[digiKam-users] google photos upload broken?

[Maik Qualmann]

This is your typical error message when trying to upload a image to an album 
with a lock icon. It is only possible to upload images in albums that were 
also created by the digiKam App itself (normal folder icon). This is a feature 
/ bug in the Google API. There are many corresponding entries in the Google 
Bug tracker.

The upload works here with the current developer version otherwise without 
problems.
