This has been driving me crazy for the last couple hours. I transferred some files from my camera using the play memories app like i normally do with nfc. These pics normally get uploaded automatically to google plus with autobackup, but for some reason the app thinks the photos have already been backed up (btw i hate the new integrated all pics view I liked being able to tell where my pics were without having to got to a folderstab).
I have tried sharing the pics with the google plus app and the photos app but both want me to make a post that is shared. I don't want to share the photos, I just want to upload them to a private album I already have set up. I also tried uploading individually with the stock gallery app to "photos" it asks to confirm my account I click the upload button and nothing happens.
Please tell me I'm missing something and the geniuses at google who made an awesome photo sharing/manipulating/editing app didn't forget the part where some people like putting their folders into albums and sometimes you want to back up some of your pics and not all of them.
I really wish you could select a few pitcures and hit a backup button that put those pics into a backup queue that follows rules you have established ie, upload only on wifi, while plugged in, at this size.
Please help

I have two folders in my gallery called profile photo and instant uploads, I don't know what they are for and I don't know how to delete them. How do you delete them?

same here, will give a try with root explorer..
I tried looking for them in root explorer but I couldn't find them.

These are likely directories created by an application you have installed or that came installed by default. Find this directory using root explorer or any other file browser then create a file in this directory named ".nomedia".
By doing this, you'll stop android from treating this directory as a directory containing media files (audio/video/photos) and after a reboot you shouldn't see this directory and it's content in your gallery.
It looks like its for Google plus but I don't have a Google plus account.

That doesn't really matter, it's just a folder created by an application. If you do a search for the directory and find it, do as I said and you won't see it anymore in your gallery.
The Instand Upload is an album that your photos are uploaded to in G+ photos / Picasa Web. The Profile Photo one is also for G+. It sounds like you have your photo sync on. If you don't have a G+ account, they may just be artifacts of having the photo-sync turned on.
Polobunny's suggestion is interesting. I've never tried it but I'll definitely keep it in mind.

Works wonderfully, I use it "often" for programs that have image files that get picked up by the gallery. Just make sure the file is named .nomedia without any extension and with the period before the nomedia.
I had photos in my picasa account so I deleted them and it fixed it.

solved... got account sync on with picasa album, unflagged from settings>account> tap account and deflag google photo sinc and reboot
Doesn't really work for me, that's one of the main reasons I disabled the gallery completely. Even when I clear the data and lose the web albums, I uncheck photo sync it still syncs them as soon as I click refresh in the gallery.
Thank you all for your overwhelming support extended in trying out my android app "HiddenEye". Those who have not tried this amazing app, you should visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847822 and give it a try....
I would like to collect some idea's and new feature requests for HiddenEye to take it to the next level. I am putting in some requests i got from few xda members. thanks to them... Please add in your features requests for Hidden Eye here.... The top 10 requests will go into one of the next releases of HiddenEye. Let the party begin !!!:highfive:

I know you could end up with hundreds of photos of your pocket etc with this option but if it was a quick toggle or something.
Also works great with Galaxy SIII....

Audio recording for around a minute,basically to see if anyone is talking about you?
Or option to hide the gallery just in case they get in your phone and have a poke around?
Some ideas: include option to use custom alarm, and or option to record voice. I would record "Hey! What are you doing!" lol
Option to send/save pictures to email, dropbox, box, google drive, etc
Option to change sound alarm after x attempts
Allow clearing all records or individually delete records
and 9000+ more
The photos can be seen from the gallery. Make it save to a folder with a. Nomedia file, so the gallery doesn't see it

Taking the photo with the front camera is very usefull but it would be more useful if you have a GPS coordinates for that photo. I know that getting a lock from GPS could take several seconds but there's no hurry having the photo uploaded to Dropbox. I would prefer a switch in the app to enable GPS coordinates and then make a little JPG image with the taken photo and the coordinates below(or another JPG file with coordinates so Dropbox client upload it a minute later).
Geotagged photos would be helpful?(I have no idea how geotagged photos work if I open them at Dropbox from a Windows computer). I'm thinking about the stolen phone case. You would receive a photo of the thief and geolocalization, all in Dropbox.
Thanks for this great app!
Geotagging
I would love to see it include Geotagging data. Latitude and Longitude are stored in the EXIF data if the GPS and camera settings are configured appropriately. An option in Hidden Eye to enable GPS and geotag the image would be great.
How the phone owner retrieves that data from the picture is up to them, but a quick Google search shows lots of options including iPhoto and Picasa.
id like some easy features like picture after x amount of wrong quesses, and possibility to send mail/sms after x more failed tries.
Then little harder features like live gps location from say googlemaps. depends on how advanced program you are going to make this, but remote alarm by mail/sms with message. also 10000+ more if its going to be really advanced

