![]() Maybe Google would be interested in helping by releasing a free dataset as even Yahoo did (/post/89783581601/one-hundred-million-creative-commons-flickr-images-for) and similar to the fotopedia collection. ![]() We'll then need a discovery to find all 21-digits user IDs who ever posted public Creative Commons images and dig their albums to find and download them. This might also provide a list of user IDs where further free images can be found. Wayback has 320k URLs, so we should extract the photos which were already archived and are in CC. There's also no way to search or browse Picasa Web by license, apparently (the feature used to exist in 2009). There's no way to mark Creative Commons images on Google Plus. In fact, users and albums are often forced to "migrate" to Google Plus, without telling them that any Creative Commons marking will be irreversibly destroyed in the process. The "migration" was deceitfully sold as non-destructive, while stuff is actually killed in the process: see next section.ĭespite illusions in 2008–2009 that it was a fair player, Google is now trashing free culture by making all the Picasa Web images in Creative Commons vanish from the web. Picasa Web Albums can still be accessed through, although its future is uncertain. The official Google+ Page's Gallery: March 2013, redirects to Google Plus. The copied link will include your user ID number. If you have a Custom URL for your Page, alt-click or right-click your profile photo on any Google+ post or comment and copy the link address. If you have not set a custom URL, it's the last part of your Page URL. ![]() ![]() Your Google+ page ID is a 21-digit number. Because there isn't any way to switch to a Google+ Page identity in Picasa Web Albums, you'll otherwise have to construct the URL. If you sign in to your Google+ Page directly, you can find it the same way you do for a Profile.

You can share a link to individual images or albums, but there is no publicly accessible "Gallery" you can use to showcase your photos to the public.īut never fear! Your photos can also be found in Picasa Web Albums, which does offer a public Gallery link. I think Google Photos is pretty good for basic image editing and album organization, but it's designed for private storage and sharing of your photos. If you figured out the link to your Google+ album gallery page, you could share it. That worked until last week when all Google+ Photos links started redirecting to Google Photos. In December 2013 Google+ removed albums from the profile Photos tab, changing the profile design to display photos of you and "Highlights". Learn more about how to use the Album Archive. You can share a link to the Album Archive for others to view your public and shared albums. All albums can be accessed in the new Google Album Archive. Note: August 1, 2016, Picasa Web Albums will be retired.
