I remember seeing that with FROYO we could link to Google Chrome and auto transfer files from the PC to our phone wireless over WIFI. Has anyone got this to work?
Here is a link from Ekostons He has it all in one place with directions. http://droidgawk.com/2010/05/22/froy...e2phone-links/

So, do I need to install an app on the phone too? ---- I guess I'll try it.

yup, you need to install the app on the phone and the extension onto google chrome browser
Mine only opens the map but doesn't pin to the sent location?

good job, makes it easer
I didn't find the directions too difficult to follow...though they didn't really make it very clear that the apk needs to be registered first.
However, even though I register the app on my phone with my email address, my computer still says unregistered. Any ideas? I'm using google apps with a custom domain. It took my login, it just said it was unregistered...
Good guide EkostonS. I got it working. But uhm what's the purpose for this chrome-phone extension? It just opens up the link on the phone? Perhaps I am missing the bigger picture, haha.

did u click the link in the guide to login on your computer? step 4 or 5? cant remember not looking at the guide at this time.
you must login to that for this to recognize to send.
and the point is to send things from your comp to your phone.
such as, MAPS, LINKS, VIDEOS
watching youtube video and ur leaving? send to your phone.
want to bookmark a site on your phone ur viewing on ur pc? send to your phone
and one of my fav's
want to download a cd torrent on your phone? download a torrent app on your phone, send the link from pc to phone and download !
works great with maps
I also made a video of it. I like this new froyo feature!!!
Sorry my Macro switching sucks!

Thanks for the guide. Maps direction doesnt work for me though.
On my Galaxy S3 and S4, whenever I took a picture, it would immediately upload it to Dropbox using the camera upload feature in Dropbox.
I have the same settings on my Nexus 5, but it only seems to work when I open the Dropbox app. It does not happen automatically after I take a picture. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but it still seems to have the same issue.
Is this a Nexus 5 or Samsung thing or is something not working here? Can anyone else confirm that they are or are not having this issue?
Thanks!
I am having similar issues. Seems the app is not auto uploading immediately or at all.

Probably. KitKat can be a little aggressive with the memory management.
Can anyone say whether or not this was working properly on the Nexus 4? That would help determine if it's a Samsung thing or a Kit Kat thing.
Thanks for the responses so far! If I can get some more info I'll try contacting the dev.

Dont know how it would be a samsung thing. They are both made by LG, but I did not have any issues with my nexus 4 uploading automatically. It was on 4.2 and 4.3, I never used it on 4.4.
My last two phones were the Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4. I had instant camera upload on them so I am not sure if Dropbox is supposed to work the same on Nexus devices or if Samsung/Touchwiz has something else going on that helps it.
A good example is Facebook sync. It works on Touchwiz but not on the Nexus 5.
If the Nexus 4 never had instant camera upload I guess I can't expect it on the Nexus 5. I'm hoping that's not the case.

Dropbox camera sync works fine without me opening the app. I switched from a note 2. On the note2 the upload was almost instant.... On the n5 there is a few minutes delay on the sync.

I just double check my setting again. The auto upload is on, set to Wi-Fi and data. The only difference I saw was. It limit me to 2.5 mb or smaller; you have to go and change it to all photos.

Thanks - I checked my settings again as well. I have tried Wifi only and Wifi + Data, with no change. The size limit only shows when you set it to Wifi + Data and the only options I see are "Under 25 MB" and "All Files". The phone doesn't take any photos near 25 MB size so that should never be a problem.
I am noticing this exact issue on my Nexus 5. I'm glad I caught it before I started deleting videos off my device. I record videos of my kids every day (using that 1 Second Everyday app) and I rely on Dropbox to upload the videos automatically. I delete videos just assuming the are on dropbox. \
Hoping for a fix...

Today's Dropbox update did not help.

Odd. I have not noticed any issues. I just snapped a pic in my office and the picture immediately appeared in my Camera Uploads folder on my computer. My settings are Wifi or Data and files under 25 Mb.

So after I installed the Dropbox update yesterday, I ran the app and then tested...same thing...no camera upload.
Today it seems to be working properly. Perhaps it needed a reboot to reset the background services? There was a SuperSU update later yesterday that I rebooted for...
Can you guys test again, after installing the Dropbox update and rebooting, and see if it's working for you now?
Thanks
DropBox is uploading pictures I take almost immediatley. No problems here
It seems to upload fine after a reboot, but after a while the background auto-uploading stops and only resumes after launching the app...