+1 to:
-> Autoupload to Dropbox, Box or Drive cloud services
-> Geolocation
-> Audio recording+
-> Include .nomedia in folder and hide the snapshots
Turn on GPS and data to send Location, auto email photo and location to gmail, not everyone uses dropbox

Just wanted to say thanks for the app, hopefully my request is included for taking a photo without a pattern/pin lockscreen. I used this recently to catch someone snooping through my phone, but had to put a pattern lock on first. They denied they were doing it until I presented them with the evidence.

By all means, glad to help!
I didn't know where to go to ask the question so I decided to go here. If this is the wrong place please let me know.
I don't really remember how long it's been happening since I hadn't been using Twitter for a very long time and I only have Dropbox installed for the auto photo upload. Recently I noticed that when I try to view pictures within the DB app it says there's an error loading image and it won't let me export anything to my phone's memory.
Same thing goes for Twitter. No one's avatar picture loads and neither do any of the pictures people post that Twitter handles with its own viewer.
Everything works in-browser but not in the respective apps.
And I haven't noticed anything like that in any of my other apps, images show up just like normal on everything else.

Hey guys
Ever since I did a clean flash of CM10.1, I've had problems with Dropbox and it's photo syncing feature.
After starting up the phone after doing the clean flash, I noticed that all of my pictures had been deleted for some reason...so I hooked the phone up to my computer, and transferred the pictures directly from my Dropbox Camera Uploads folder to my phone...I then turned on Camera Upload in the Dropbox app and it notified me that it was uploading 273 of my pictures, even though all of my pictures were already synced to Dropbox and I had just copied them over to the phone.
They removed the option to clear current uploads so I can't stop it without turning it off...
I really like this feature but turning it on will force it to upload a ridiculous amount of pictures that ARE ALREADY IN MY CAMERA UPLOADS FOLDER...
Any ideas? I emailed Dropbox, got a response, sent them more detailed information and they've basically ignored me ever since...Thanks a lot Dropbox!
Thanks,
Elliott

I have searched around and found nothing on XDA or anywhere else about this. With that being said, I understand the existence of Gallery and Photos. Not complaining about that.
Is there any way to keep Hangout MMS pictures from populating their own albums in the Gallery app? Here's the issue, every picture I send, creates an album with prefix Hangouts then the name of the contact. Deleting the pictures from the Gallery app deletes it from my conversation in Hangouts too leaving a white picture and the three dots at the bottom which means that the pictures can't be found. This is not only for chats, but MMS as well. Yes I could go get another Gallery App etc... But wanted to try and see if anyone has it figured out first before going down that route.
There is no option to only view albums on the device itself. Disabling the sync, disables auto-backup.
Thoughts or solutions anyone?
+1 on this, I was randomly searching around google support for this the other day but never hit paydirt. Its annoying as hell.
Edit. You inspired me to go look again. Go into the gallery app select settings and turn off sync with google account. Go into main settings/apps/gallery and delete data and cache. Reboot. Worked for me.

Thank you! While you solution does work and I have tried it, it isn't quite exactly what I am looking for. Reason being because I do sync my pictures to my google account considering I just blew through over 70GB in DropBox storage and can no longer automatically upload pictures I take. Basically, I am looking for a way to selectively pick what to display in my Gallery app(I don't want anything Picasa/Google+/Hangouts/Photos in there). Since the intro of the Photos app which is mostly tied in with G+, it shows everything online, and if they are going to keep the gallery app, then they should at least allow it to be used for offline images available on the device(Just like Play Music has, where it gives you the option to to use music on your online account or what you have on your device).
Unfortunately, the dependency of the camera app on the gallery app, makes it impossible to revert back to a previous version of the gallery.
Ah, sorry about that. Not sure how you can pull that one off, I sure didn't see mention of such when I was searching.
Try making a .nomedia file in the picassa folder where it downloads the pics. And same to every other folder you don't wanna see in your gallery. This will help you select what displays along with auto sync enabled.

It creates one for every contact I send a picture to in Hangouts.
That's going to be a lot of files to be created. I guess there is no other way. Unless I just install another gallery.

No it's not like that. You would have to copy paste only one .nomedia in the main folder of the data file of hangouts and one in picassa.
