There are external drives that tablets can access, even an iPad. The Seagate Wireless Plus is a 1TB external hard drive that can be accessed via wifi. In the case of Android tablets, many, such as the Nexus 7 I have, can access an external drive via a special USB cable called an OTG cable.
Also, there is a Picasa app available for Android tablets & phones but there shouldn't be any reason you couldn't access the Picasa website from a browser on any table.

I will look into those hard drives ... good to know! What software/Apps do you use to access files on the external drives?
But, the Picasa I'm referring to is Picasa3 software for Winows or Macintosh - it resides on the computer to manage the library of pictures on the computer. The website is altogether a different animal. Picasa3 software is only available on Windows or Mac - no mobile app.
OK, I'll take your word on Picasa since I don't use it. I just see that you can upload your pictures to the website and view them in albums there.
There are apps in the Apple and Android app stores that will allow you to access the files on the Seagate Wireless Plus drive. It's also possible to access the files via a browser.
