Picasa Web album Sucks!

Posted on January 3rd, 2007 in General by daya

I have been Google lover, and have been using all the Google service as they come out.

When they came out with their Picasa web album invite, I am one of the few who crabbed it first and have been enjoying their service.

I finished my 250Mb photo upload option in few days  Since, my storage limit has finished, I had only two option, either to delete the photos I have uploaded, else, upgrade my storage by paying so that, I could upload new photos.  

Hence, I decided to pay and opt for 6 GB storage, Since, the time, I have upgraded my storage to 6 GB, for last 15 days, trying day and night, all that I could upload was mere 2 MB of photos, while the free 250MB storage of photo were uploaded in a day or two.

I checked all that possible tweaks, and tricks, even try to use the web browser based upload but not use. I wrote to Google, as usual, when in trouble, Google never replies.

Tried their forums, groups, help, FAQ, no use at all.

The worst think happen is that, I recommended Picasa service two of my friend, who just like me, opt for the paid upgradation of their storage, since, they also, have similar story of not able to upload any photos or if at all they could do just one photo in a day.

So As on now, just sticking back to flickr and riya photo upload service.

So, dear user, be careful, think twice, before upgrading to goggles Picasa 6GB or any paid storage.

If any one of have a similar trouble share it here, or if you know a way to get around this let us know

    thank god, i did not buy picasa web album additionl storage. Picasa Web is very expensive also other than it sucks- Flickr offers unlimited storage space for $25 an year while Google wants you to pay a dollar per GB. I really find no convincing reason to switch from Flickr to Picasa Web Album since long time, this adds at another reason.

    Picasa is by far my favorite photo management software. Flickr is the best online photo sharing site and software. So, drop your stupid picasaweb account, take a account at flickr, and read this article, to find out how you can use picasa to upload photo to flickr. that will do the trick

    picasa web has got to be the worst google product.
    flickr, though lot better than picasa web, sucks big time. all it can do is show the image on 10% of the screen and junk on rest of it. such waste of real estate.
    why not go for smugmug or zenfolio. unlimited storage and DVD backup if you crash your disk.
