Android has "Instant Upload" with the Google+ app. I'd like something similar for iPhone: an app that takes all my photos and uploads them to a private album on Picasa Web Albums. Jailbreak alternatives are fine too.

Searching the App Store for the word "picasa" gives me far too many results. There are some Picasa album-browsing apps, and a few uploading tools (mostly paid; free versions only upload thumbnails). Rather than testing out all 59+ apps myself, perhaps some fellow users here have personal experiences and recommendations?

I'm using Linux on my pc. This means that iTunes is not an option. (Yes, it's a hassle...) I am looking for something that can upload straight from iPhone to web, without requiring a computer as a middle step.

Bonus points for operation in the background, but I'll accept an app that requires to be foreground -- as long as it can upload.

Seems like the new answer is the Google+ app for iOS.

    Times change, apps improve. Google+ for iOS is the tool of choice (even though it only allows 2048x2048 resolution).

I use Web Albums and it works well. It's currently $2.99 on the US store.

Photoforge2 is an excellent photo editing app for both iPhone and iPad that uploads to Picasa and just about everything else. It's a real bargain too: £0.69 in the UK/$0.99 in the US.

There are plenty of other options too: see my round up of iPad photo apps over on photo.stackexchange.com.

    Looking at the iTunes page, it appears that the app can't do bulk upload, but only the one pic it's currently editing?

  • Yes, I think that's the case. Sorry, missed that you specifically wanted bulk uploads.

I used PhotoSync (US$1.99) and was impressed by its features. You can not only upload to Picasa but also Flickr, Dropbox and other services, including to your computer or another iphone/iPad.
