Guys I was wondering if with the Nexus 4 it is possible to have my personal pictures on the cloud (through Picasa or something like this). I have 7 Gigs that i occasionally browse on my mobile so, to save some space, it would be nice to have them on the cloud.
Most important part is to browse them with the default gallery application. I know it would be possible to use the cloud provider's app but I prefer using default gallery.
Hope there is a way. Ty all for you support.
google+ instant upload?

I have read about that option. But using that all my pictures will be watchable on my google+ profile right?
BTW it should put picture taken with my N4 in google+ account.
I'm looking on a way to have available(on the cloud) the pictures that i have on my PC without using my N4 gigs.

ZumoDrime, Dropbox, or Picasa?
I would use this for pictures. What do you guys think?
I use drop box for my business all the time.
DropBox is great. 2 gigs free. Super easy to share.
I also use DropBox... I'm sure there are other great apps, but I just use what I know.
for pictures?
Picasa hands down. Easy to share. tied to your google account.
For other stuff? dropbox. But for pics, Picasa is perfect.

You only get 1GB of storage on Picasa as opposed to 2GB on DropBox Correct?

correct.
Frankly, I use Picasa at home and Picasa web for my photos, so syncing is as straight-forward as it possibly can be.
I use DropBox for other files though and find no reason to waste that dropbox space on photos. And since Picasa is already integrated into Android, it's simple enough to use.
Just got this phone. Would like to seek advice from experienced members here.
How do I set the gallery to show only photos from phone by default? By default the setting is all, which includes picassa and Dropbox, which makes opening gallery rather slow as it loads photos from there. Every time I have to set it to view photo from phone only.
Can it be done? Using stock stock rom but rooted.

the main reason i want to do this is because it takes a minute or so to load my photos due to the fact it is searching for photos on my picassa account.
however, i found a way to disable that.
settings->google (under "accounts")->[your email, under "accounts"]->untick "sync picasa web albums"
done! i also unticked sync chrome, currents, google+, instant upload, internet... i left contacts, gmail and calander as i use them.
thanks everyone for trying to help me. i really appreciate that
Anybody know how to add different cloud accounts to the gallery? Dropbox is there but I want to add box to it also.

I just installed Box, signed in and rebooted. Just went to Gallery to share a pic and Box is an option now.
Thanks but what I wanted was to be able to view those (box pictures) from the gallery. Out you look at the to left in the gallery, it says " gallery". If you click it, it has other options.

I'm only seeing Dropbox get added as an option in the Gallery, I went to Cloud and Accounts but no option to add other Clouds. Still Picasa and Dropbox can easily store several lifetimes of photos. I have 100 gigs free with Dropbox.
Also I suggest adding Google drive and Google Plus accounts, every photo I take goes automatically to my photo storage on Google Plus. You get 15 gigs of space free and any photos you upload less than 2048px (or that you let Google+ resize for you) won't count against your limits.
So, still no solution to that?

Is there anyway to completely remove the Picasa selection from Gallery?
Cheers
Which is the best option if you want to use it for sharing and backing up photos? When I'm out and about taking pictures and I want to share with someone, the pics are either to big for texting or there is to many to send. So I usually upload to dropbox and send a link to either just view or to download. The problem is I only have 2G with dropbox and would like to use something else to backup almost ALL my pics(about 12G of them). Is it better to upload them to G+ or Google drive? I know that pics in google drive can be seen in G+, but you don't see the pics in G+ on your Google drive directories. Also, I plan on using the app to view the pics on my phone like the native gallery. Any advice or better options?
Thanks in advance!
I use the google photos app on my phone and have it set to auto backup. So when I take a picture(s) it backs up the most recent ones when I am on wifi.I think the google photos are sync'd with your google drive but I'm not 100% sure and can't look on my computer at work. I also increased my google drive size to 1TB for $9.99/month, they also have 100GB for $1.99/month. Not sure if this helps or makes it more complicated as I am limited to what I can see on google at work.
When in either of the apps and I attempt to send a message, I'm only able to select from local storage and not my Google Photos or my Google Drive for that matter. However, when I go into the Photos app and select a picture that's stored in the cloud, I'm able to send it.
I think it varies by app. If I am using Fenix (Twitter app) I can select "Photos" which has all my cloud photos (6000+), but when using Messenger (stock SMS) I can only pick from the several hundred saved on my device. I usually go to the photos app first and click Share from there, which is actually much better for searching. When using Fenix and selecting my cloud storage, it just shows me a long list, and I can't use any of the search functions. I can scroll through the list, but it's just a super long list ordered by date.

Could be. I know when running CM 13 and using their stock messenger app I have no issues selecting from my cloud photos. Maybe I'll see if someone has the CM 13 messenger APK or zip.
Actually this is a bug in Hangouts and has been reported and confirmed.
