Hello! I am using OneDrive as my cloud backup for photos. I was using the Android OneDrive app to auto-upload the "Camera" folder from my phone to OneDrive, until today, when the app was updated. Now, after the update, the OneDrive app won't let you auto-upload the "Camera" folder, instead it will redirect you to the "Sync with OneDrive" settings in the Gallery app. The problem is that "Sync with OneDrive" Gallery feature doesn't work as expected, it won't auto-upload the photos, it works only manually.
Is there any solution for this problem? I should mention that I've also disabled "Battery optimization" for Gallery and OneDrive apps. I am sorry if this was already discussed/solutioned. Thanks!

Before using android phone, I have a tons of photo on picasa web.
Now, use my gmail account in android phone, the photo on the picasa web will download to my phone， this is not my desire.
Is it possible to stop synchronize with picasa web ?
Sure thing.
Settings > Accounts and sync > in Manage accounts choose yours one > uncheck "Sync Picasa Web Albums"
Go to settings > Accounts and Sync then select your Google Account under 'Manage Accounts' and untick 'Sync Picasa Web Albums'
I disabled this option.
However , I cannot delete those downloaded photos in the gallery.
android doesn't provide the delete option for me.
Once you disable, the synced photos from Picasa should be gone automatically. Just did that with Captivate.

If you clear Gallery application cache, the picassa web album will gone
in the worse case scenario you can also login to your google picasa account to manually do it from there
not there!
sorry i feel like a bother, im running 2.2 on Samsung Captivate... and i go to the settings and accounts and syncs but theres no option to untick! :/
TRY THIS!!!
Settings>Accounts and Sync
Tap Activate auto-sync
Tap your Google Account
then uncheck Sync Picasa Web Albums
back Tap Activate auto-sync for uncheck.
DONE
NOTE : After you do this method, Never tap Sync Picasa Web Albums forever
with this method you never lose your photos on picasa web.
Hey guys, sorry for necroing, but I don't wanna start a new thread. Thing is, my problem is the opposite. Picasa.is syncing photos from my phone to my account, therefore all photos I take OR download will show up in Picasa. I've already disabled sync.with picasa on my phone all along. What can I do?
Maybe you activated "Instant-Upload" in Google+ App, or something like that?
Yes in account turn off auto synch instant upload

After installing the "Official Facebook" App I noticed that the social updates for the gallery were no longer working. I am presuming that the stock Moto Facebook program "FB Authenticator 2.3.4" is what provides the sync of contacts and social content to the device.
Here is a list of troubleshooting I have completed looking for any insight...
I proceeded to delete the official app and remove Facebook from "My Accounts" and rebooted the device.
FB contacts and contact pics disappeared.
Launched gallery added "social media account" selected the FB icon from My Accounts login was successful. Nothing
Looked at Moto "social networking" app and no FB updates only Linked In
Went to | settings>battery & data manager>data delivery> social applications and enabled Sync over Wifi only. Checked all applications "gallery" shows no FB updates or friends. "social networking" working. No FB contacts in contacts
Went to | manage apps>all>Facebook authenticator : storage and cache read all zeros 0.00 all options greyed out like app is not even running.
I'm having the same issue.. in other forums/threads rumor has it that Google is actively blocking facebook contact integration because Facebook does not allow users to export their data.
If you check apps is Moto Facebook Authenticator 2.3.4 running ?
Friendcaster is all you need.
Did anyone find a fix for this (other than using a 3rd party app like friendcaster) ?
Wondering how Picasa sync works with this phone. I was sending pictures using Hangouts and it seems that when I look in Gallery it shows those pics with the Picasa symbol on it. The problem is that I can't delete it. I have the Picasa software install on my PC and it doesn't even show there. Nor does it show in an app that manages Picasa photos.
Not even sure why those pics were uploaded. I have Google + Photo auto upload turned off...which I don't think is associated with Picasa.
Any insights on this would be appreciated! Thanks.
Did you check your sync settings? Try turning off Picasa Web Uploads.

That does not delete the images. That only removes the syncing from that phone you're using. When you replace it with a new phone, they will show up again. What is the source of those photos? How do you delete them there???
All photos posted in a Google hangout get auto backed up to your Google+ photos. Each hangout conversation should have it's own album in the Photos section of Google+.
If you don't want the photo you are sending to get backed up just turn the "history" off on the chat before you send the photo. You can turn it back on after the photo is sent if you want.

People are fooled by the numerous videos on Youtube on how to remove those annoying Picasa photos from being seen on your device. 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. and delete them permanently.
All photos backed up from your phone are in Google+ Photos. If you delete them there it will ask you if you want to delete the photo everywhere.

Use an app called Picasa Tools. From there you can change the albums to Hangouts. Select and delete the pictures you want.
I'm guessing that any Picasa gallery app would work?
There are a few ways to delete from Picasa.
1) open google photos. delete from there. It will warn you that it will delete pictures even off of your device, however.
also remember to open the side menu and empty the trash, they don't get deleted immediately.
2)go to your google + photos on an actual computer. you can delete them through there without worrying about them being deleted from your phone. However, if you have auto backup on, it'll just reup them again anyways.
to change what gets uploaded, open the side menu in google photos, go down to "on device" and uncheck(disable the cloud icon) the folders you don't want backed up. if you don't want any backing up, make sure you turn off the photo syncing in your google account settings on your phone. (settings - accounts - google - *your account* - uncheck Sync Google + Photos) Then clear the cache on your gallery app and reload the app, it'll all be gone.
If they keep reappearing try this: Get on a desktop computer > sign into google account > go to picasaweb.google.com/lh/myphotos?noredirect=1 and delete the actual photos at the source.
It will give a huge list of the places that the photo is being deleted from! Caution: this deletes the photos from EVERYWHERE including blogger posts, etc
I have picasa web albums set to never sync through gallery and settings>accounts, Google photos is removed, drive set to never sync photos, and still when an app wants me to upload a picture my old picasa photos fill up the selection screen. Is there a way I can disable that or is it just a curse of android?

Iv a weird thing going on with picasa. It shows on my home screen as picasa but when I check out the app info from within app management it shows as Google+ and it shows the same data as cache etc for it.
The weird thing is I'm pretty sure I disabled or hid picasa but after stock root it popped back up on my unhidden apps list. Any ideas?

first in settings, check for the apps and disable the ones you dont want... it will say disabled to the right of it.
second, i have been using an app from the playstore called nobloat free version and then i disable the bloat this way also...
but i acutally go to the system/app and system/priv-app and delete the unnecessary files (bloat ware or apps that I can get from the playstore, cause i have on TB or MyBackup, then for the missing or remainder of the files I find out with nobloat the other file names and then delete the files also.
This way I make a nice clean Stock Debloated Version with TWRP. and save that for when ever I want to start clean..
There's an easy way to disable through settings but I forgot and have been too lazy to look it up again. You should be able to find with a little Google investigating. When you find it, please share with the rest of us lazy bums.
