| why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | anndeb10 | 8/6/12 3:03 PM | I used to send my picasa albums easily to my friends. Now if my friends are not on google plus list they can't receive them. Who in the world is running this show? I've been successfully sending albums for several years and little to no problem a |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | Kirby1 | 8/6/12 8:18 PM | I have the same problem. Today I cancelled my Goggle + thinking that everything would return back to the way it was. I still have Picasa and the photos I have downloaded to Picasa, but can't get to my web albums via Picasa. Like anndeb10, I don't kno |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | Phil KL | 8/7/12 6:41 AM | Hi anndeb10, Doomed? Nah, at least not right now but it hard to know what they have in mind down the road with Picasaweb. You can still share the old way that you are accustomed to but it takes a few extra steps that's not so intuitive. 1) Don't d |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | YuvalAvni | 8/15/12 5:13 AM | for some reason i don't have this option: "Share via email only"Is it only me or did Google disable this option??? |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | DGSM | 8/15/12 5:58 AM | I had share by email on Sunday but it is not there today. |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | asadovnik | 8/15/12 7:23 AM | Me too, Had it on Monday, but yesterday it was already gone. Any ideas? |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | DGSM | 8/15/12 8:46 AM | Google have obviously withdrawn this facility. I am copying the link from the album address bar and pasting this into my email to the recipient. When they click on the link, the album is opened in Google Plus. If the 'here' is clicked in the little y |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | Talon. | 8/16/12 1:00 AM | You are correct and when and the one that gave the instructions to go to the bottom of the share page obviously has not tried it lately because the "share via email" is no longer there. I just used it yesterday and now it is gone. You can type an ema |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | Phil KL | 8/16/12 5:13 AM | That would be me. Yep -- guilty as charged for not updating every thread I had suggested this to in a prompt manner. It would be nice if the helpers get advance notice of changes but we do not. As you said the feature was certainly there as even o |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | NancysBrother | 8/16/12 3:48 PM | I really miss the "share via email" functionality and would like to see Google reinstate it. It's irksome that Google doesn't give any advance warning when removing useful features like this. |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | jmkerisit | 8/18/12 1:25 AM | I have the same problem and feel very angry! I do not accept to be enforced to use google+ and to enforce my friends to do so as well. If no solution, I will cancel my g+ account and migrate all my photos to another solution. Google guys, still time |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | surrell | 8/18/12 4:33 AM | Very angry as well... exploring my options on a another platform... Been using picasa for years and sharing pictures with customers via web albums link. I do not want them to join google+ nore do I want to share a google+ account profile. That is w |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | dsav | 8/18/12 8:06 AM | I also very angry. What a stupid and short-sighted change.Way to chase your users (and supporters) away Google - I'm also investigating other alternatives. I'm tired of this removal of features and half baked idea's.Why would you do that? Sav. |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | CJFM | 8/18/12 10:51 AM | I agree I hate this new system, have spent hours trying to figure out something that used to be so simple |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | thlmuc | 8/18/12 1:16 PM | I have the same problem! No more possibility to share albums via e-mail - why? |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | thlmuc | 8/18/12 1:26 PM | I definitely do not want GOOGLE+ or any of their new whatever programs. I am investigating other platforms and will cancel my Google account in spite of extra paid storage. |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | mike smith. | 8/18/12 2:06 PM | I can see this thread is turning into something really negative If G+ is really not for you, have you thought about removing it from your Google account here at https://www.google.com/settings/account I quote from https://plus.google.com/downgrade |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | dsav | 8/18/12 6:01 PM | Of course this thread is negative Mike. Google for some reason and without notice removed a function that many found useful - sharing our photo album links via a nicely presented e-mail. You solution is a valid option - and assumes that the intent wa |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | mike smith. | 8/19/12 12:52 AM | Hi Dave Okay you have a point ...the share invite ..example https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-g1OPcc4tK0k/UDCZd9tByxI/AAAAAAAAwJw/eRXx0NuYkYE/s00000/Fullscreen+capture+19082012+084032.jpg is not as attractive as the old share invite, something I gu |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | dsav | 8/21/12 5:24 AM | Apologies for the slow response. Ok, aside from the fact it wasn't obvious to me that you could enter an e-mail address when using share (did the hint text just change - because I can't remember seeing it before) and the backwards step regarding th |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | jerleenel | 8/21/12 7:58 AM | I agree that removing the Share via Email Only was a big mistake by Google (and it ticks me off). I have used Picasa Web Albums for years and have shared many photos with friends and family. Almost all of them don't want anything to do with Google+ |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | dewenhsu | 8/21/12 11:58 AM | "share via email only" is very usful. Picasa web album is much better than G+ album. oogle, please.... return this function as soon as possible !!! "force" people to use G+ is not a good idea... |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | mike smith. | 8/21/12 2:30 PM | Hi Dave What can I say, all these changes started over 20 months ago with the users encouraged to create Google profiles ...I remember creating this at the time https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iPiCvWRNTsU/TQ3c3E2NurI/AAAAAAAAkOw/IObtTVPWb1Y/s800/ |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | dsav | 8/21/12 3:32 PM | Very happy to see it return - it hasn't quite reached me yet, but I guess it's being deployed.Does the invite look like the old Picasa invite? Dave. |
| Re: why can't I send via email my picasa web albums anymore? | dewenhsu | 8/21/12 11:03 PM | This new kind of G+ "email share" is linked to G+ album, not Picasa web album, |
