How to Move Photos from Picasa to Box?

Last Updated :

Box Inc is an online cloud storage and file sharing service that caters to individual users as well as businesses. Box service is built for file sharing and collaboration mostly for professional users. It offers more extensive storage plans than other online storage services. Their plans start from 100 GB for $5/user/month with 2GB file upload size limit and customized unlimited plan for $35/user/month with 5GB file upload size limit. Picasa is a photo editing and organizing website which allows you to backup photos and videos. It offers 1GB of free storage space to store photos and videos. You will get more space on Box cloud storage service than Picasa.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
