You may want to check the TOS at http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/terms.html I believe each user must have their own PWA account. There are other ways of accomplishing this while still complying with the TOS. For example why doesn't your internal process collect/reference the photos needed from the individual accounts after their images uploaded?

My application allows the user to login through Google using the Authsub method and making use of their API. When logged in the user can upload photos. What I want is that the users all use the same account so that my application uploads the photos and I would like to have all the photos in the same Picasa account but that the users would not be able to make changes e.g. delete without my permission. Question 1. What type of authentication can I use so that my web can upload photos? I was thinking of using ClientLogin. A quick summary of how it works would be: The user logs in to my application, puts in his/her login and password (using Authsub) and then uploads a photo. The system would connect internally through ClientLogin and upload the photo to a centralized account... Question 2. What would happen if 20 users wanted to upload a photo all at the same time? Can you have 20 ClientLogin connections to the same account at the same time? Thanks in advance for your help!
