Sven, You seem to know a lot about Google Photos and Picasaweb technologies, so I am reaching out to you for a solution to a problem I will have when Picasaweb goes away. I have thousands of photo albums of real estate listings, accumulated over many years, with unique ID numbers for the album name for my real estate business. I reference these photos in my database again and again using the Picasaweb URL for each album which includes the ID number. How can I used the same album name ID numbers to reference these albums in Google Photos?
For example: My username BKListings. I have one album with the album name called P3152128. I can easily reference this album by adding the Picasaweb URL prefix "https://picasaweb.google.com/BKListings1/"; to the album name, resulting in https://picasaweb.google.com/BKListings1/P3152128. .This allows me to go directly to the photos from my database, smartphone, or anywhere. Since Picasaweb will no longer be available, how can I do the same thing using Google Photos? I just need the URL prefix for Google Photos so I can easily update the links in my database. But, the album names must remain the same, or I will no longer be able to access the years of accumulation of thousands of album links that I need for my business. Similar to Picasweb, what is the Google Photos URL prefix I should use?
