If you're an iPhoto user and want an easy way to upload your pictures from iPhoto to Picasa Web Albums (Google Photos), then check out Google's Picasa Web Albums Exporter iPhoto plug-in. The plug-in is available as part of a package from Google's Mac tools site (if you don't use iPhoto, you can use the standalone Web Albums Uploader program to upload your pictures to your Picasa albums). Once installed, open iPhoto and either select an album or specific photos you want to upload. Then click File -> Export and choose the "Picasa Web" tab. The plug-in lets you upload the selected photos to a new album, which it will then create for you with a title and description that you can specify, or to one of your existing albums.The plug-in makes short work of sharing your iPhoto pictures via your Google account. It even allows you to choose how to scale your photos during the upload (better quality, faster upload, actual size) which is helpful if you're on a slow Internet connection. The plug-in will also add any keywords or descriptions you've added in iPhoto to your Picasa Web Album!

This is fine and dandy, but what I really want is a Mac version of Picasa! Please Google please! I hate iPhoto.

I'll second that. Picasa rocks on PC.
There is a Picasa upload utility for the Mac but you have to use the Finder to locate the pics you want to upload.

The main limitation to me is lack of video support for Mac users of Google WebAlbums. Add video and life would be better. I'd like also Picasa for Mac, but I can work with iPhoto too, especially now with "Events".
