I uploaded all my pictures to Picasa which i think is googles cloud service for pictures (correct me if im wrong) and i have like 167 things i uploaded. Well i wiped my sd card so i have no pictures but when i go to gallery i have 76 photos labeled dropbox. I was wondering if that is different than picasa, or if its just another name for it cause it does have the picasa symbol on it. Also how can i get all my other pictures and videos to stream to my phone so that I have them. Thanks

Ok so I can't seem to find an answer about this. With automatic sync for camera -> Dropbox, dropbox automatically seems to create an album for you. On the left side on the dropbox website there's a link called "Photos" which is all the photos you've ever uploaded from your camera. I separate my photos after being uploaded into different albums (private relationship photos in its own folder for example), however, regardless of moving the location of an image after its uploaded it ALWAYS stays in this album, which unfortunetly is synced on the phone.
My worry is someone I show my phone to could simply click Albums from the Gallery app, hit dropbox, and immediately see any of my private photos.
Is there any way to move photos OUT of this gallery? Or stop the gallery from showing up on the phone? You can delete an image from this gallery on the website, but then it deletes it from your dropbox entirely.
Hello,
I use Picasa much to save my pictures, and I have a problem with the S3 :
My sync is functional because my Picasa albums appear.
But, when I want to upload one or more photos, I can't select the destination album.
And if I try to upload it anyway, I have a message like "unable to retrieve account information".
I had many android phones, and never had this problem? Have you ever met this?
Bonus question: under ICS and its new photo album, Picasa photo files do not appear like the Picasa website (cover photo, album order ...). Do you know how to manage the display order of albums in the gallery? and choose a cover photo? thank you

It's same with all account use same login than gmail.
All my photos and videos get backed up with google photos. In my storage it says its taking up 9gb. So I can go to my Gallery app and delete my photos and videos, but they will all still be in my Google photos account correct? I'm running low on storage, it would be nice to free up 9 gigs. Thx
Yes they will remain backed up to google photos. Make sure they are Really backed up first. I just deleted mine from my Nex5 and they are all backed up.
I've been getting these random pictures creating their own albums. Some have up to 25 in an album but usually I have like 26 separate albums with only one low quality picture in it.
Album titles usually just have an random set of letters and numbers and some say http. I'm assuming it's from a reddit app I was using so I deleted it to test to see if that is the issue. Now yo go through my Google photos and delete them as they automatically backed up even though it's set to only over WiFi.
Will report back if the reddit app is the issue or not.
Many apps or icon packs or wallpaper packs can add an album to your gallery.
Just add the .nomedia entry to the folder holding the pics.
Here is a thread about it..

So i just came back from a holiday in Japan. As i am using a google pixel, my stored photos automatically goes to the google photos app. but the app is not synced on the cloud (meaning i never signed in with google photos) as i don't intend to use it as a cloud storage, but just a normal stock photo storage on my phone.
So after the trip, i created a new album and sorted out the best photos out of the trip and put it there. I named it "for profile pics photos"
Now, the storage memory is getting full, so i moved the photos from the camera folder to my harddrive through Solid file explorer, but i didn't touch the "for profile pics photos" album.)
When i checked the google photos app, the "for profile pics photos" album is gone! i was shocked and i was looking for the specific photos everywhere. it's gone. My best pics from the trip is gone! i am so pissed.
I double checked in the harddrive if the photos got transferred there but it wasn't. it just got lost!
I also checked the trash in the google photos, it's also not there!
How can i retrieve those photos? why is google photos like this. is this a common problem for a google phone?
Just for what it's worth and because no one has replied yet, I haven't had this problem but I only don't use Photos' backup option on my non-Pixel devices. On my Pixel devices, I use the free full quality backup. On my non-Pixel devices, although I use Photos as a gallery app, I use Mega with its free 50 GB of cloud storage to backup my pictures and videos. It's not as seamless as with Photos.
I should also add I haven't done the exact steps you have on a phone where Photos isn't set to backup automatically.
