Hi,
I faced the same problem - the decision by Google to close Picasa
application.
They send an email suggesting to move to Google Pictures.
I joined this application and it provide the same features as Picasa. When I
joined the application, I found that all my Picasa albums were transferred
automatically by them.
If you make pictures with your smartphone, there is an option to
automatically save them at the Google Pictures.
There is also a possibility to add comments, to each picture , which is
degraded relative to Picasa. But it works.

Hi, Miriam.
I used to use Picasa, too. It is annoying when these things change all
the time.
The simplest thing, is just to migrate to the new Google-supported
app/service:
Moving on from Picasa
https://picasa.google.com/
Of course, other services are also popular, e.g.
--Flickr is even more widely used for sharing images
How To Get The Most Out of Flickr
https://www.flickr.com/get_the_most.gne
For that matter, one could create a Facebook page.
Also good:
--Tumblr
The Beginner's Guide to Tumblr
http://mashable.com/2012/06/03/the-beginners-guide-to-tumblr/
--Pinterest
How to Use Pinterest for Beginners
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2418047,00.asp
All depending on what interface, functionality etc. you need.
I hope this is of some use,
Jim
