Help Can I stop Google from uploading Gallery to Picasa Web?

[Android Question]

Is there any way to disable Google Play Services "sign in-request", which pops up frequently and tries to upload pictures from my phone's gallery (private pics) to Picasa Web Albums/Google+? I am deathly afraid I'll accidentally hit the wrong button one of these days. Plus it's a tremendous nuisance with notifications many times each day.

If I turn off "Show Notifications" in Google Play Services App Info, I assume the notifications will stop, but will it still be trying to make my pics public...? any way to protect gallery from sharing?

You'll need to log into your Google account to use the play store. To disable photo sync altogether, go to meny>settings>accounts and tap on your Google account. There you should be able to un-check Google+ Photos and it won't upload them anymore.

Google+ photos and Picasa are 2 different things.

Yes, but the sync message the op is seeing is for the G+ album showing the picassa logo for photos, correct?

It won't show your pics publicly unless you actually go on g+ and share them so don't worry about that

and this problem is pissing me off big time.

Picasa don't exist anymore, so there is no place to turn OFF the damn Picasa Requests...

Google+, Photos, do not offer anyway to turn off that damn request.

I do NOT want any photo uploaded period, unless I do it on purpose.

I have done an Advanced Google search on this forum, and all of the answers are useless, and they don't work....
not today they don't.

anyone still dealing with this misery?

I just now disabled all Notifications from the Google app period....
time will tell if they did anything for me.
