Every time I try to upload a picture from my gallery to Picasa I get and message " Failed to retrieve account information" . I have full strength 4g and data connection is good, my Picasa albums show up in my gallery, but I can't add a photo to an album for the life of me.  Ideas?

It turns out that if I have Drop Box installed on my GNex then pictures won't upload to Picasa. I have confirmed this to be a problem with a few ICS devices and even found some info on this issue on Google's forums ( http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/mobile/kW1D7jt-DMw ).

Basically until an update to ICS or Drop Box comes through the only solution is to uninstall Drop Box 😞

I was able to upload to picasa by setting it as my "Quick upload" choice. Still can't upload using the share option.
