Hi, I was looking for the same thing for my web site. After reading the API overview, I think it's technically possible : create one or several albums for each user (I think there is photo/ album limit), upload photos to these albums and store URLs or references in your database.
But, reading the Terms of the Picasa Web Album API, I've found that : "5.9 In order to use the Picasa Web Albums API with your service, all End Users on your service must have previously created their own individual Picasa Web Albums accounts. You must explicitly notify End Users that they are accessing their Picasa Web Albums accounts through your service. In other words, you may not create one or more Picasa Web Albums accounts for the purpose of storing images on behalf of users without those users creating their own individual Picasa Web Albums accounts." For me it's quite clear you CAN'T do what you want, except by telling your end users to create their own Picasa account and make them authenticate from your app (the API have this functionnality) to use it. So you can do it, but it will not be transparent for your end users. I guess Flickr service has similar Terms..
