How to force Google+ Instant Upload to perform an upload right away? Sometimes I want to share photos my friend right after after we take the shots. I want those photos to appear in my Google+ Instant Upload album immediately, rather than waiting for it automatically do it.

How can I force "instant upload" to run?
From the Google+ app, select Settings -&gt; Instant Upload and press the Upload all item, it will just upload any photos that haven't already been uploaded.

As noted in the comments, you can also share individual photos in your album via Google+.
