My nephew he uses the camera of my phone. And therefore I don't want to sync(upload) automatically all my photos to google drive.
So I want to upload selected photos only . So is there any way, where each photos which were backup(uploaded) to google drive are tagged as already backup(uploaded), so that I can know and don't upload the same, again to google drive.
Thanks.
device - xperia e1 dual 4.4.2

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.
Google Photos can display photos from Google+ but it seems to show them in order (latest first). Since I have over 15,000 photos on Google+, I was hoping it would be random so I don't see the same photos every time Daydream starts.
Photo Frame only uses photos on the device.
Photo Table only uses photos on the device.
Any suggestions?
So i just came back from a holiday in Japan. As i am using a google pixel, my stored photos automatically goes to the google photos app. but the app is not synced on the cloud (meaning i never signed in with google photos) as i don't intend to use it as a cloud storage, but just a normal stock photo storage on my phone.
So after the trip, i created a new album and sorted out the best photos out of the trip and put it there. I named it "for profile pics photos"
Now, the storage memory is getting full, so i moved the photos from the camera folder to my harddrive through Solid file explorer, but i didn't touch the "for profile pics photos" album.)
When i checked the google photos app, the "for profile pics photos" album is gone! i was shocked and i was looking for the specific photos everywhere. it's gone. My best pics from the trip is gone! i am so pissed.
I double checked in the harddrive if the photos got transferred there but it wasn't. it just got lost!
I also checked the trash in the google photos, it's also not there!
How can i retrieve those photos? why is google photos like this. is this a common problem for a google phone?
Just for what it's worth and because no one has replied yet, I haven't had this problem but I only don't use Photos' backup option on my non-Pixel devices. On my Pixel devices, I use the free full quality backup. On my non-Pixel devices, although I use Photos as a gallery app, I use Mega with its free 50 GB of cloud storage to backup my pictures and videos. It's not as seamless as with Photos.
I should also add I haven't done the exact steps you have on a phone where Photos isn't set to backup automatically.
Hello,
I want to backup all my old pictures (1 TB) with my Pixel 3 xl
Is it possible to get google photos to backup photos from a USB OTG folder without having to copy the pictures on the phone?
I did some searching and saw some suggestions for FolderSync. The problem with the app is that I can't browse to the USB OTG folder.
Thank you
If you're OK with slightly reduced quality (not really an issue or visible unless blowing up the photos to large print sizes) you can just drag them into Google Photos on your computer in a web browser. The Pixel does offer the free original size backups but I am not sure if that's for anything uploaded FROM the phone or only photos/videos captured with the phone camera (based on EXIF or similar).
I want full quality. It work, i checked it.
Okay, I take photos with my p40 pro. Then I connect my phone to my chromebook with a cable. Then I copy the photos to a file, camera or download, in Chrome OS. Then I copy the photos to Google Photos. This process if very time consuming.
Does anyone have suggestions for a quicker tranfer process?
If you have a phone with GMS, Huawei or other, share them with Huawei share (if the other phone is Huawei too) or Phone clone (copy the app on the non-Huawei phone, open it and select just the photos when you choose what to move).
Try with Dual space too, download Google photos (inside of Dual space) and see if it will take the photos directly. I think it will work ...
LE: it works with Dual space, on Mate40 pro, I just started a backup.
