I know that, but it doesn't stick lol... wtf right?
I found the answer myself lol. You need to go in to Cloud in settings and then disable Dropbox sync to gallery.
Now i just have to figure out how to NOT SHOW picassa images

Settings>Google>'Your E-mail here'>Picasa
I don't know if it actually works since i don't use Picasa. but it's worth a shot.
My Sync Internet doesn't seem to sync
desont seem to work ;(
I managed to do it with an app called QuickPic and some adjustments in the settings!
After downloading Quickpic, you go to Settings>S Cloud. There, as the first screenshot shows you disable pics and video sync. (I belive you did that already.)
Then, you go to Settings >Google then you select your mail address and you'll have the options as you can see on the second screenshot. Untick picassa and google photos.
Now it is possible you still see some of your cloud pics on your device. I'm pretty sure you can't delete some of them with the stock galery app. So use Quickpic to delete them.
Hope it helped

Make sure the synching for the Picasa albums is still off, then go into Settings > Application manager. Select the All tab, find Gallery and hit the Clear data button. Next time you open the Gallery, it will take a moment to rebuild it but the Picasa albums should finally be gone.

At some point in time you must've enabled the Instant Upload feature (and have obviously subsequently disabled it). The folder is in Picasa Web Albums, and it is non-removable from what I can see.
maybe this is different in 2.4, but you should have an option under syncing to not sync Picasa and instant upload.

i dont have picasa on my phone, iv re enabled syncing the google photos and google plus and instant upload trying to wipe the folder but its still there
it has a picasa picture on the folder but i dont have picasa installed and i cant find any settings for it
Google syncing brings Picasa to you in gallery by default. Turn off google photo's sync or edit the picasa web album
When you have the album open in Picasa Web Albums, choose Action, Delete Album - YOU WILL lose all photo's but it should then not show up.
To prevent it again in Google + turn off instant uploads

You don't need to have picasa installed on the phone for this to happen, Picasa Web Albums is online. It is where your pictures are saved when you enable Instant Upload in Google+, something which you must have enabled at some point since you have the folder.

I have been unable to get the Instant Upload album to delete, from Picasa Web Albums. It just stays there.
do you install picasa?
i got rid of it by removing my google account then adding it again and disabled goole photos from syncing then when i signed into google plus i disabled instant upload
I have different issue.
If I click on GALLERY it comes up with message "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped.
REPORT - OK
Any ideas?
Speaking of the Gallery, is there any way to order the folders/albums alphabetically? It seems like they're ordered completely randomly, which is really annoying if you have a lot of albums.

Have you disabled any apps? I disabled a pile of crap I don't use (Google+, Books, Talk, News & Weather) and I got the same. Then I re-enabled them and it worked again. Didn't get into trying them one at a time yet.
On de SGS the Gallery-app gave al lot of problems. One of them was that it used al lot of juice. Another was that it not always showed all pictures. For those reasons I installed Quickpic. It is a free app and very reliable. But let's hope that the Gallery-app is improved on ICS.

I also love Quickpic, however the auto-rotate is extremely slow half the time on the Galaxy Nexus. The phone seems to be slow w/ auto-rotate everywhere, but it's even worse in Quickpic.

Have you tried clearing the gallery cache/date from app manager after you disabled google+? I bet they become linked upon initial start of gallery.
Yeah, that was the first thing I looked at.
Actually, now that I think about it, I did a settings wipe through titanium backup, but not a cache wipe through app manager.
Hmm. Let me try that.
Edit: Nope, looks like google+ physically has to be present. Silly.

Another weird thing with the gallery. When looking at the details of some images (transferred over from PC/Mac) I get a time of Jan 1, 1970. Normaly taken pictures, screenshots and those send from another phone through bluetooth have the proper time shown.
a problem I have sometimes is I get grey boxes instead of pictures
Just poke and hold on the gallery folder then hit the delete button. Problem solved?
Can anyone please share the APK?
All latest baked, oops cooked releases include the annoying version with online (Picasa) sync....
The only way I know of getting it is from Pauls Modaco ROM but you'll need to buy premium to get access to the kitchen to build a ROM with it in.
I'm not prepared to break his rules and post it either, sorry.

