It looks like - in both examples - you're calling a version of insert that performs a multipart request https://github.com/google/gdata-java-client/blob/master/java/src/com/google/gdata/client/media/MediaService.java#L372
It also looks like there's a version of insert that performs a non-multipart request: https://github.com/google/gdata-java-client/blob/master/java/src/com/google/gdata/client/media/MediaService.java#L440 so you can probably do something l public void insertPhoto() throws MalformedURLException, IOException, ServiceException { // put path to photo here MediaFileSource myMedia = new MediaFileSource( new File("some_file.jpg"), "image/jpeg"); refreshCredential(credential, picasawebService); PhotoEntry returnedPhoto = picasawebService.insert(getPhotoFeedUrl(), PhotoEntry.class, myMedia); } Note that you can't set the description, and the title will be the filename ("some_file.jpg"), but that makes the same type of request I've had success with.
