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.
Hello all,
I am currently storing all of my photos in a folder named "Photos" in Google Drive. I would like to know if there is a way to bring up those photos in the Gallery app on my Thrive? Also when I upload new photos I would like them to show up in there as well.
It is annoying to view the photos in the google drive app since you can't view all the thumbnails largely all at once and browse quickly.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
I'd like to know this as well.
*bump* I'd love to know this
My auto backup is turned on for Google Photos. Any pictures I take on my phone automatically get uploaded to my Google Photos online. If I go through my Gallery app (not my Photos app) and delete pics, will they also be deleted from my Google Photos online next time I sync?

Funny how no one has addressed this yet. People are fooled by the numerous videos on Youtube on how to remove the photos. But all those videos show the exact same instructions which only remove the photos from syncing to that device. It does not delete them. Once you buy a new phone, those photos will show up again.
I would like to know where they are coming from..
I have my pictures loaded on Google Picasa. I can see the pictures in my Android Gallery app.
Id like to see my pictures also on my wife's gallery app. So far I havent been able to.
Ive tried adding my google account. Tried adding her to My Circles (Goggle++ thing) and having the albums shared to that group.
Anyone know if its possible?
Only way so far is to just give her a link to my pictures, in which she can then use the browser to see them. But sure beats the purpose of having them for offline viewing on her phone. BTW, from what I read, Gallery is going away for 5.0, and offline viewing of online pictures will be removed.
When I take a picture on my phone I want it to be transferred to my computer or to google drive or to some cloud. I used to use MightySMS and it would do this (but only stored the pictures for a limited amount of time). I use airdroid now but find it some times fails to connect and it doesn't automatically transfer pictures. Any suggestions?
I like to transfer pics to my computer over Google drive so I use syncme wireless. Seems to work good.

Dropbox app do this automatically.
you don't have google photos? it's a system app originally installed on xperias and it has a function to save all your photos to your google photos profile. I use google photos to store my pictures and it's really working good
PlayMemories Online is a good choice for constant backup as its integrated in the Album app and as you have an xperia device you will have almost unlimited storage space ( it counts the GB used in MB somehow )

Just to make sure, the default setting is not to share the uploaded photos, right?

it doesn't share the photos automatically, but you can share them if you want. it stores them in your own private google photos account
the 'photos' app linked to gplus compresses images after a certain amount of GB has been used, I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't care about photo quality

I've been using Photos app and have selected to keep photos the original size/quality. The trade off is they now count towards space in Google Drive (or some google product) where as allowing compression then counts as 0 space used. I noticed Sony has a cloud service that allows for unlimited storage of uncompressed hq photos, maybe I'll give it a try.
