Is there a way to publish my edits from LightRoom to the new Google Photos?

I've done more playing with Google Photos and it appears that if you use a PicasaWeb publish service it uploads to Picasa and not Google Photos, which is a slightly different environment.

What this means is that your published collection albums appear in PicasaWeb AND Google Photos but a re not sorted by default. You can go to the PicasaWeb site and re-order them if you want.
I have also found that uploading to PicasaWeb via a publish service maintains the file size and therefore counts towards your storage limit (which is OK if that's what you want). There's no way to tell it you want unlimited storage.

Conversely if you download and use Google's uploader, you can choose whether you keep the original file size or unlimited uploads at a reduced size.

If you use this uploader and create an album within Google Photos than all the photos are automatically ordered. The album does not appear in PicasaWeb.

As rickbowden has described, you can have Google Photo Backup monitor folders and upload them to Google Photos with the perks of "High quality (unlimited storage)" or "Original". More on what those terms mean on nackblog.

Then, you can set up a publishing service inside Lightroom for Hard Drive and have Google Photo Backup watch those published folders.

After some playing around with it, I found that while the new photos were uploaded to Google Photos, future edits and deletions did not synced like they may with a dedicated Google Photos plug-in.

Would it be better to export the photos from LightRoom with Metadata and upload to Google Photos?

You could do that, but I don't see how it would be "better": using a published collection, you can easily manage an album, keep it up to date, etc; exporting and uploading individual files means you have to do all that manually instead.

The PicasaWeb plugin discussed in this thread works just fine with Google Photos: I used it for this purpose just yesterday. You should give it a try.

‌but someone here that the picasaweb plugin doesn't sort it by date. Also does it keep it as free storage? All my pics are under 16MP

Can I import all my photos from my iPhone into Google Photos into Lightroom and then edit them and publish all the changes back to Google photos? Would I have to download each file one by one them import into LightRoom or can I sync right from Google photos into Lightroom?

I believe Jeffrey's plugin already supports Google Photos: Jeffrey Friedl's Blog » Jeffrey’s “Export to PicasaWeb” Lightroom Plugin.

Here's the first paragraph of his documentation:

This plugin allows you to export images from Lightroom directly to your Google PicasaWeb (AKA “Google Photos”) account.

To build on Wolf's reply: I have used Friedl's plugin to export to Google Photos.

Jeffrey is quite amazing that he apparently built the plugin before the Google photos thing was public.

Google Photos is essentially just a rebranding of the photo sharing functionality in Google+, which itself uses Picasaweb (they're kind of interchangeable).

So yes, Jeffrey's plugin works perfectly well with Google Photos: I use it myself for this purpose.
