Upload image to Google+ profile via email

Question

Is it possible to upload an image to my Google+ profile via email?

All other social services seems to having this feature available but I can't find it on Google+.

Answer 1

Yes. The key is that you don't do it through Google+, but rather Picasaweb (soon to be Google Photos)

1. Go to Picasaweb
2. Click the gear in the upper-right corner and select "Photos settings"
3. On the "General" tab, there is an option for "Upload photos by email:"
4. Click the checkbox and select a "secret word". The combination of the secret word and your user ID will create a special e-mail address (i.e., {userID}.{secret}@picasaweb.com)
5. Use that e-mail address to e-mail images to your Picasaweb (and, thus, Google+) photos

The photos appear in the "Drop Box" album, which is the default for newly uploaded photos, and the e-mail subject is used as the caption.

From here, you'll want to move the image to an album you're already sharing or, if you want to share every image you send via e-mail, you can share the Drop Box album with whatever Circles you want and it'll appear in your Stream.

Note: Google recently changed picasaweb.google.com to redirect to your Google+ Photos. While they do provide a link to get back to Picasaweb without redirecting there's no telling how long they'll keep that link around. There is not, at this time, a way to upload photos to Google+ via email.
