell of a lot better then the windows app already so you can't loose. Just search for it on this site.
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

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???
If this thread is in a wrong location, I apologize.
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.
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.
Picassa tool works very well and it's free

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.
