Can anyone suggest an app that views cloud storage pictures? Something like picasa. It syncs the thumbnails to the gallery and downloads the picture when you actually click on it. I'm having many issues with picasa lately, and want to be able to just use something like dropbox, box.net, ect to drop pics into. I don't want something that just syncs the entire folder to my phone. I have gigs worth I would rather not have to download them all unless I'm actually using the pics. No Google+ please. I like it, but most of the people in my real life don't use it, so it's hard to share pics with them that way.
Thanks for any help!
JustPictures!
yes,
Theres an app called JustPictures!
(I can't post links, search google/market)
has most of the sites in it, and you can email the devs to add more
I have also been on the hunt for a good app to sync all of my pictures to from my phone, so I can easily view and download them on my computer without plugging in my phone. Any suggestions?

I just checked out just pictures. Good idea, but it didn't support drop box, box.net, Google drive, or anything like that. Just Flickr and regular picture services. :/. Thanks though.

What is everybody doing as a workaround for the blurry contact pictures problem that results from syncing your contacts with gmail?
Sense does a pretty good job of masking the problem in some versions, but it's terrible in AOSP ICS.
Are you all just putting up with it or have you disabled contact syncing with gmail or employed another workaround? I'm curious how everybody is solving this problem for themselves.

I personally use Haxsync to sync all my contact pictures from FB, works great

When you sync your contacts with gmail tho, doesn't it compress them and make them pixelated? Or does Haxsync bypass this somehow?
I just put up with it. I used to sync with syncmypix then disable the Google sync, but then I decided that having my contacts backed up was more important than having nice pics.
Curious to see if anyone has a good solution to this.
Been using haxsync now for the last 24 hours or so. It seems to work around the gmail sync problem. My pictures are significantly higher quality now, though they could still be clearer.
HTC broke the contact photos in ICS. I use Haxsync too.

It's a server side thing, the only possible 'fix' is if the Gmail team bumps up the contact resolution. The resolution was bumped up in Jellybean but it only works offline, so once you sync then you're back to low res crap.
I just deal with it though, can't be bothered to do something that should have been done in by Google in the first place.

Well that's a bummer. Oh well.
I remember reading somewhere that if you upload your contact pics directly to your Google account via web browser on a PC, the contact pictures come out clear on your phone.
But honestly who could be bothered to do that? Obviously not me since I can't confirm that this workaround actually works.

I tried that once and it doesn't make a difference, they will still blur as soon as you sync

I always use an app called HD Contact Photos, and donated a buck for the extras, it lets you use higher quality photos,up to i believe 512x512 ie Stock Photos for stock ICS and if you are using HTC, you can download Facebook and/or Twitter pics and those will be higher quality, as HTC did somehow break HQ FB pics in ICS
i keep high quality contacts on my SD Card and manually link them. They stay clear and perfect even with Google Syncing.. Though new ROM = lose them and have to do it again...
looking for a way to back them up.
Can anyone tell me how to get good looking caller ID pictures?
When I synced my contacts with facebook quality of the pictures were terrible, so I got some pics from my Nikon, crop and resize them to size about 1000x1000px and still they don't look really good when calling :/ Maybe I should use different resolution of these pics, or something...?
Since I don't have facebook, I can only tell you how my friend did it. He used FriendCaster from play store, and ticked option to synchronize HD pictures from FB. That gave him good looking photos in contacts Now he is using haxsync for sync, which also gives such option, and disabled sync in offical FB app
If you have any troubles with those apps, let me know

Hey mates, well we always need to share/send file through mobile device, so what application you use in high frequency?
To me:
WeChat -> send pictures to friends
Bluetooth -> send file to friends/phones
P.S. I want to know more about the way how a file get into mobile, and do better work at file management. Please do help.
I'm usually send pictures and music through WhatsApp, but in my opinion a good way is Dropbox, because through WhatsApp, the audio files doesn't keep the original name and most people don't manage the files in the SDcard as well as the people who are used to be "geek", if you know what I mean, hehehe
I send files with SuperBeam or I upload them to box.com
i use superbeam.
to extract installed apps, i use ES fileManager.
I use MEGA and Whatsapp or Telegram or Gmail
Mega for me

Whatsapp's the most easy tool, but if we're talking about cloud storage, I use Mega, it has a lot of space (50Gb) and it's absolutely private
I use WeChat and QQ

Tried, and we find out something good, so here you can see new improvements in our product, the Download Manager part.
Would be nice if you could send full res photos on whatsapp, but that is never gonna happen. Hopefully Telegram will support this in the future?

Hello,
I noticed that sending mass pictures and videos using Samsung messaging always looks pixelated and blurry (More so videos than pictures). I've tried link share and that always fails. What is the best method everyone is using to share their photos and videos in their full and clear resolution? Iam not interested in flashing or rooting my U.S t-mobile branded Note 20 Ultra and really prefer to stay with the stock Samsung messaging as I like all its other features except for this.
Rooting or flashing? Lol. Are you new to phones? Texting is an old fashioned way of sending media. Don't want compression? Don't text. Use WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, google photos to share your media. Texting will compress the heck out of everything.

Yup, WhatsApp

I didn't notice this issue using google messaging in the past. That's why I was trying to see if Samsung messaging somehow was the culprit in this case. I do have WhatsApp and Viber but not FB Messenger so I'll check out those two. I'll just have to convince the people on the other end to download those apps I guess. If RCS messaging was standardized across the board by now this problem would not exist. In the mean time Apple has the capable iMessage without any of these issues. By the way I'm not new to phones and a quick search shows a lot of people having the same challenges..

IMessage uses the Internet to send media whereas texting uses the phone network.

Since Mozilla closed their Firefox Send service, I'm using Samsung link share that's built-in.

I couldn't get it to work as it kept failing. Most likely because I was impatient and trying to share tons of photos and videos to a bunch of people all at once. I wish there was a better option outside of apps (viber, whatsapp etc) that was built in and wouldn't require people to download any of those..

Unfortunately no. You'll have to upload it to a website with full resolution storage. Imagine if millions of people sent full resolution images, we'd run out of storage in a few minutes lol

1. Download an app called Telegram, the setup process is same as whatsapp. Now the person you want to send it to should also have the app.
2. Then click on the paperclip icon and select "FILE" then select "GALLERY" choose the picture or video you want to send. This way the images and videos would be sent without compression.
If you got an amazon prime subscription, you get unlimited cloud storage for picture in original format and size with their Amazon Photo app. You may then be able to share link through it
I found the way thanks to an Italian friend. If you need to go to a full resolution file with whatsapp just go to the attachment symbol, select documents and then move to the photo folder and select the file. Obviously it will arrive uncompressed but it will load it in more time.
For sharring videos use app Venlow and you will be surprised.

Are you sending to android users? If so just use Nearby Users

Apple and Android users.
I actually use link sharing. It sends the file to the cloud for a couple days, and creates a link that you can share. The limit on the file size is 5gb.. View attachment 5115885
