Once it's setup, the sync is done for you. It requires a few different steps to get it set up though. Picasa's flexible functionality is all you need to organize and share your photos.You can automatically download your photos from Google Photos (I believe Google+ photos end up there, correct me if I'm wrong) fairly easily. Picasa's editing options may not satisfy advanced users. The application is free, easy to use and it can be installed in a matter of seconds. It allows you to create montages and collages and it can sync our pictures to Google Plus. You can also sync a folder's contents to your Google Plus account, by simply clicking a switch next to the folder and share it via direct link. They allow you to play the contained pictures in a slideshow, create a video presentation or a collage. Alternatively, you can jump directly to a specific folder, by selecting it in a column, on the right side of the interface.Ī series of options are available for each folder. You can just scroll through your pictures, using the mouse wheel or a scroll bar.

The contents of the folders are displayed on separate ribbons, in the central area of the user interface, which makes it quite easy to browse through your pictures. Once the scanning process is complete, the application will organize the found pictures in separate folders, according to their creation dates. Picasa will offer to scan certain folders or your entire Mac for pictures, when you run it for the first time.

The application comes from Google, so naturally, you can expect to find a wide range of useful features, which can make your life easier. Instead of using a different application for each operation, you can use this universal tool to organize your pictures, create collages or slideshows and much more. Picasa can be used to perform nearly any operation that involves pictures.
