>> Hello all,

>> Yes, this <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picasa#Picasa_Web_Albums>
>> clearly mentions that GDrive, G+ and Picasa Web Albums use the same
>> storage. So yes it is of no use to have 2 different plugins to upload to
>> the same web storage. As Gilles said, this will unnecessarily lead to code
>> redundancy.

>> share the same storage and hence might get confused as to why we have
>> totally removed the option of uploading to Picasa Web. We can do one thing
>> that when the user clicks on Upload to PicasaWeb, we can show a dialog box
>> informing the user that Picasa, GDrive and G+ use same storage and then we
>> will redirect the user to GDrive export plugin. This way there will be no
>> doubt to the user. What do you think ?
