Does Android really not provide an auto upload of snapped pictures to the cloud? I was under the impression that they did this way before iCloud even came up. First it was to Picasa or some place, then to the google+ place somewhere.

Either way, I don't even remember if the iCloud upload was default or not. When it was introduced I took an interest to find out how to deactivate that in case it was enabled by default. Don't remember if it was. All I know is, it is disabled on my device and it'll stay that way because I really didn't want to use this.
