# Upload to Picasa From Command Line Using Googlecl

> Specially for Nikon users sudo apt-get install ufraw-batch cd /Pictures/Nikon ufraw-batch --out-type=jpeg .NEF ; mkidr nef.

## As GoogleCL brings Google services to the command line. I tried this for the fun of it

  

### **Upload your pics to Picasa from command line!**

```bash
 sudo apt-get install python-gdata sudo dpkg -i http://googlecl.googlecode.com/files/googlecl_0.9.5-1_all.deb for pic in *.jpeg; do google picasa post --title="Trip to Mars" $pic; done 
```

_Specially for Nikon users_ ` sudo apt-get install ufraw-batch cd ~/Pictures/Nikon ufraw-batch --out-type=jpeg _.NEF ; mkidr nef ; mv_.nef nef for pic in *.jpeg; do title=$(basename $pic) google picasa post --title="Trip to Moon" $pic; done `

**or use the One-liner** `**ufraw-batch --out-type=jpeg _.NEF ; mkidr nef ; mv_.nef nef;google picasa create --album "Trip to Moon" *.jpg**`

**Backup all your data to any album you wish, --title Album name** `**find . -iname "*.jpeg" -exec google picasa --title ND5k post {} +**`
