Photos App and Gallery - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to have the Gallery App show just the photos in my device, and the Photo App to show just the ones I Backup? I'm trying to learn to use either one or the other, but the OCD in me can't stand not being able to organize the set up on how photos appear in the Photos App.

Samsung gallery app question

I am using the leaked JB rom and runs great. I would like to be able to organize photos in my gallery app. You know, kids, pets, house ert in their own gallery. I cannot seem to see how to do this even with new pics.
Or is there a better app?

Hmm. I think there are only a few options..
1. Hook the phone up to a computer and make different folders for the different photos.
2. Alternatively, you could go in to your files and create folders from the phone and move the pictures that way, but I think the computer is easier.
Once you've done that, I believe there is a setting in the camera app that allows you to save pictures wherever you want, such as one of those folders. Not perfect, but I think these are your only options.
Don't know which ROM you are on but Synergy Gallery has the option to add albums from the gallery, you hit menu in the gallery and select new album.
That's a good question, I've been wondering the same thing..

Dropbox gallery sync problem. I want just one album and not every photo

Hi all,
Not sure if I've posted this to the right place.
Anyway my problem is that when I sync my Dropbox to show in my gallery, it shows every photo that I have from all the folders. I only want just two personal photo albums to show in my gallery.
All the other photos that show are tucked away in loads of different work folders. So is there any way to just show the albums I want?
Cheers

Difference between Gallery app and Photos app? Is it okay to remove Photos app?

After rooting my phone, I like to delete some system apps I never use. I was curious what the difference between the Photos app and Gallery app were? And if it was okay for me to delete the Photos app because I like the Gallery app more and would love to get rid of another app I would barely use.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The photos app is part of Google Plus.

Photos app only shows the "camera" photos, not all the other photos on your phone. Edit a photo with Snapseed? You won't find it in Photos.

Camera... Why is photos app default!?!

So when I take a picture and swipe left to view it, it now takes me through the photos app rather than the standard gallery. I read that clearing the defaults on the Google+ app might work....but it doesn't. Please help as I desire the old gallery compared to the new photo one. Is there a way to change?

AFAIK, there isn't. The Photos app has replaced the old Gallery app as the standard image and video library app.

There hasn't been a gallery for a few versions now. Download QuickPic or push gallery.apk.

Will that change what Google Camera opens with though?

Burst photos treated as one?

Can somebody check this out for me?
When I take a burst of photos with the built in app, when reviewing the burst, I can scroll through all the photos. But, in my photo list it shows as one and shares as one photo (the main one).
I see no options in or outside of the burst to save all photos.

I use the HTC gallery and when I open up the burst shot all images are separated as individual pics. But I also see no way to separate them in Google photo app

I found it by searching apk mirror HTC gallery. I'm using gallery version 9.51.755029 download and install from your internal storage
Am I the only one taking bursts?

With Google Photos, I can only share the pic designated as the main photo (the thumbnail with the white dot on top). Can't figure out how to split the burst shots separately.
With HTC Gallery v.9.51.744639, the burst shots are automatically separated.
