Since google has pushed my stored picasa pics to google+ ( what was that again) they have pretty much ballsed it up. Any good alternatives ?

Am confused by your post.

I have a Picasa Web Album that has nothing to do with Google +

I also have Picasa 3 which is for storage, editing, etc. on my local PC

I did notice the Google recently moved all my Google Docs to Google Drive

If you are looking for a photo hosting site there are many out there such as Photobucket or TinyPic

Thanks. Does photbucket have a good front end like picasa?

Issue is i have a "can see with link only", which i can send to my family. When i take the link ( and not logged in), i can see all the pics, but when i send to the link to family, all they see are pics i have allowed to be publicly shared (i.e. my diving pics). Real weird. when you click the link, it re-directs you to Google+ where it shows the pics.............. ( but only the public ones )

i have this myself too, real weird and random

Drop Box is an excellent format for this.
