Gallary App - Box.net photo albums - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
i could of sworn that i read somewhere that the gallary app had integrated file storage sites, such as box.net into the app. so basically, i could see my albums from box.net in the gallary. This would be similar to how windows phone lets you see your skydrive albyms in their photos app.
I didnt see anything in the gallary settings, nor did anything chane when i installed the official box.net app. anyone know if this is possible?
i used to keep all my photos (years of cell photos from all smartphones i ever owened) on my sd card on my S3, but since this doesnt have it, i uploaded everything to box.net.
Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone?

[Q] Having issues uploading videos to Facebook

I have not been able to upload any videos on Facebook. It looks like the video uploads but it never gets posted. I am just wondering if anyone else has this same issue.
The same issues. My girlfriend has a FB account. She uses my phone to take videos all the time. When I try to upload them for her, it says the file is too big. I have to do it from the computer.

[Q] How to get rid of some gallery pictures?

When I ran Gallery for the first time the gallery contained a Picasa album folder which I don't want to show. I disabled syncing of picasa under google and the pics remained I went to picasa google + etc. and deleted the folder but it still shows on my tab pro even when I look at picasa with other devices the folder is gone. I tried restarting the tab pro and the pics are still there. Any ideas how to get rid of them?
Go under the gallery menu and pick contents to display, unchecked picasa

Media Scanner Issue

Hi all,
I recently bought a Nexus and I tried transferring all of my music and photos from my S4 to this phone. It worked except I can't view the photos in gallery. Whenever I download new pictures or music to my phone, the gallery and music apps do not update their libraries. Is anyone else experiencing this and is this a known issue? Does anyone have recommendations?
Thanks!
EDIT: I feel like such a noob. Lol. I forgot all about the ".nomedia" folder I created and every time I copied my files, I always ended up overlooking that folder. Anyways, it's fixed now.

As of yesterday I am having this issue. The gallery is showing no photos even though the files are there when using a file explorer.
Also the ringtones are no longer detected in the ringtone folder which meant I missed a few calls as the ringtone defaulted to "no ringtone"
I have tried downloading a few apps that force a media rescan but these all crash due to the way kitkat 4.4 now only allows system apps to call a full media scan.

You might want to try certain media apps like a gallery app. QuickPic for example allow you to choose the location in which the app should search and show pictures from. This can be a general base location. And when you have found a picture you can go to the details and find out the exact location. Unlike the default gallery app (or how it used to be?) QuickPic shows images categorised on folders there in. For video files tr MX Player or another app that will play most formats. MX Player for example should also show all your video files on your phone in folders and the locations in detail view.
Storage analyser apps are also available. they scan your phone storage and show you how much of your storage is filled with audio/video/pics and where that is placed. A less visually attractive but in my opinion a great tool to get a clear view of where you have a lot of MB/GB's you have store is using "Storage analyser" But for finding specific file types this is not the one you need.

ITS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE! Thank you so much for the advice. I bought mx player pro and downloaded quickpix and storage analyzer and it was like magic. All my files that went awol on me lost their hiding places. You are truly a scholar amongst men. I appreciate your time and knowledge.

creative usage of Google photos unlimited storage

Hey all,
Since Google Pixel owners get unlimited cloud storage for videos/photos, this got me thinking. Anyone have an idea if there's a way to make a video file we have be indexed as a video/photo to be uploaded to that unlimited cloud storage space?
I'm referring to movies I own (not through the Google play store or Amazon/netflix, etc...), so that I can stream them from the cloud without using up my phones storage space.
You might be able to change the meta data to show that it was recorded with pixel, I'd check your recorded videos meta and see how it's setup and see if you can mimic it.

Pictures and videos do not need to be taken with a Pixel. Only uploaded.
That makes no sense, anything uploaded to Google photos app with pixel regardless of the meta is part of the free storage? I find that hard to believe.

I don't know if they get backed up at full resolution or not but any picture I add to my phone, whether taken with the Pixel camera, downloaded, copied over from my computer or those from my previous phone all get backed up to Google. If I add it, it goes. I never used Google Photos until I bought my Pixel so I know those that are backed up from my previous phone came from my Pixel. Not the M8.
As for videos not taken with the Pixel, my guess is they would have to be converted to a compatible format. One that the camera uses, in order for them to get uploaded. I could be wrong though.
Google photos backs up anything from your phone regardless, I would try adding a downloaded video checking the storage space, and seeing if it is affected, if it is I would recommend editing meta-data and seeing if you can edit it to look like the pixel produced it, but if not seems like a huge flaw.
