Alternative for Google+ auto backup of image... how would I automate resize and transfer?

There is a way to install Google photos auto backup on Ubuntu (taken from here on Reddit, worked for me...)

1. Install google photos auto backup on Windows machine (may be a virtual PC or an ordinary PC)
2. Start > Run > regedit
3. go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Picasa\Picasa2\Preferences

4. Then on Menu > registry > export registry file. It should look something like this:

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Picasa\Picasa2\Preferences]
   "GoogleOAuth"=hex:xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,\      xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx
   "GoogleOAuthEmail"="[email protected]"
   "GoogleOAuthServices"="mail,lh2,cp,cp.manager,mailrelay,plus.stream.write,    plus.circles.read,plus.profiles.read,plus.me,plus.media.upload,plus.media.    readonly,plus.settings,youtube,"
   "GoogleOAuthVersion"=dword:00000005
   

5. Install playOnLinux. Go to configure, create a new 32-bit Windows virtual drive, call it GooglePhotosBackup. Select the new virtual drive. In wine tab > task manager > new task, select the gpautobackup_setup.exe file you've downloaded from google and install google auto backup.

6. Select the new virtual drive again > registry editor , then on menu > registry > import registry file > import the registry file you created earlier.
7. General tab > make a new shortcut from this virtual drive button and select google photos backup.exe.

Finally, run the application and you should be logged in!
