Dropbox or ?

My friend and I just move to droid from iPhones and we like to share pictures and vidoes. With iPhone, the iCloud was easy and when it synced it let us know when new things were there and automatically shared but Dropbox does not. Am I misses something? Or is there another app that does this that we should use? Google plus ate my data so that won't work either. Help is much appreciated.
 
Actually, Google+ is exactly what I would suggest. Just follow each other, and use the auto upload feature for your pictures and videos
 
G+ will do the automatic updating but i think youll still have to share those pics with your friend (or give them your google password [if you really trust them])
Best thing i can think of is dropbox and give eachother a link to a folder on there. Only thing is uploads wont be automatic.
There must be a way to do both....
What about picassa? Ive never used it tbh but i think that does auto upload(?)
 
Why would they have to share a password? If, for example, I had you in a circle and you reciprocated, why wouldn't that work? If you auto upload your photos, I'll see them in Google+, wouldn't I?
 
I'm not sure. I'm going the vehicle Google + works for us. How do I upload it so it automatically shares? Just create a folder and upload to that each time?
 
If I recall correctly, there's an option in the app. Just poke around the settings
 
It'll work like Twitter. They'll be posted as they're loaded, and you can scroll through your feed to view.
 
I just tried it and while I didn't immediately see a way to add to existing folders I can upload photos and videos directly to her with no problem. Thank you so much!!!!!
 
If you go into your gallery and select a photo (so it's enlarged to full screen), you should see some icons. The "share" icon looks like a sideways V. It should then bring up a list of all available options, and choose Google+

I can't see a way to make a circle be able to see my auto uploaded pics mate. I only use the app though. Maybe it has to be be set up on desktop?
EDIT sorry I get what you mean now man. Not auto uploaded pics but ones shared from gallery to a circle (or person) :):beer:
 
I went into Google+, selected a pic, and posted it. It took about thirty seconds or so before I saw it in my feed.
