I was using gwenview, but need more functionality & GV seems to crash often [bug reporting say not enough info]

I'm using Digikam, which has tons of cool bells & whistles, but is certainly more resource intensive
there is a export to webalbum & it does sign in to my google account
image files can be picked & prepared for export, when I click upload files, something appears to happen, the files never get there
pulling files from the webalbum side has degraded to the point, only one file at a time can be uploaded

I realize that this is most likely a G+ problem, but thought I would cover all the bases

Which version of KDE and Digikam do you have?

DigiKam 1.9.0
KDE 4.6.5

Digikam is now up to version 2.6.0, and KDE up to 4.8.2.
Google likely changed their API, so updating to a later version of KDE/Digikam could correct this issue.

just following up
a couple of weeks later, export to picasa started working as expected, on the same version(s)
