New app that I really like so far

[SGTiger]

Just wanted to share a new app that has a 30-day trial that I really like so far. PicPush will automatically upload your photos as you take them to your Picasa (and other) account.

In case you didn't know, with your gmail account comes a Picasa account. Now I have read too many stories of Droid owner's sd cards becoming corrupt, requiring a reformat, and thus rendering their photos gone forever. I want my photos backed up in case I either lose my Droid, or it dies.

Of course you can manually upload your photos from your gallery to a Picasa or other account, but I cannot remember to do this every few days of photo taking. With PicPush, it will upload your photos a (configurable) amount of time after they are taken without you having to do anything.

If you desire, you can have it remove these photos from your Droid after the upload. This is handy if you are already using the flan version of the Gallery which shows you your Picasa web folders in the gallery and keeps them synced.

According to the blurb, it will upload videos and photos to Facebook, Flickr, Shutterfly, PhotoBucket, SmugMug, Gallery and Picasa. I have only been using it for 24 hours, but so far so good. I am already hooked, so I will probably be paying the $4.99 for the full version. ....and no I am in no way affiliated with this company:

I take too many lousy pictures to have ALL of them pushed up...

I use Pixelpipe to do this. It also will upload to all those different sites and there is a free (not trial) version that I've been using with no issues.

Is it a set it and forget it kind of thing like PicPush? I don't want to have to manually tell it to upload. I can do that now without an app by clicking share within the flan gallery. I like the free part of Pixelpipe, but the description says you have to click to upload? Is that right, or does it do it automatically like PicPush does?

You can set it to wait a while before it uploads. That way you have plenty of time to delete all those crappy pictures. Or you can just go to the website from a computer and delete them there.

I have it set to NOT do that because I only send them every now and then, but you can set it to automatically upload or to prompt you after each picture you take. So right after taking a pic, it pops up and asks you to share or cancel and lets you put a title/tag on it if you wish. I really like it.

Can't upload photos from Droid to Shutterfly

Please help me. I cannot upload photos from my Droid Incredible to Shutterfly. I tried Pixelpipe and I couldn't get it to do anything. It is not user friendly. I also tried Picpush and when it tries to upload, there is a login failure. Sometimes I can get it to upload manually if I try logging in a couple times. There has got to be a better way.

Use a different picture hosting site like picasa :icon_ banana:

One of the Best Android Apps for photography that I found recently was WireGoggles.
