The producers have no commercial expectations. That's why ZebDisk doesn't contain any malicious code, and any ability to collect information.

Google provides APIs for their services to increase the usage of these services, and to help new applications to be developed. Picasa service is one of them.

You can see sample projects at Picasa Web Albums Data API.Theoretically ZebDisk is not different than these samples. Sharing Photos, which is the main purpose of Picasa, can be done via ZebDisk.

So, the only difference is that this software can place other files in these photos. Theoretically, if someone has the right to store data contained in his/her photos using Picasa service, he/she has the right to store photos created by ZebDisk that contain other data.