Yeah that seems to be the exact same thing I'm finding.
After a reboot it works fine...then a few hours later, nothing, until you open the app.
Dropbox upload is working fine for me, but I use Google + photos for backing up my photos and videos. Seems better for me.

Things that you can do:
1- Clear Data + Clear Cache + Force Stop (All can be done from App Info) then Restart app and see if it works.
2- Uninstall then install Dropbox again (reinstalling)
3- Clear Cache & Dalbvik Cache from the recovery
4- Flash a custom kernel(Franco Kernel)
5-Wait for an update from Dropbox (maybe a bug)
Hi there!
As many of you already noticed, the new Lollipop's Photos app doesn't work without Google+.
For many of you will be not a big deal, but for me and may be others too, it's really not god.
In my case I don't need or use Google+ and for worse, it takes a lot of CPU power.
The question is if there is a way or workaround to make the Photo app work without Google+?
Greetings!

Hey, no worries!
I've tried to use the old Gallery app from KK which actually works without Google+. It shows the photos but the editor doesn't work.
So, the way I see it, Google is forcing people to use Google+...

Try Piktures on Google Play, nice piece of sw
The old Gallery app made my Picasa albums available on my phone. The only way to get this functionality back was to switch to Google+ and the Photos app. So I made the switch. I just didn't set up anything in Google+ and turned off all notifications.

It seems to be a nice software, bur if you want to edit a photo, it takes you directly to the Photos app.

You still need to have Google+ installed, isn't that right?
Install Quick Pic its a good gallery app,to edit and go crazy install Pixlr Express.
I never used stock Gallery since we cannot hide/exclude folders.

Oh sorry, didn't think about editing - because I always use Aviary for it (and I suggest it to you too, especially now that are giving every single add-on iAP for free!).
It takes you directly to Photos because you have only that app to edit pictures (I suppose), in my situation (I froze G+ and Photos) when I try to edit a picture it opens automatically Aviary.
Hope this can help, prego!

You need G+ and Photos to see photos and edit them, I replaced both with Piktures and Aviary And trust me, every other editing app has more feature than the stock one (Aviary, Pixlr express, PS, etc)!

Hey everyone! I have a problem with every N rom i've tried, that in some app like google photos, the default wallpaper picker, and the inbuilt file manager, lot of my camera pictures (from a specific date), and some of my wallpaper folders doesn't show up. But in other apps like totalcommander or Quickpic they are there. Do you guys have any ideas what's causing this? On MM roms everything works fine, and i haven't read anything like this from other users. I would appreciate any help or idea

Are your photos dependent on Google Photos? Maybe they're in the cloud and can be accessed on another device.
Also, use a root file manager to search your device for all *.jpg.

The stock gallery app has a heart shaped icon you can select to create a folder of your favorite pictures. Recently and seemingly randomly, my entire favorites folder disappears and all selected photos become unselected. So far, it has happened twice this week.
Anyone else try this yet? Does it work for you?

Yes I have had this issue and its very annoying. I lost all my marked photos and have to search them all again in the gallery. Not sure if this is a bug in EMUI 4.1 because I haven't upgraded yet to EMUI5. If it's still there in EMUI5 then Huawei is yet to address it.

Well bro , i wonder how he is doing. Even i do need a update from him now:highfive:
This is so frustrating! I tried the following and nothing happened:
- Editing a favorite photo using the stock editor
- Editing a favorite photo issuing Lightroom
- Sharing a favorite photo via sms
- Sharing a favorite photo via Facebook
- Viewing a favorite photo via Google Photos
- Restarting the phone
Since none of that caused the favorites folder to disappear, I moved on with my life and over the next few hours, I did the following:
- Phone calls
- Browsed the web
- Sent text messages
- Played music over Bluetooth
Just as I had nearly forgotten about this issue, I decided to check one more time and now the favorites folder is gone again! I have no idea what caused it but it's now the third time in the past 2 weeks. I only recently started using that feature but it doesn't seem to last for more than a few days for me.
Anyone else have any feedback?
