It seems that picasa is going by the wayside. I have years of photos there and can not figure out how to move all of them to google photos. I can do an album at a time but that will take me many days and patience I don’t think I have. I don’t want to say good bye to all my photos. The articles I have read says to go to google photos and your pictures will be there but they are not, only a few.  
Can you help me?