I got rid of the "Scrapbook Photos" and "Profile Photos" albums by getting on my computer and logging into G+ and then I just deleted the picasa folder and the picasa feature/service/app altogether. I never used picasa anyway so that got rid of the empty "Scrapbook Photos" album in my gallery. Then I deleted my profile picture in G+ to get rid of the "Profile Photos" album. It took me a loooong time to finally get rid of those annoying albums in my gallery. I tried all kinds of stuff before I realized I could do it that way. After all was said and done, I just deleted my entire G+ account bc I never used it anyway...I barely use FB as it is. I'm very picky about having only what I want in my gallery...as well as on my phone

When I open the Gallery I'm seeing image galleries with pics that have the small Picasa logo in the bottom right corner... some of them are even old pics from a Blogger blog I used to have. No matter what I have tried, I can't get rid of them.
1. I cleared cache and data for Gallery and Media Storage and rebooted... did not fix it.
2. Google+ Instant Upload is not enabled.
3. When in Gallery if I click the menu then "Settings" it confirms that Google Photo sync is OFF.
4. Settings | Accounts and Sync | Google... "Sync Google Photos" and "Sync Instant Upload" are not checked.
5. I went online to the Picasa site, deleted everything, then repeated step 1... did not fix it.
Any help would be very much appreciated. This is really irritating.
EDIT: I managed to now have it reduced to showing only two extra galleries now... (after #5 plus choosing "Refresh" from the menu in Gallery) ...but it's still showing "Profile Photos" (with a Picasa Logo) and photos from posts I've made on Google+.... UGH.
Google+.
Delete data.
I hate that too...and it's such a damn annoyance to see those images to me =/

I went to Settings | Apps | Google+ and deleted Data, went back to Gallery and did a refresh... nothing is different.
EDIT: Nope... this didn't fix it. I thought it did for a minute, because I cleared cache/data from G+ then Gallery... but still no dice.
Maybe I'm wrong...I was sure that's how I got rid of 'em.
But I KNOW the refresh is what put them there initially for me.
Maybe google+ delete data...gallery delete data?
And don't refresh.

This is what I did just now:
1. Settings | Apps | All
2. Gallery --> Force Stop, Clear Cache, Clear Data
3. Google Plus --> Force Stop, Clear Cache, Clear Data
4. Home button to home screen
5. Open Gallery
Apparent success...
I opened the Gallery again and it's clean except for 1 wallpaper I have in a folder on the phone, which is what I want (just wiped the phone because I rooted it).
Hopefully it'll stay that way.
EDIT: Still that way even after opening Google+ and letting it sync up and all.
Ya, I've gotten it twice now.
Once when I uploaded a google+ photo manually.
Once when I pressed refresh in Gallery.

Lol don't sync picasa =P uncheck it and Google + photos as well....
Tho even if u uncheck them the album boxes will still be there just that the picasa images won't show
- Google
Best option I've found is to disable Gallery and get Quickpic or equivalent.
Then you'll have a program that'll respect .nomedia and can exclude top level directories so you don't have to drill down and put a .nomedia in everything else.
OR - try this maybe... find the directory where the images with the picasa logo are stored on your phone, and drop a .nomedia file in it (since I'm guessing it's probably a temp dir or such, and not where your original files are). Then clear cache/data and such... and when it rescans it SHOULD skip that folder.
Had that same problem and like iGoogleNexus said:
Go to Settings -> Accounts & Synchronisation -> <your google account>
and uncheck Photos.

Login to your Picasa Web Gallery and delete everything, since it doesn't seem like you use it.

I had the same problem. Finally solved it by installing Picasa Tool from the play store and using it to delete all the folders from my Picasa account.

Guys who have this problem of synced photos in gallery.. clear the Google plus data and cache, problem solved.. it worked for me..also force atop after that..
Hi, is there anyway to get Instant Upload to upload my existing pictures? I just started using it as I created a google+ account yesterday. I have it enabled on CM10 (jellybro) but it doesnt upload pictures i take either :/. I have it enabled on google+ so I have no clue whats going on.
Make sure its sync is also set on in the google account associated with the phone, by default its usally off and the sync options are also usually unchecked. You can try mannually hitting the sync button on the phone to make sure its working. If you have a power widget make sure sync is also set on there.
Yeah I updated to the latest nightly and it grabs new pictures now. Do you know if there is any way to make it upload existing ones?

Go into the instant upload settings via the Google+ app, turn it on, then at the bottom of the settings window there's a prompt to upload all existing photos now.

That's the symbol for your Picasa Web album. It's most likely synced under accounts>google. All of those pics are saved in your Google Picasa account.
