More a comment than a question maybe, but I dont know if its just me but when I try to upload a pic to picasa on stock HC 3.2 it gives a Failed Service error.
On the other hand if anyone else is having this issue, the Perfect Tool for Picasa app seems to do wonders to replace this function, plus you can view and manage your picasa web albums right from the app.

Hi
I am on JF 1.5.
I was wondering if it was possible to view uploaded albums on Picasa (Google Photo storage system) as i can upload them?
Any ideas most appreciated
Thanks
You can streamline updating by installing Picasa Uploader in the Market...It's free and written by Google.
As far as browsing online, my browser automagically takes me to an Android-optimized page at picasaweb.google.com/m/
If your browser doesn't do it automatically, try that address.

Don't bother with the Picasa app on the market....It will download, but not install. 1.5 has upload to Picasa built in when you press "share" on a photo.
To view, try the url that ohnoezmahfone posted.
My picasa albums are syncing to the gallery app but when I try to upload new pics it says account information can not be retrieved. I went into settings and checked and there isn't a specific picasa login, only the Google one. I suspect this is the problem. Has anyone found a way to upload to their picasa album from the native gallery app?
I think this is a problem with HoneyComb. I have tried other apps from Market, like QuickPic and Picasa Tool and they all exhibit the SAME problem like the Asus's Gallery app: uploading to Picas ALWAYS FAIL. The upload box is also the same throughout these applications, so I am sure any apps that have the ability to upload to Picas uses the same function call from HoneyComb.
I am seeing more and more issues with HoneyComb... boy, Google really was rushing the table OS badly.

What's the diatribe?
As a test after finding this thread, I clicked a pic I took with my TF, tapped the share icon, and it uploaded instantly to Picasa.
Picasa uploads work just fine!
Google took their time and made it right in this case. Speaking of case... case closed.

Can you try this: upload a pic residing in SD card?

Uploading to my Picasa album works from both internal memory and from my Lexar 32gb microsd, in case it's of any use I use the Prime! v1.4 rom and netformer kernel combination.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
I have the same problem and just gave up on this. It's definitely a bug, it looks like the Picasa Uploader (that can be used by other apps besides the gallery) fails to retrieve my account data. For instance, I cannot see the list of my web albums in the dedicated dropdown menu.
It looks like it only happens to some people here, but it's frustrating.
Also, on my Froyo based phone, Picasa uploading just works fine, and the Uploader does list my albums correctly.

Works just fine. I have no idea what you are doing wrong.
Simply put, I'm in gallery, tap pic, tap share, tap picassa. Select album, upload. (inserted an old sd card and used a pic that was still on it)
Stock US 3.1 here (US should be a given on a .com site )

I tried mine with stock 3.1 rooted, and have problem. Tried with Prime 1.5, have problem. The error I got is "Failed to authenticate". However, all my other app, like mail, gReader (RSS reader app) works fine. Also, the Gallery app CAN connect to my Picasa account and DOWNLOAD pictures FROM my account. It's just the upload that failed.
Maybe its the rooting? If Google CAN PREVENT rooted devices from renting movies from he Android Market, maybe they're doing the same thing for Picasa.
Same problem exists for me on 3.1
Hi there,
I'v updated to 3.1 and the same problem still exists for me. No difference, weather the pic is on the internal memory, or the pluged in SD card. Can't upload pictures to picassa!
Any further suggestions?
I had a similar problem with google docs
I tried numerous times yesterday and was not able to upload a document to Google docs using Polaris office. The message I received was unable to find the share. I tried this morning and it worked. Weirdness.
Upgraded to HC 3.2.1. No complaints. Like the new Supernote app. Just wondering why it and all the other note apps in the market have an upload option to dropbox, google docs, sugarsync, etc, but when you try to upload it says that feature is not working yet (or something similar). I've tried all of the tablet note apps and they all give you the same message, uploading ability, but won't work yet. Supernotes is the same way. What's up with this? Must be something in Android that isn't yet available. All the developers have put the feature in their app, but waiting on the technology to catch up to implement. Frustrating cause I love the Supernote app, but really need to upload to take advantage of cloud storage. My workaround is to use QuickOffice HD which handles uploads to Dropbox, Sugarsync, and Google Docs. Works great, but is more for documents and not notes.
That's strange.
I've never had a problem with any of the note taking apps saving to dropbox.
I just did a supernote test and a paint note and a regular note uploaded to drop box just fine.
might be a dumb quest but do you have qdocs app on your tab? Others have had this prob but also did not know you needed to have the app on the tab for the upload to work.
Are you referring to Google docs?
I don't know what qdocs is....I don't have that loaded on the TF.
No problems sending Supernotes to Dropbox here. Sends it as a JPG. Sends to Google Docs just fine too.
Would be nice to have background web sync of supernotes, but the Android based Sharing is great for the moment.
This app is a real product differentiator... I hope Asus have some more planned.

I think what he means is, do you have the apps for evernote, dropbox etc installed on the tablet, as the share to function wont work unless you have the apps for the options installed.
Regarding Supernotes: I tested again. What I find is you can upload a .jpg file but not a text file. It says that the text upload feature is not available yet. Such as, save the note as a .docx file and try to upload. It will not work. So, if you got text document files to upload, then what am I doing wrong??
I need text file upload for work stuff. .jpg does me no good in sharing work file notes between computers. I use the TF to take notes in many work related meetings. The text format is most needed for mobility.
Yes, I have Dropbox, Sugarsync, Google Docs, etc. loaded on my TF. I have yet to find any note app that will upload a text based note to any of these formats. Am I missing something? Also, what is "qdocs"? I can't find that app on the market.
Thanks.
sorry for the confusion...yes i meant Google docs
I can upload as text file tho on mine....Google docs.
EDIT..my bad that was a doc I only used keyboard on in supernote and it was evernote which it uploaded as a txt to.
Thanks for clarifying.
I only use drop box... no google docs.
I dont know what gives. Up until ICS, picasa uploads have been fine. After jellybean my pictures that are ~1.3mb are now compressed to ~340kb. Anyone have a solution? I dont see any settings for this. I have tried both wifi and 3g connections. No difference. My google+ instant upload is disabled.
Hi all
I discovered this morning that when viewing album / photos through the stock gallery, under the "Share" menu, Picasa simply disappeared.
So, I can not send pictures to Picasa anymore.
Is this a known issue ?

I haven't done that for a long time, so I can't even tell if this function has been removed in 4.4 or 4.4.1 kitkat. The option to share to "photos" from the stock gallery is definitely not working, as nothing would happen when you select that option.
In the past I used an app called Picasa tools (an free app) to share photos to specific picasa folder.

Thanks for your proposal
Anyway, I am nearly sure this option was there in 4.4 and vanished with 4.4.1... Too bad it was sooo convenient to be able to directly upload to the appropriate folder...
