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

I just cleaned my photo gallery on note 4 from duplicated photos, i did that from samsung gallery app
If I open google photos app i sill see all my deleted photos and the same thing is via web browser
How can i sync deleted photo, cleaning my online backup?
On device photos are saved on SD card
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.
Hello guys,
Today I got a strange error which I am pretty sure that worked yesterday and before. In my google photos app, I cannot see screenshots folder anymore, instead screenshots are in the Camera folder together with camera photos. I checked and both folders are in DCIM folder on a system, separated, one is "Camera" and one is "Screenshots" folder, but in the app, they are together in one "camera" folder.
In the gallery app, everything works fine, I just want to sync Camera album and not Camera+screenshots album on my drive.
Thanks
No one still?
Hi everyone,
1. In Samsung Gallery, how to remove the Albums and Stories button (tab)?
2. [WhatsApp\Media\WhatsApp Images\Sent] this location images should it auto show up in Samsung Gallery app? I notice they do not show up. I notice if I take a photo and photo appear in DCIM folder and then I select the photo and send photo to my whatsapp friend, immediately a copy of the photo appeared automatically in [WhatsApp\Media\WhatsApp Images\Sent]" folder, at this point i can see the photo in Gallery, after this point i delete the photo from my DCIM folder and i no longer see the photo in Gallery, photo in [WhatsApp\Media\WhatsApp Images\Sent] not deleted.
Thanks.
