Picasa Web Albums will be retired tomorrow. That means the only place to access your special Google+ albums is the Google Album Archive (get.google.com/albumarchive)

Albums you created yourself can be found in both the Album Archive and Google Photos (photos.google.com).

Albums that can only be found in the Google Album Archive

* Google Profile Photos (shared by Google+, YouTube and other Google products)
* Google+ Photos from Posts
* Google+ Photos of You
* Scrapbook Photos (Google+ Cover Art)
* Blogger blog albums
* Hangouts chats images
* Hangout video call image Captures
* YouTube Channel Art

The albums bolded above can be found at the top of your Album Archive album list with, and are easy to identify with the special icon. The others are mixed in with your other albums, which are ordered by creation date.

How to find your Album Archive from Google+

1. Sign in to Google+ and click "Profile" on the left menu

2. On your Profile, click the "About" link to the left of the "Edit Profile" button (only available in the New Google+)

That will open your About Me settings (aboutme.google.com)

3. Find the "Your Album Archive" card and click "See all"

Or just go directly to: get.google.com/albumarchive

Brand Accounts and Google+ Pages

The Album Archive supports Google+ Pages. You can either:

* Sign in to the Album Archive with the Google account that manages the Google+ Page, then click your profile photo at top right to switch identities.

OR

* Open your Google+ Page's About me settings, as described above for Google+ Profiles, then follow the link to the Album Archive

What you can do in the Album Archive

* You can NOT change who the album is shared with

Adding, moving and sharing images must be done from Google Photos (photos.google.com)
