You can still use the Picasa Desktop software if you have it but it'll never get an update, nor can you get support from Google if you have a problem. If you used the for any online storage, all your images have been shunted to Google Photos. Sadly for some, Google Photos also replaced our former Editors' Choice photo software, the desktop program that Google acquired way back in 2004. (Naturally, you can at $2 per month for 100GB extra or $10 per month for 1TB.) Google Photos came about by salvaging the best part of the Google+ social network that no one wanted to use-the photo storage and sharing. If you pick that, images are not converted, but they count against your allotted 15GB of online storage with Google, which is shared with Gmail, and other Google services. (It downgrades video shot above 1080p.) There is also an option to upload images at 'original' size. You are allowed to upload larger images-but Google converts them on the fly to 16 megapixels. The caveat: they have to be less than 16 megapixels to qualify for the unlimited storage. Google Photos offers truly unlimited backup of all the photos (and videos) you take. It's worth downloading the mobile app for some extra peace of mind. But has grown pretty fast, topping per month after two years of existence. You're not at a loss for services that automatically back up photos and provide access to them on any device. Apple's Photos app is available on every iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch running iOS 7 or later, and every Mac running macOS/Mac OS X 10.10.3 or later, as well as via iCloud on Windows.

Open the Google Photos app and select the photos you want to share. With Google Photos, you can easily share an image, album, movie, and story with anyone through a link, even if they don’t use the Google Photos app.
