Can anyone tell me how to show only contents in device in stock gallery app permanently?
I changed that in option but it lost after close app
You mean not showing Picasa pictures?
If u meant not to show external card photos,
you shall create an empty file in the /storage/extSdCard (main dir of external sd) with the name:
.nomedia
(dot at the beginning)
If media scanner finds such a file in any dir, it recursively avoids its content.
So it'll avoid whole extSdCard

Yes I mean that, and not showing photos in facebook, dropbox,.. I just want photos in the device (include sdcard)
You just disable sync with Picasa Web album. You will need to stop the gallery app for refresh the gallery.

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.
My problem is that i'm using another app than the camera to capture video and pictures into the DCIM folder. Thus Android doesn't pickup new pics and video in the DCIM folder.
to fix this, I need to run "dev tools > media provider > scan sd card" to fresh. or reboot he phone to force a refresh each time. Then i'm able to see everything in gallery etc...
Is there a way to force this media scan to happen every 1hr? ie in the build.prop or something? I do have root access..
thanks.
A simple solution would be to use QuickPic. It's better than the stock gallery app in all aspects imho
+1 for QuickPic
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
How do I make it not show all photos from other apps in the gallery? Before lollipop, only photos taken with camera app were shown there.

You can try other gallery apps, or you can create a ".nomedia" file with the archive in the folders with the photos you want to hide.
I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy S7 running Nougat. The problem is that when I go into my gallery from my camera app photos appear from other folders that are in my sd card. How would I fix this issue. I just want photos that I took with my camera to show up.
You can go to the folder you want to hide in gallery and make a new file named .nomedia
Folder should now be excluded from mediascan and be invisible in gallery.
