Details
Local folders can be easily uploaded and kept synchronized with Picasa Web Albums (PWA). Other plugins for easy photo uploading exist for Picasa, e.g. Facebook and Flickr. Its picture search engine makes it easy to locate photos based on folders, file names, and captions. Picasa also integrates a photo library backup module which saves Picasa's collected library data and which makes it possible to easily migrate this data to another machine.
As of October 2009, the latest Picasa version is 3.5, which comes with face recognition and clustering creating a locally stored "People" database which synchronizes with PWA (existing people tags can be downloaded from the user's PWA account).
