Bug Description
It looked like Ubuntu One for Android was breaking the Picasa share option in the ICS Gallery application. So did Dropbox and any app with same e-mail using AccountManager. It is a Picasa bug, and here is the workaround.
WORKAROUND to fix Share with Picasa
For Ubuntu One:
* Go to https:/
* Click "Manage email addresses"
* Add a Gmail alias
If your email is <email address hidden>, type in <email address hidden>
* You will receive a verification e-mail to your <email address hidden> inbox, follow instructions
* Once complete, sign out of Ubuntu One
Menu > Settings > Advanced options > Remove from U1
or
Simply remove the Ubuntu One account from Accounts & Sync device settings section
* Sign in with <email address hidden> instead
* Voila! You have Ubuntu One installed and Share with Picasa working properly, both using your lara at GMail e-mail account (with real e-mail and an e-mail alias).
For Dropbox:
* Change e-mail in Account Settings on the website and do similar steps which you would for Ubuntu One
Although Dropbox is competition to Ubuntu One, I'm providing this workaround, so people don't complain about Share with Picasa being broken only because they've applied the work around for Ubuntu One Files, but still have installed Dropbox (which would now cause the problem).
Thanks Oscar!
--- old bug report ---
It appears to be hijacking the share option somehow, and as a result the upload fails.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Select image(s) in gallery to share via Picasa
2) Select Picasa from the Share menu
3) You will see the Ubuntu One login form appear
4) The Picasa details form will load, but it won't be functional and the upload will fail
I have removed Ubuntu One for Android and the picasa share works as expected.
I'm running a Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0.1 with the latest version of U1 available in the Market.
