I recently saw an app on Facebook with the name of Folder Lock for Android. The publisher claimed that it can lock and hide photos, videos, audios, documents, notes, contacts and other miscellaneous files that need security. Above all, they are giving that app for FREE. I want people of this forum to test it and tell me is it reliable.
Thats kinda demanding

I hate how I used Google plus for awhile and now it always has an "instant upload" section. And how there is various other categories from other things i have used over the years. I have tried deleting everything in the picture folder except for the actual pictures themselves and reinstalled roms, no matter what the various categories are always still there. What gives? Is it the way they are tagged or something?

I'm talking about the first screen as soon as you open gallery.

Same, i'd like to know.
Try logging into http://picasaweb.google.com with your google account.
This is related to the "sync picasa web albums" setting in accounts.

Ok that did help me get rid of the instant upload category. But all my other dated categories have the picasa web symbol on them but are not listed on the picasa site.

seems like restaurants I have saved in People are all doubled.
I tried to delete the doubles, People/Menu/Manage/de-duplicate.
It did delete a great many, but many restaurants are still duplicated; and the entries are exactly the same, near as I can tell.
Ideas?
I think you can go onto Gmail/ contacts and remove duplicates or type it in google and you'll get your answer.

Try a program called wondershare Mobile go . It will merge your duplicate contacts.

I should have been clearer. It's only affects contacts on phone. Gmail web mail contacts are all good no duplicates.

Wondershare mobilego is a free app you install it on your PC. It doesn't matter where the contacts are it will merge them. Even if they're on Google or your phone.

within People on the phone, one can select Menu/Manage Contacts/De-duplicate and more or less get the job done.
But the odd thing was is that there were dupes on the phone, but not on the google webmail/contacts tab. Nor OSX Address Book.
Is there any way to sync facebook profile photos in to the phone gallary ??? like google photos has or seems to be taking place of gallary app.
Hm i dont know but you can save it from Facebook.
Open the profil photo an use menu button an save the photo to gallary

If I understood your question correctly and you wanna sync your Facebook friend profile pictures with your contact pictures on your phone, I personally use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syncme.syncmeapp and find it quite good, it does what it's supposed to.

Seeing as the storage space on the Moto G is so limited, I'm wondering if there is a way to keep all of the camera pictures in the cloud only. I tried deleting some from the gallery but they disappeared from the cloud as well. Do any of you guys have a solution for this?

What i do is that i "share" them to gdrive, once they finish upload i delete them from my gallery. The pictures on drive won't delete by doing that.
I'm not currently running my Moto G, but this sounds like something that might be achieved with FolderSync. It's possible to set up one-way sync, then just delete the local copy.
You can also store them to Dropbox, Flickr, or one of the other photo storage apps.

I use the Google+ auto upload feature. Simple.

Yes but then if you delete them from the phone they get deleted from the cloud as well.

No they don't. I do it every day. Once they are auto uploaded you end up with a local copy on your phone and a new version in Google+.

Well I am finding Google+ to be more cumbersome compared to just manually uploading to Google drive every so often. I like how I can create folders on google drive. I'm actually going to resize all the photos in my entire library so that I effectively get unlimited Google drive storage, plus the files will be easier to download.
Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk
You can organise Google+ photos into albums. But your Drive folders should show up in Google+ and the Photos app so it's win-win.

This. After losing family pics to stolen phones and bad wipes. G+ photos was a life saver
So I discovered a great Windows application called "FastStone" photo resizer. Here is what I did with it:
1. I did a search for *.jpg in my photos folder (I had a lot of folders unorganized, about 80gb worth over the past 10+ years).
2. I copied and pasted all of those jpeg files into a new folder I created called "Photos to be resized for google drive".
3. I ran FastStone photo resizer and set the options so that it would rename all of the photos by date, and also resize them all so that their longest side was 2048 pixels. I left the jpeg quality at 90%.
4. I grouped the photos into folders by year.
5. I put everything into my google drive folder.
Now I have over 80gb of photos in my google drive folder and still have all of my space unused because the longest side of the photos never exceeds 2048 pixels!
Thanks everyone for your input. I'm really enjoying google drive and the moto g. 8gb is more than adequate with all this cloud storage.
Unfortunately I have to update this because the photos have to be on google+. If you leave them on google drive then they count toward your quota.
You can have the 'photos' app set to auto upload, which I initially thought would be good until I also found out it uploads all your videos too with no way to tell it to ignore certain directories, so if you store any videos on board that might be a problem.
