Yea, so I use G+ a lot, and I post bunches of pics, so my Picasa has hundreds of folders that are all labeled by date. On my Galaxy Tab 10.1 I could choose in my accounts to sync Picasa, and then they all flooded is. If I unselected syncing Picasa, they all went away. Great!
Well, on my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (4G), all of those folders are there regardless of the option. I have checked and unchecked multiple times, nothing. They all stay. I want them gone.
Any idea why these are there, why they won't leave, and/or how to force them out?
Thanks...
Add a file called .nomedia in the folder where the album arts are stored and the gallery will not show that folder's images.

Does the .nomedia file simply hide the unwanted files or does it keep the files from being written to the folder ?
The .nomedia will hide them. If you want to not sync them at all go to settings > accounts and sync > your gmail account >and remove the check mark from picasa web albums.
There is nothing to check ore uncheck from picasa web albums. The only 2 things (in settings > accounts and sync) that can be check. They are backrounddata and auto synchronisation. I had unchecked auto synchronisation but all picasa files was in galarie folder. Background data I need for other apps. But here -> settings > accounts and sync > your gmail account is no place for make check mark or uncheck.
That the reason I dont understand why my picasa web alben where automatically syncht.

Did you change your pixel density? I have mine set to 140.
Check auto sync in the previous screen and then try

No I dont change the density. I have an Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus P6200. Do you have an Galaxy Tab 7.7 with higher resolution?
The autosync in previus screen is unchecked. Only bachground data is checked.
Edit:
I see another difference. Under the Points Gmail sync, Calender sync, Picasa sync and so on is a line that say: Now type in order to synchronize (tippen um jetzt zu synchronisieren). But i never touched this for picasa before. I only touch it yeaterday long pressed to see if I can choose not synchronize but no long press do nothing only start to synchronize again.
Edit 2:
OK, I found it. On first side autosync must be checked and after this on the second side the check boxes appear.
Hi guys,
I put .nomedia file into the folder that I want to hide, but gallery still show picture & video. Do you have any ideas?
Clear cache and all other and stop the app in application menu. After that alle files are gone.

We wrote an app that syncs any files or folders with the help of dropbox according to the schedule.
Now it can only upload files/folders from phone. But it will be able to download from dropbox also soon.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fakeofarty.dropbox.scheduledsync&feature=search_result
not compatible with my HTC Wildfire. Post the APK?
i tried it out with my Samsung Galaxy S and Darky's ROM.
Nice first Version!
When i sync manually, there is only a small popup that says: Upload OK. A Notification would be nice.
Why is there no End-Time when syncing should stop?
Sometimes, when go to Schedule Settings, change the time and go back. And then check the Schedule Settings again, my changes havn't beed saved.
Make it compatible with my Wildfire
Or post the apk
Nice app. Could be nice to have "Sync only if charging" as an option.
This is spectacular! Thanks dude!
Somebody post the APK please
I'm unable to select a folder on my HTC Thunderbolt. I can select individual files, but clicking "Add Folder" doesn't do anything at all. I stay on the same screen.

Hi, apk will be available in 8 hours, when i came to home
Find it on fakeofarty.info
To pick up a folder you need to install ES File Explorer, we're planning to add support of more file managers in the future.

To stop syncing you should remove file from the syncing list, did you mean this?

Syncing starts at the Time set at 'Start at' and repeats every hour (or whatever is set), but when does the syncing ends?
Or do i missunderstand it?
Syncing never stops, until you stop it by pressing "turn off ScheduledSync"
2-way sync??

Thanks for the good idea.
Are u implementing a full two-way sync (including file deletion), or adding a download one-way?
I'm really looking for a full 2-way sync, that's currently missing in the Android space. If you are impleming a proper one, you could be in a very good commercial position!!!
Installed on my galaxy ace... android v2.2... helas...upload sync is NOT working... connection to my dropbox account is ok acc to app... why ? no error msgs...
edit: excuse me... it IS working but you first have to press the 'turn on' button before the 'sync now' is running... which is kind of confusing !
Pls add status message when syncing like animating the wheel f.i. as user has no idea what is happening..
Thanks for the nice app... and awaiting 2way sync..cheers
Force closing
Little bug :
Android force closing the application if I start manually a synchro when phone is plug in USB and it's mount as a mass storage.
PS : Great application for backing up all photos to a dropbox...

If you disable the Google Photo sync to remove Picasa albums, you loose Google+ upload photos function.
I have the same problem. I tried deleting some of the pictures straight from Picasa and now , where I deleted the photos I get blank spots in my phone's gallery . Also, as you stated disabling the sync seem not to work.
If somebody has found a solution we're waiting for an answer.

Use this one instead the original. First make backup of the original app, then push it with the ADB.
Can you please let us know what edits were made to this apk?

