Comment 29 for bug 1314904

I know Google has already discontinued Picasa in favor of Google Photos[1], so at first I was not surprised "insert" is not valid in Google's Picasa API [2]. However, with more investigation, I couldn't find any separate API for Google Photos (it seems that the Picasa API still serves as the API for Google Photos). So, perhaps there is something wrong with *this* API interaction.

Although I've setup the Google account in Ubuntu System Settings -> "Online Accounts", I'm unable to use that account in Shotwell to publish to 'Picasa' (Google Photos). I get a 400 error Invalid request.

tail ~/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log
