Photos and Picasa
(The Google + paradox)
• Picasa and Photos are two different apps that use the same picture albums. If you upload to one the pics are in the other.
• Photos is the default app for Google + users and Picasa is the default app for non Google + users.
• Both apps are accessible to Google + users and have slightly different features, only Picasa is available to non-Google + users
Photos - Easy to share/upload, but difficult to order prints Make a Movie of Your Pics: Animoto |
Picasa - Easy to order prints, more steps for upload on other devices
