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?

Opinion - Best Cloud Syncing App for Android

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.

picasa pics availalbe Offline even though Offline is not chosen

I have none of my picasa Albums selected of "view offline" however if I turn wireless off. I can still view the pictures. I plan to upload alot of pics to Picasa and don't want to fill my nexus up. I also noticed that my nexus 7 became laggy after I started putting pictures up on Picasa. I just want to make sure that it is copying all my pics down to the nexus.
Have you found an answer to this yet? I also have been trying to figure out the same thing. I thought at first it was just the thumbnails but once I view an album the pictures seem to remain cached despite my offline setting.
Isn't this to do with G+ instant upload???? Go to accounts in settings Google, then look at what syncs turn off Google pictures and instant upload and anything else that resembles g+ go to apps All scroll to gallery clear data and reboot and they'll be gone

Yes, from what I've gathered it is the G+ instant and Google Pictures sync that adds the "picassa" albums to the gallery. I actually wanted my picasa albums in my gallery, however as I have over 100 albums I wanted them visible and accessible when online (to save space). I only want to chose a few select albums (kids, work stuff, etc) to make "available offline" but so far it appears as soon as I view an album it saves the full images in cache and still shows up when I'm offline, I don't want my storage getting eaten up by pictures that I only plan to view when online.

[How to] set gallery to show photo only from phone

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

Picture on the cloud

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.

Google Photos issue in Messenger and Hangouts

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.
