You have a ton of photos on your Android phone, none of which you can live without. Its getting so bad that you've run out of room on your internal memory AND the massive memory card that you're phone either came with or you upgraded to. What do you do? Delete some pics, or...
Solution:
You back them up to Picasa, Google's photo cloud storage solution. Think of it as iPhoto but "to the cloud" instead of on your computer. Having photos saved to the cloud means you can access them from any internet enabled phone or computer anytime. Also, Picasa gives you enough space for photos to last a long time. And if you take photos to the extreme and manage to fill the space they give you, for a fee you may upgrade by a lot for very little.
First off, set up your Picasa account by using your Gmail account. They are one in the same, but setup is required to start with Picasa. Once this is complete you need to enable "Sync Picasa Web Albums" on your Android phone.
1. Go to Settings
2. Select 'Accounts & sync'
3. Select your Google account under 'Manage accounts'
4. Select the 'Sync Picasa Web Albums' radio box
Now your phone is in sync with Picasa and therefor ready for uploading.
1. Open your Gallery app
2. Select all the photos you'd like to upload
3. Select 'Share'
4. Select 'Picasa'
5. Fill in all the fields
6. Select 'Upload'
Your done. All your backed up pics will still be viewable in Gallery, without taking up space. Once you verify this go ahead and clear them off your phone. Use the website to make albums, control permissions and share with family and friends. Permissions are very important to set, because all your photos will be viewable by the world unless made private.
Enjoy.
