Picasa sharing does not work
 

I have a new N900 with the latest firmware/Maemo 5 version and the sharing of photos using the Picasa option does not work.

the N900 goes through the motions and that share indicator shows up in the top cluster next to the battery level, then it goes away and the photos do not show up on Picasa.

The account was "verified" so I am assuming that there is some kind of communication with occurring with Picasa, it is just that the main aspect of sharing, the actual photo uploading does not happen.

Can anyone offer some advice on how to get this to work?

Do you see a folder named "Drop Box" in your picasa album? All my Picasa uploads via n900 goes into that album.

+1 (just tested it now, just in case)

ohhh .. there they are .. had the same problem .. thanks hwong_pz

Re: Picasa sharing does not work
 

...no, I was aware of the drop box since I sometimes just do quick upload from Picasa desktop.

There is no drop box or photos in the authenticated Picasa album. I tried Petrovich too and still nothing, although I think it would use the same resource as the photo album so that does not mean much.

It is a bug of some sort...I can upload photos to one of my accounts and they end up in the Drop box, but not to the other account that I actually want to use...

The account that works is an @gmail.com while the one that does not work is @ourdomain.com hosted by Google.

Frustrating.

You should try Pixelpipe. I'm using it to upload pictures to two different Picasa accounts and videos to youtube. Never had a problem with it.

ioan, yes...I'd like to try it but where can I download it?

I already set up the pipes, but there is no pixelpipe app/plugin in the Apps manager - and that is where it apparently lives according to the Pixelpipe instructions.

Yes, where do we download this because I have having the same problem

gmail account works fine for me

I had the same problem. I had Username field in sharing plugin configuration set to username @ ourdomain.com. It didn't work. I have changed it to username from the Picasa public gallery URL: http://picasaweb.google.com/username. Now it works.

...could be a time for a bug report. I will try to do it, but feel free to do it before me :-)

This solved my problem - thank you very much!

It's probably a bug that it doesn't work with username@domain, but it's at least usable with this workaround :)

Hi,
The picasa share plug-in seems to be broken. For me, when the internet connexion is done via Wifi, the upload doesn't work at all, it complains that there is no connexion !.
When i'm connected via a 3G connection, it works, the image seems to be uploaded, but when it reach 100%, an error occurs.

As the previous posts are from pre PR1.2, does anyone use it this plug-in successfully with the 1.2 update ?

Thanks

Note : I'm connected in 3G via a french carrier (SFR).

One option to upload to specific albums is available in the MaStory application in Extras. MaStory will allow you to choose what album you want a picture or set of pictures to go to.

I find this very convenient in some cases where I don't want to go back to the DropBox and move the pictures to the correct albums.

Its not as fast as 'Sharing' but gets the job done.

My N900 is not able to upload any pictures to Picasa anymore. Is the plugin outdated, anyone able to upload anything to Picasa?
