Part of your Google account, which most people use on their Samsung Galaxy tablet, includes access to the online photo-sharing website, Picasa web. If you haven’t yet been to the Picasa website, you should check it out.

Configure things by logging into your Google account on that website.

The Picasa web account should be synchronized and configured automatically with your Galaxy tablet. So if you’ve saved pictures on the Picasa website, you can find them on the tablet. If not, follow these steps to ensure that Picasa web is being property synced:

  1. On the Home screen, touch the Apps icon.

  2. Touch the Settings icon.

  3. View the list of installed accounts.

    Touch the General tab and choose the Accounts item from the left side of the screen. If the Settings app doesn’t display a General tab, scroll down the screen until you locate the Accounts area.

  4. Choose Google.

  5. Choose your Google account.

    It’s on the right side of the screen.

  6. Ensure that there’s a check mark by the Sync Picasa web Albums item.

    That’s pretty much it.

Any images you have on Picasa web are automatically copied to your Galaxy tablet from now on.

If you want to share on the Internet with Picasa web the pictures you take with the Camera app, you need to select and share the images.

About the book author:

Dan Gookin has been writing about technology for 20 years. He has contributed articles to numerous high-tech magazines and written more than 90 books about personal computing technology, many of them accurate.
He combines his love of writing with his interest in technology to create books that are informative and entertaining, but not boring. Having sold more than 14 million titles translated into more than 30 languages, Dan can attest that his method of crafting computer tomes does seem to work.
Perhaps Dan’s most famous title is the original DOS For Dummies, published in 1991. It became the world’s fastest-selling computer book, at one time moving more copies per week than the New York Times number-one best seller (although, because it’s a reference book, it could not be listed on the NYT best seller list). That book spawned the entire line of For Dummies books, which remains a publishing phenomenon to this day.
Dan’s most recent titles include PCs For Dummies, 9th Edition; Buying a Computer For Dummies, 2005 Edition; Troubleshooting Your PC For Dummies; Dan Gookin’s Naked Windows XP; and Dan Gookin’s Naked Office. He publishes a free weekly computer newsletter, “Weekly Wambooli Salad,” and also maintains the vast and helpful Web site www.wambooli.com.
