Help No option to enable Picasa sync?

I had a Note 1 and found this option very useful to show pictures for business purposes. Now I have a Note 2 and when I go into my gmail account, I have a "sync google photos" option but not "sync Picasa" like I did on my Note 1. Why does this phone not have it, or is it located somewhere else? I've researched this for 2 days now and can't find an answer. Thank you.

Go into Menu/settings/Google/choose your account, then scroll down, Sync Picasa is the, simply check mark it.
 
As stated in my orig post, it is not there. everyone is saying that's where it should be and it's not. this is what I have for sync options....
app data
calendar
contacts
gmail
google currents
google photos
google play books
google play magazines
google play movies and tv
internet
people details

there is sync picasa option in my sync settings!
 
Is your Picasa account linked to that email address, it has to be synced the the same email account, if it is try a reboot and check again
 
yes my picasa is linked to my gmail email. i had this setup in my Note 1 with no issues. but for whatever reason it is not a feature on my Note 2. am I the only one in the country that doesn't have this on their Note 2?
 
Hi
It would seem that this has been renamed.
Ive had a look at my settings this morning and as youve stated the Picasa option isnt there.
Ive look further and found that if you enable the google+ photo option this will backup any photos to google+ but will also make the photos available in picasa at the same time

Hope this helps..
