I read that the gallery can show folders from your picasa web albums account. Anything special that I need to do to make this work? I have successfully uploaded pictures and it has all my login info stored. It just never shows me folders from my web albums.

in your settings> accounts & sync > choose your google account > make sure sync picasa web albums is checked.
thats all i did and it works perfectly!
hope this helps.
I looked there but for some reason mine doesn't have Picasa on that list. It only has Contacts, Gmail and Callendar. I only signed up for Picasa about a week ago, which was after I set up the account on my phone. Maybe it doesn't think I have Picasa so it doesn't display the option to sync it for me? Any idea how I can refresh it?

Ur not supposed to see Picasa in Accounts.....just make sure the Google or Gmail account associated with the Picasa u have pix in is your primary account u use to house your contacts or log in your Android phone...
I'm still having trouble with this. I have no option to sync with picasa. I see no settings anywhere on my phone or google account to enable this either.

Have you already set up the Picasa Web Albums part of it? You need to link Picasa to Web Albums first and then it should eventually show up in your account sync list.

Picasa is linked to my Web Albums. I can download, upload, sync etc between Picasa 3 and Picasa web albums (not that google has done a great job with syncing those two things either, but it works).
I just downloaded another album and uploaded another file between picasa3 and picasa web albums. Guess I'll wait a day or two and see if anything changes...
Everything else I've been reading is pointing to me having to do a hard reset. This issue is something Google needs to figure out.
where do i set this up?? on phone or on google .. i cant seem to find it ?? please help

I think you need to do that on google from the picasa website and link it with your google account.
Here is how I have it on my cappy...
If your google account linked to phone is the same as the one you use for picasa web albums then go to settings->accounts an sync..under manage accounts you should see the google account you have linked the phone to. Click on the account. You should see an options to sync the Picasa Web Albums. If it is not already checked, well you know what to do.
If you have books linked to this account that should show up, so should calendar, contact and of course gmail.
So if you are like me...who creates mutiple picasa/google accounts to upload pics, then under account and sync click the add account button, follow the prompts and in the end just check the "Sync Picasa Web Albums" leaving everything else unchecked. That way, I have only my primary gmail emails in my inbox and all the pics from all my accounts in the gallery.

That's the problem... the sync to picasa selection is not there for everyone. The problem seems to happen when people get their phones all set up, THEN create a picasa account and THEN try to link it.
I have NO option to sync picasa on my phone. I can, however, upload pictures to it from a file browser, etc... Just won't "Sync".

This isn't always the case.
In my case, the order is reversed. My Picasa account is several years old, and it is integrated with my Google account. I got my first Android (Samsung Intercept) last year. I have options to sync Docs, Contacts, Gmail and Calendar (and even Google Books if I install that app), but no option for syncing to Picasa web.
Interestingly, I acquired a LG Optimus V a couple weeks ago. There *is* an option to sync to Picasa, and it was turned on automatically. In addition, the Gallery app is completely different then the Gallery app on the Samsung Intercept.
I believe that most phones use an app called Gallery 3D, and that app is the only app which allows syncing with Picasa.
This forum has APKs to install Gallery 3D on your phone, and I did this months ago before uninstalling the app. However, none of the APKs work for me.
One thing to note, with google plus, you can set it up to automatically upload every pic you take to picasa

Does the Google Plus app upload photos to plus.google.com, or picasaweb.google.com ? From my understanding, these are different applications.

I just looked at some pictures I uploaded over the summer that way. It looks like its picasaweb.google.com
When I try to add Facebook under Accounts and Sync, it just loads to a white screen then returns back to the Accounts and Sync screen.
I've tried signing off of Facebook, then adding the account. It does ask for the password, then signs in. Then goes back to the Accounts and Sync screen not asking if I want to sync contacts.
Anyone else run into this?

Lol I'm not that dumb. Everything works on the phone. Browser, Facebook app etc. But when I want to add the account to Accounts and Sync so I can get it to sync pics, it just goes to blank screen then returns back to the Accounts and Sync screen.
Yes I know I can use SyncMyPix but I'd rather not.
Same problem on Motorola Milestone.
The Facebook app works, but there is no Facebook account in 'Accounts & Sync'.
Also in the Facebook app's settings, the setting to enable/disable syncing is missing.
This is with 'Facebook for Android' on the Market.
There is a long topic on this forum with a Facebook.apk that can be downloaded & installed manually. It is the Facebook.apk that has been copied from a Motorola Droid, where the app works as expected. The file size is 831431 bytes. However that app is unable to connect to Facebook. The reason is probably that it is an old app (the typic is from 2009 so it's over a year old) and Facebook's API has changed last year, 2010. In case the reader missed it: it's january 2011 while I'm writing this post.
A solution could be that someone with a working Facebook app uploads the file /system/apps/Facebook.apk to XDA. It's a free app from Facebook so it should be legal to do this.
So I'm trying to upload images to picasa, using photo gallery,setting,share,picasa. it skips the first screen (where you caption and do settings for the upload) and takes me to the "add a Google account" screen. Here I have 2 options. create account, and sign into existing. I try to sign in and it says
"account already exists. There is already a "[email protected]" account on this phone"
of course there is... I'm not trying to create an account. I'm trying to log in. So whats going on here? Has someone figured this out. seems redic, since these are both google applications.....

Make sure you have Picasa set up to sync.
From the home screen: Menu/Settings/Accounts & Sync
Tap on your gmail account. Make sure "Sync Picasa Web Albums" is checkmarked.
picasa isn't one of the things I can sync. just my email and facebook. then I tap on my email like you said and there is just options to sync contacts,gmail,and calendar...
do I have to download a picasa app?

