Somehow, I have folders with photos on my PC, which have synced to Skydrive photos, which are now synced to my WP7 (Focus). I wish to discontinue this. How do I remove synced photo folders from Skydrive?
Also, when I open “Pictures” on my WP7, the device seems to randomly pick photos to display as wallpaper. I don’t want this to happen with certain folders. Is there a way to exclude specific photo folders on my device to be used as wallpaper in “Pictures”?
Thanks,
Dave
To remove the skydrive pictures, you need to login to your live account (live.com).
for the second query, go to the pictures hub and long tap on the top left where it says pictures. you will get 2 options, change background and change it for me. choose the picture you like in change background
Awesome! This will flat-out work to stop the “Pictures” app from using photos not of my choosing as wallpaper. The pictures in question however are not Skydrive photos, but reside in folders I have synced via Zune. I would like to be able to select specific folders from which wallpaper could not be selected, but this is certainly a solution to my dilemma.
I actually desire to remove all Skydrive photo folders from Skydrive and thus, my WP7, but I can’t figure out how to do this.
Thank you for your help,
Dave
I'm guessing that you want to remove the pictures that you synced to skydrive using your phone:? If so, you can logon to skydrive.live.com and remove them

No Sir, not so much. I want to remove all of my photo folders from Skydrive. I don’t want the folders to show-up in my Skydrive. More importantly, I don’t want any folders entitled “from windows live” to show-up when I go to “Pictures” on my WP7. It makes absolutely no difference to me if I achieve this using my lap-top or my WP7. I wish to use only Zune to sync photos to my WP7.
Thanks,
Dave

Hello,
I dont think you can remove the folders saying Skydrive camera roll and "from windows live"..
I think Camera roll is a default. I want to remove the photo folders I have added to Skydrive.
Thanks

Photos from PC
I'm not sure if this discussion is finished but here is my experience. Whenever I view photos on my PC and then later do a sync of my WP 7 phone all the photos in the directory I was looking at sync to the phone. Why? Then I try to delete them off the phone and they delete from my PC--aaaah
Same problem i deleted all photos on windows live/skydrive account, but the album still with the same pictures in the phone...
How in the world can I delete multiple pictures FROM PHONE? I don't want to us zune or the cloud. One could've done that in 6.5.
I would also like to select multiple photos at one time to share on FB or through MMS.
Any hack available?
Not possible in this version of Windows Phone. Its a pain we all are going through.
Thanks man...
Why is it so difficult to get it done? I am really liking the mango OS but it has this lil' things that annoy the heck out of me.
Hey guys
Ever since I did a clean flash of CM10.1, I've had problems with Dropbox and it's photo syncing feature.
After starting up the phone after doing the clean flash, I noticed that all of my pictures had been deleted for some reason...so I hooked the phone up to my computer, and transferred the pictures directly from my Dropbox Camera Uploads folder to my phone...I then turned on Camera Upload in the Dropbox app and it notified me that it was uploading 273 of my pictures, even though all of my pictures were already synced to Dropbox and I had just copied them over to the phone.
They removed the option to clear current uploads so I can't stop it without turning it off...
I really like this feature but turning it on will force it to upload a ridiculous amount of pictures that ARE ALREADY IN MY CAMERA UPLOADS FOLDER...
Any ideas? I emailed Dropbox, got a response, sent them more detailed information and they've basically ignored me ever since...Thanks a lot Dropbox!
Thanks,
Elliott
Bump...guess I'm the first person with this problem?

Hey guys, I just recently got the Idol 5.5 and can not seem to figure out how to organize my photos into separate albums like I've been able to do on previous phones. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? Thanks in advance!
I haven't tried the gallery app, simply because I'm using "QuickPic" a universally recognised gallery application that lets you view and create albums and is greatly customisable! You might want to try that
I wish it was more compatible with Google Photo. Right now, it tells me to open Gallery to delete any photos
Hi there,
I am not able to find any photos in QuickPic Gallery cloud app which I have backed app. There is almost 50GB+ and I am unable to view it. I am also trying to access from Web view but there is also nothing showing. I read one XDA thread saying that CM Cloud is taking down their server in April 2017 (but photos were backing up till last week i.e. 28th December 2018) and they informed users to restore their data. but last week I came to know about it and I also didn't get notification in QuickPic Gallery app about the same.
Is there any solution? that will be a big relief. Thanks!!!
I'm facing the same problem. I have around 43GB of photos in there. Now I cannot access too, I didnt know about them terminating their service, else I would have back up first. No notifications or email.
Same here, it's backing up the pictures, but I can't view any of the backed up folders.
My Solution:
1: Go from your Windows PC to https://cloud.cmcm.com and login with your CM Cloud login from QuickPic
2. On top click on the link "How to download photos from QuickPic"
3. Follow the instructions
4. Rename the downloaded fotos with an exif-tool
5. done!
hi fehrcomp, thank you so much for sharing. i did login and didnt able to restore from quickpic. it shows : {"ret":-1,"data":{"message":"wrong token","error":5}}
what did i do wrong?
I lost about 3000 pics using Quick Pick and CM Cloud... I log in to the CM Cloud and the pics are not there. If you have a chance, get your pics out of there, quickly!
I'm just downloading my photos as we speak from that **** of a cloud service, as I have recieved notice about CM shutting it down (and it should).
Note that in order to see your pictures, you have to login into https://cloud.cmcm.com/p/disk/ and look for a folder called CM Qickpic, and in that folder theres a folder called "Original Photos". All my photos are there, and I'm using their even more **** of a tool to download it...
Hope you guys get your precious stuff and get the hell out of there ASAP!
P.S.- Anyone already using a similar (prefferably more stable and trusted) service? I'm syncing my stuff on Google Photo at this moment...
Best of luck!
@fehrcomp
4. Rename the downloaded fotos with an exif-tool
How did you do this? my exif seems to be deleted/incorrect for some pics
Already done,all my pics was downloaded followed these guide above.... thanks guys.
@tintumat
I had correct exif data. Otherwhise you could not use a exif tool.
@keeekeee
You tried an other browser?
Awesome, glad to hear!
Can anyone help in this ?
i have 10 years of photos there 134gb cannot access them, the only way that worked for me but still suffering was installing bluestack on my PC and then install older version of quickpic, login and then i see everything i started to download the pictures and now im stuck because bluestack allows only 65gb of storage and im still half way restoring, no luck through their ****ty website!
If anyone can help in this will be appreciated.
I can't even login, when I use the link provided to login from a computer I get "You have logged out, please log in again". The pw is correct because when I am using a bogus pw (for testing) it actually shows me that the email or pw is incorrect. How can I login? I even reset my pw 2 times, but I can't login. On the phone it works, I see the pictures, but I cannot download them (restore failed).
I have a total of 4.9 TB of storage at cm cloud, whereas the used space is about 5 GB, but In cloud there are only 19 photos remaining.
I backed up all the data from the cloud before the service shut down but I was curious if they deleted our data, and they didn't, and also there is no option to delete your photos.
