Gallery to Picasa Tool - Galaxy S4

[AC Question]

I have been using the Picasa Tool on my Galaxy to upload pictures from my phone's gallery. I am running out of space on the phone but am afraid to delete the pictures from my phone that I have uploaded to the Picasa Tool because I'm not sure if they are not stored in my phone twice. Can anyone help?

Hello. Camera shots synced to Picasa or Google Photos are saved to your Google account. Check Settings - Accounts - Google - Sync Settings - Picasa, or Google Photos is checked and turn master Sync on.
You can go to your Google account on a pc and check them there.

You can also drag your photo files to a pc via usb cable from the devices DCIM folder/s; or using the Samsung Kies (sync and/or back up) or the Samsung Smart Switch pc program to copy them that way.
They usually only sync in one direction, so once you're sure they are offline, deleting them from the S4 will not delete them from your Picasa (more recently called Photos) account.
