try out dropbox. once uploaded you can view it on your phones or your computer without having your pictures "all over google"
just install the app on each device and login, whatever is uploaded - is accessible.
you have to initiate the sync, for anythign to be available anywhere else - otherwise where would the security be in that?
no need for the clunky binder full of polaroids that you show to your friends, as long as you have your images auto uploading to dropbox after theyre taken, you can forget your phone at home and login to dropbox elsewhere, on your friends device, at the library - this is what a cloud is for. use it. you'll like it.
