Help! How do I recover my OLD Picasa photos? ?

I used to use Picasa for my photos all the time, but then they discontinued Picasa, and I lost access to all my Picasa photos. I now get notices from Google saying that people who had Picasa accounts can get all their old Picasa folders back by going through Google, but that hasn't been the case for me. I can't get back any photos that go back more than a handful of years. [Only about 200 photos, and I had MANY THOUSANDS of photos on Picasa!]

So does anybody know? How do I get back my Picasa folders that date back more than a decade? Please help me!

    it's possible that not all of those photos were actually uploaded to Googles servers, and were only there on the computer in Picasa.

    you would need to try to recover them from the hard drive you were using then.

    it's a shame, i really miss Picasa, too. not sure why they discontinued it.
