[Q] Account Synching Google Picasa

I have a question about account synching in particular with Google Picasa
When I go into the gallery on my phone I have all the pictures I have up on Picasa. I delete all these photos. Under Accounts and Synch I have the background data turned off and thus the auto-sync is not turned on. I have various accounts set up gmail, facebook etc. When I go online and try to go into the App Market it states I need to turn the background data turned on. This then seems to synch the accounts and the pictures I deleted are back in my gallery which I do not want. If its something else that is making the pictures uploading other than this I would like to know in order to stop it. I am running litening Rom 6.
Is there a way to stop the pictures from uploading and is there a way of viewing the market without having to turn the background data on.
Thanks

Under Android sync, what's the difference between Google Photos and Picasa Web Albums

I upload photo's from my computer to Picasa Web using Picasa, where they are stored in my Google Plus space.
Under my account sync settings in Android, along with Gmail and Contacts and all that, I've got "Sync Google Photos" and "Sync Picasa Web Albums".
What's the difference between these two choices?
I was wondering the same thing too.

I believe this quote/link should help half of your question.
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.

In Picasa you can upload photos at the original size, with Google+ it will resize & compress it whether you want it or not. Not what I want

[Q] ICS album fail to share photo to picasa

[Q] Hangouts syncing photos

Ok, i have this small problem/question.
The new Hangouts app automatically saves photos sent in private conversations in private folders, and i am fine with that.
So i went to my Google+ account, erased these photos but i still see an emtpy folder (the conversation folder which contained the photos) in my Nexus 4 Gallery. However, no such folder is anymore present in my Google+ account when checking it from my pc.
Am i missing something obvious here? I mean after a couple of different conversations, even if i erase the photos i will have a gallery full of empty folders. Any ideas?
Hi Panooos,
Try the following.
Login to picasa web albums and delete the empty albums and then select Refresh.
This worked for me.

sync photos to different google accounts?

Hi there,
It it possible to sync different photos to different google accounts? For example, for some of my photos, when I take them, I'd like them to back up to my personal google account. Some photos are for work, and I would let them to sync to my work google account. Some photos are for a side business, and I would like those photos to go to that business account.
I was thinking maybe making multiple users on my phone? That seems excessive.
Alternatively, is there a way to have pictures sync directly into a google photos album, and if so, is there an easy way to switch the sync album on the fly? If so, I could just use a single google account and have a "personal" album, a "work" album, and a "side business" album.
