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.
I did some searching and the only related threads I can see involve account & sign in issues which this is not. I'm not getting the error message telling me that I need to sign in. The problem I'm having is that when I attempt to upload an image to Picasa my albums are not listed where you would select an existing album to upload to. I also am unable to click the '+' symbol that allows you to create a new album to upload to. When I go into my Gallery to browse folders I can select Picasa from the drop down and all of my folders are there and my account is still sync'd in the accounts section of settings. So... it's seeing the account and the images already there no problem. The issue is with uploading specifically. I tried to un-sync and re-sync my Picasa account in settings as well as rebooting and various combinations and nothing seems to help. I'm running the stock ROM but the phone is rooted. I attempted to load the GB Gallery which is related but I don't think was the cause of this because I ran into it in the past on customer ROMs on other devices. I always just chalked it up to a bug in the ROM and never was able to solve it. Now that I'm on the stock ROM there really isn't much of an excuse for this.
Anyone have a fix or any advice for this? I use this a lot so I miss not having it when I just had it the other day.
Thanks for the help!
I've had this problem always with ICS. My main google account doesn't show the list of albums. Where my secondary one does show the coupld it has.. I have been unable to figure it out :/.
Why don't you just use auto upload in google+. It is basically doing what you want to do except it does it automatically. Auto upload creates a folder that only you can see in your picasa web albums, you can then either move the image to a public folder or just share the image via link. If you just want to share one picture you can do it via email or the google plus app as well.

I don't want to keep all of the pictures l take though. More importantly I don't see option to move the pictures to albums from the google plus app.

After further research it appears as though it's an Android bug. If you have another type of account sync'd it will confuse Picasa and you won't be able to see your folders or login/upload. For instance, say your Google account is the following email address:
[email protected]
and your DropBox account username is the same thing:
[email protected]
This will cause a conflict for some reason when it comes to Google being able to log you in and it will fail. For me I think it was my DropBox account which uses the same email as my Google account so it was causing issues. I tested this w/o having my DropBox account sync'd or even installed and w/o fail I can now access my Picasa folders and upload w/o issue.
Google needs to address this bug. That's all their is to it. This is a stupid error that shouldn't be too difficult to address and it's creating heartache for customers since most won't know why it's not working the way it just should be. It also seems that the last thing Google wants is people going back to their old email accounts for sign-in and notifications from various products. This is counter-productive for all their efforts to date.
FIX THIS GOOGLE!

That's not really the point. Android shouldn't be denying login to DropBox so that I as the consumer can use whatever services available to me that I wish to use.
I agree it's silly to have that kind of error with the same email.
I just found an app PicasaTool that lets me upload to my picasa account correctly. So for now I guess I will use that.

I'm just not comfortable giving 3rd parties my username and password so I will just change my Dropbox email and use the built in functionality with this as a workaround until such time that Google sees fit to address this bug.
Understandable. It doesn't ask for UN/PW by the way. It just uses the coin authentication thing.

I use PhotoSync by Akira soumi.
Simple app that syncs at a time I specify (8am) so that my dcim folder on phone, dcim on tablet and picasa are all three synced everyday

Several months further and on ICS (4.0.4) it wasn't fixed. JB is coming for my phone (SGSII) this month. Let's hope JB fixes this bug.
For now my solution is: changed the email of my dropbox and deleted facebook apps, doing everything on the mobile website now.
I don't feel like installing all these specific dedicated apps to manage my accounts on box, google drive, skydrive and sugarsync, so I was wondering since some users seem to have multiple accounts with these services, how do they manage them on their device? What apps would let us do something like that?

Try ES File explorer
or file expert
or astro
or many more
they all connect to multiple cloud storages and display them in 1 page
Try Xplore file manager. I use it on daily basis to manage cloud storage. It has support for all popular cloud storage services like Google drive, dropbox, box, skydive, sugarsync.

Hey guys,
I've got a Galaxy S3 running Android 4.1.1 (CheckROM 5.5) which I'm very happy with, however I don't think I'm using it to the full of its potential. This new Google app seems to think it can sync my life, however I don't know how to use it properly.
I'm a sales rep so I'm on the road a fair bit, booking appointments, writing down notes etc. I use gmail for my personal email, however my office uses Microsoft Outlook for emails.
At the moment, I've got a notebook, in which I write down appointments (I don't want to carry a heavy diary around, as well as my notebook, camera, laser, phone, wallet etc etc), take notes, have a to-do list etc etc.
I'm just wondering if there's a way to put in appointments, as well as write notes, on my phone which somehow sync real-time to my work and home computers, and vice versa.
Also, a to-do list would be nice.
Is there a way to do all of this to simplify my life and make me more efficient? I don't mind spending money on apps if that's what is required.
Any advice or recommendations are appreciated!!
Cheers
Google
Google calendar is on phone, so set up Google on pc and phone.
Ditto Google tasks
Ditto contacts
Google drive for documents. (You can get basic office editing site and viewer of play store.
All of these have lots of settings to play with for ie. Notifications, adding locations to appointments, so linking in with navigation + maps.
You just need to dive in and explore the potential

Thanks for the advice. What about notes?
And how do I install 'Google' on my work computer? Is there a widget for my desktop or can it be sync'd with Outlook or something?
Cheers
You are able to use dropbox also, and samsung has some usefull cloud storage capabilities for contacts and sms/mms.

just type in Google to search, then log in to your account, and there it all is, likewise, for the phone you can find all the Google apps in the play store, though most of them are built into the operating system already.......avoid using the Samsung cloud facilities in my opinion they eat battery, and you will be a slave to Samsung!

Also, Google tasks is their note taking facility, which can be synched with calendar as well

For outlook sync with Google you've got an app named outlook4gmail which is very convenient http://www.scand.com/products/outlook4gmail/
Check out evernote
Evernote is great for notes. We use it in my business for job reporting. from the PC we attach a job sheet and any information the staff need on the road or onsite, the guys can then enter product used, notes etc and we have an instant permanent record that is available from any device or PC linked to the account. Also add
Springpad is similar
Dropbox is also good for documents (google drive is ok, but you can't edit office documents) then use polaris office or similar to edit office documents.
Anydo is a good todo list, very easy to add things to do and check them off (keep notes with them too).
Yes to google calendar - i don't use outlook any more. run as many calendars as you want. they all sync to the same one.
Now the only problem is escaping work.
I currently have 2 dropbox accounts, 2 google drive accounts, a box cloud, and 2 sugarsync accounts. Right now Im using FolderSync to sycn all of them and it seems to be the only app that lets you sync so many different accounts. Are there anymore cloud sync apps out there that let you sync multiple accounts because FolderSync seems to be the only one.

Cloudfuze is not free, its a trial, and after that they charge $50/- a year. Check the reviews of the app.
ZeroPC has a free plan ( 39 GB ) PrimaDesk does too, although they only offer 1 GB / 10 accounts. It looks like iSpaces is another one to check out, but I'm a little hesitant to sign up for something that doesn't give much information.