As long as you stopped Google photo sync, try clear cache in Google+ in setting will have picasa albums cleared.
I had this problem as well, after a bit of googling here's what I did and it worked for me (I was offline during this process!):
1. stop google photo sync in accounts & sync settings
2. go into the app drawer and drag the google+ app to the top where it says view app info
3. force stop it and clear data
4. do the same for the gallery app
after that I restarted the google+ app and restored my settings (keeping photo sync off when it asks you on startup of course) and the picassa albums were gone!
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I unselected the photosync from account and mounted as USB. Then when to android folder and then to Gallery 3D. Then I went to cache and deleted the files that had picasa in it and unmounted the phone. Then went to gallery from manage apps and deleted data and cache and voila ! =)
1. Make sure your "Google photos" option in "Accounts and Sync" is unchecked.
2. Go to Settings > apps > All Apps > Gallery. Now hit the "Clear data" button
3. Go to Settings > apps > All Apps > Google+. Now hit the "Clear data" button
4. Go to the Gallery app and hit the menu key and refresh.
5. Your albums won't go away immediately. Patience.
I got same problem, here my solution,
Remove that account (after sync all contents you want).
Disable Sync.
Add your account back.
Enable Sync and then fast disable Google-Photo sync in that account.

Cheers, worked a treat!
Or
simply observe Sync 'on', delete album from g+, re-sync, turn off sync.
Any solution which doesn't include turning off Google Photo synch?
For normal galleries, adding a .nomedia file in the directory would normaly do the trick.
Does someone know where the picasa pics are stored in the phone? (they're accessible offline too, right?)
In previous android phones I could easily disable contacts sync to Gmail, leaving them only on phone.
But now in Nexus 5 I don't see such option to remove check in "contacts" check box.
Everything syncs by default.
Maybe it's now hidden somewhere else?
Or google did remove this option?

It's there - stock 4.4 rom. Go to Settings > Accounts & Sync > Manage Accounts - and find your gmail account, tap it and sub-menu open, you can uncheck contacts, photo, drive, music, etc. (same is my older HTC running Gingerbread)

Thank You for your tip
Oddly I didn't find option to turn it off there, but I did find it here in Nexus 5:
Settings -> Storage -> Apps -> Google Contacts Sync disable this application to prevent synching People with Google Contacts.
Problem solved
Hello,
I have tried factory resetting my GS 8+ and the watch to start from scratch, but the watch will NOT pull contacts from my phone or sync messages. At this point, I feel there is nothing more I can do, so I am asking here.
Is there some magic I can pull to get this to work? Sucks I cant look at conversations or contacts on my watch.
Anyone?

Hello, I'm now experiencing the same issue with a Note 8 and upgrade to Tizen 4 on a Gear 3, did you get a resolution to this issue? Thanks.
Same here, except for contacts, they came back after I reinitialized the watch again...
Hello all, so following a comment regarding new contacts got transferred to the Watch, I thought what can I do for all my contacts be transferred to the watch. I thought what can I do, well deleted my contacts in my all accounts. So I did the following, but use at your own risk:
1. Backed up all my contacts in all my accounts on respective websites, google, office etc.
2. Tested I could restore above backups
3. On my phone, deleted all the contacts in all my accounts
4. Wait until the accounts resysnc
5. Import backed up contacts into each account
6. Wait until the accounts resysnc on your phone
7. Wait until the accounts resysnc on your watch
8. Repeat 5-7 for each of your accounts
Hopefully a fix will be released shortly.
Got them to show up!
So, I basically did what cabbage65 did.
It appears that the only contacts that were showing on my galaxy S3 classic watch were the ones I added AFTER the tizen 4.0 update. So, we need a way to "re-add" all of our current contacts. Just back them up, delete your contacts, then import them from the back up file.
-I backed up my contacts from google to a .csv file (after you export it, make sure the file has all the info in it before you delete google contacts! Jut open it up and see); exporting is incredibly easy to do, once in google contacts, click on "more" on the left side menu and "export" should be there.
- delete all your contacts; simply select one, then on top menu you'll see a few new icons to click, one will give you select all options. then delete them.
- after that, go back to that "more" options on the left side menu, and you'll see "import" right next to where export was.
The only thing that sucks is you can't back up and import profile pics. So if you have any pics, you'll have to reapply them. I had 340 contacts, all are now showing up on my watch after this process (non with profile pics). I had profile pics for about 40 of them, which, when I have time, will do from my PC on google contacts instead of my phone. But this process works, no ifs, ands, or buts. And the profile pics do sync to your watch if you add them after importing contacts. I have tried it and it works like a charm.
Good Luck!
When I take a photo it is synced from gallery to google photos
When I take a screenshot it is not always synced, and sometimes I have to go into the screenshots folder and manually sync.

In Google photos, settings/backup & sync/backup device folders. Enable screenshot and/or any other folders you want backed up