You have a Nexus S right? That's really odd, it should be there and built in.
There is no official Picasa app, so that won't help.
Can you go to picasa web albums (on the pc) and log in WITH your gmail account you have set up on your phone and verify it's "linked"?
Other than that, my only suggestion now is two things:
1. Add someone else's Gmail account, and delete yours. Then re-add yours and verify that Picasa is a sync option, then delete the other gmail acount.
2. Factory Reset your phone and re-add your gmail account and see if Picasa is a sync option.
well. I can say this. I just installed picasa on my computer and created the web album just a few minutes ago... So do you think that my phone "doesn't know" its there?
might have figured it out. dont remember exactly. but I deleted a bunch of folders that the gallery looks at when I got the phone. cause I just wanted a pics and vids folder when I went to my gallery. maybe I deleted a picasa folder without realizing it. oh well. factory reset to find out for sure.....
thanks for the help nxt.
yeah. I had deleted my gallery folder in the gallery.... that caused the problem...

I feel your pain! My Nexus S doesn't see Picasa Web Albums as an option to sync either. I've been reading all around the web and no one seems to find the solution to this. I downloaded the Picasa app & I put in some folders through the phone. It loads. It's there.
Problem is.. When I go to Gallery and hit SHARE/PICASA.. it says to sign into a Google Account. This is so odd!
I was having the same problem and luckily found the solution.
-open the gallery and select the pic you want to upload
-then select share, picasa.
-here is where you are going to get the screen that says add a google account, select next.
-now you are going to get the option to create a new account or sign in if you already have one, here is the trick, press menu, browser sign-in, now you are going to get a welcome screen, select next.
-a browser opens up to log in. fill it out with your credentials and once log in accept whatever it says (i dont remember what it said lol).
-that's it now your phone will sync again adding picasa to your account
happy syncing
Thanks. But it works for one time only. Next time you try to share pictures to Picasa you have to do everything all over again.
edit: Factory reset helped.
Hi guys,
I've answered the issue in the subject below. PLEASE do not factory reset your phones.
A similar answer has been posted in Google help forums.
----------------------------------
The reason why your factory resets work and after that, you skip any other account information and key in only your google account first is simple.
The first time the picasa upload is invoked, it parses your accounts list for account information to use. If any other accounts are in there, for example, motoblur, htc sense... perhaps even facebook(which was the case in my situation), it won't work anymore.
Solution?
Dont need to factory reset.
1.) Go to your accounts list and remove ALL other types of accounts there and only leave your primary google account there. I also suggest killing all apps using task manager cept those you've ignored(like droidwall etc).
2.) Open gallery and attempt to upload a picture via picasa, you should now see that it's able to show in the drop down list, all your albums.
3.) After a successful upload, which will happen because of steps 1 and 2, go to your account information list and add back your other accounts(facebook, whatsapp and whatever else).
Now you've got picasa uploads working permanently. Youtube should also work automatically(although i never had a youtube problem because my youtube account used in the app is diff from my primary google account used on the phone and for picasa).
Hello. Thanks. I tried your method and it actually worked. However, when I re-added my other accounts, the problem re-occurred. I am currently using Picasa tool for pic uploads and the browser for youtube uploads. Any ideas on how to solve this. I works perfectly with my Galaxy S II.
Do you have more than one Google account to add?

it works! only problem is that once i install the account again the problem continues!
I am having this issue when Dropbox is in my "accounts" list.
I was experiencing the issue, removed all accounts but gmail and was able to send to picasa, added them all back after and again i was unable to.
I changed the email used for facebook to another different than the gmail one and i was able to upload to picasa again.
It seems the issue is with sync accounts sharing the same email/login as gmail.

I had the problem with dropbox. Couldn't upload things to Picasa.
Changed my dropbox email address login (which was the same as my google account email) and voila... everything works now as it should!
Thanks jsolares!
Same account name
Thx for this!
I removed endomodo account, which had same name (using google account) as account used for picasa upload and it works.
So basic advice is to remove/change name of all accounts which have same name as your google account.
Nowadays, facebook account in my xperia neo V with ISC is causing that problem. When I sync it with my FB account, im unable to upload pics to picasa. THAT sucks.
LinkedIn App is the problem
I have a Galaxy Nexus with 4.0.4
I removed all the account and repeated an upload after adding each account.
Right after adding LinkedIn account, the upload started to fail. Removed it and tried again, not surprisingly, it works.
Added twitter, added another google account, etc. No issues.
Ok, let's try again... then it fails. Again, remove the LinkedIn app, it works.
So the problem is the linked in account.
Thanks. it worked
actually it didnt, it stopped working after I added facebook and skype
Please google... Fix this fast!

Not true. As soon as you add your other accounts back the Picasa upload is broken once again. My research says it has to do with your other accounts having the same login credentials as your Google account. As a test, change your accounts in the sync section to an email address other than your Gmail account email address and you should be working properly. This is a band-aid fix however and it's something that Google needs to address as this should NOT be a conflict. Everyone complain to Google for an actual fix to this bug.

I use google photos and that works fine. I see where it says "cloud" in the menu of the gallery, but photos doesnt use that i guess.

You have to have them turned on separately. Picasa is Google. Go to settings and accounts then to Google. Click on the account email and make sure sync picasa webalbums is checked. Facebook you have to give galaxy access when you sign in and it prompts you then select sync gallery

I don't see a Picasa option under the Google account. The Google photos option doesn't bring down anything.
I did the Facebook permission thing when I first setup but still nothing.
You have this working on a Verizon note 5?
