  2. Hi,

    Glad that this information was useful for you. I too have been on the look out for this option and got it just when I desparately needed it. I have successfully moved my google+ circles to my Google Apps account. I have also moved my photos and albums in Picasa Web to my google apps account, but that is through Picasa web itself.

    Kannan.
