In Picasa, I create an album for each event and then add the appropriate photos to it. I sort all of my photos by event, so I already have folders on my computer with names such as "Mom's Birthday" or "Thanksgiving 2009". The best way to upload large quantities of photos into PWA is to use the Picasa client. Most of these methods have limitations of how much can be uploaded at a time. There's a whole bunch of ways to get your photos into PWA, including the web interface, email, and mobile device apps. With PWA, it's not really a "backup", more like an "upload". the public through a link (anyone who has the URL can view the album).individuals with authentication (they must have a Google login).You can adjust these settings at the album level, and choose to share with: PWA does have security settings for who is allowed to view your albums though. PWA is designed for public sharing, so you won't find any kind of encryption included like you will for other backup tools. This is regardless of how much storage you purchase. At the moment, you can have up to 10,000 albums, each storing up to 1,000 photos. Within PWA, photos/videos are stored in albums. Any additional space you purchase will be shared with other Google products, such as Gmail and Google Documents. After that, you can pay for additional storage at Google Paid Storage's paltry rates. PWA accounts come with 1GB of free storage. I could probably write an entire post about Picasa and its features, but I'll save that for another time – I'm here to talk about saving photos to the cloud today. Its facial recognition features are particularly amazing. I have tens of thousands of photos in my collection and have tried many different photo organization applications and Picasa is the best I've found so far. The best way to upload photos to PWA is to use Picasa, Google's desktop photo organizer.
PICASA WEB HOW TO
I've been using it as a form of backup for about a year now, and after browsing the "help" section I see that Google has included notes on how to use PWA as a backup as well. It's designed as a platform for sharing your photos and videos with others, however it also does an excellent job of storing them in the cloud and letting you retrieve them with ease.
Unlike the other solutions I've covered, PWA is not explicitly intended to be a backup solution.
Today's topic is Google's Picasa Web Albums, henceforth known as PWA.
