use <gglConnection variable>.Write on the gglAlbum variable to update the album on the Google server.

To modify a photo in the album:

modify the characteristics of the photo in the album (via a gglPhoto variable if necessary).
use <gglConnection variable>.Write on the gglPhoto variable corresponding to the photo to modify to update the album on the Google server.

If <gglConnection variable>.Write is directly used with a gglPhoto variable (not linked to an album), the photo will be created/transferred into a generic album named "Transferred files".

Possible error cases:

The Internet connection is not valid.
The authentication was not performed properly.
The XML response of the server cannot be read.
