How to Synchronize Picasa

Share your Picasa photos by synchronizing them to your Picasa Web account.

Picasa and Picasa Web let you organize, edit, tag and share your photos both on your desktop and online. These two Google products are designed to work in tandem. You can upload and synchronize individual albums and folders of photos from the Picasa software on your desktop to your Picasa Web account. When you synchronize a Picasa folder or album, any changes you make to its photos on your computer will be automatically reflected in their online counterparts.

Instructions

1. Launch the Picasa program on your computer and wait for it to load all photos.

2. Click "Albums" or "Folders" on the left side of the screen and click an album or folder you want to synchronize to Picasa Web. This displays the photos in that album or folder in the main window.

3. Click the "Sync to Web" slider bar above and to the right of the photos you want to synchronize to Picasa Web. This displays a sign-in window.

4. Sign in with your Google username and password, then click the "Sync" button in the confirmation window to upload and synchronize the photos.
