[Completed] [Q] picasa photos sync - XDA Assist

I have a samsung galaxy s4 which I just installed a micro sd card in to free up space on the device to upgrade to android lollipop. I moved all my photos to the sd card and now when I take a picture, the photo is automatically saved to the sd card (which is good). However, I use the picasa app which was pre-installed on the phone for organising my pictures, instead of the gallery app, as I want all the pictures to back up to google plus. The problem I'm now having is that deleting a picture in the picasa photo app does not delete the picture from the sd card! It deletes from the picasa gallery, from the stock gallery app and also from the auto backup album on google plus (which is what I want), the only thing is doesn't do is actually delete the picture from the sd card for some reason? When the photos were saved on the device it deleted the pictures from there but it doesn't seem to want to do the same thing with the sd card. This is annoying as I have to 1st delete the picture in the picasa photo app to get rid of it from the online back up album, and then go into files-all files-DCIM-camera, and then select the photo and delete it from there! Is it possible to have this sync properly again so I don't have to do this?!
Thanks

[Q] Any way to save the pictures to the phone and not the sd card?

Hi, is there any way I can save the pictures to the phones memory and not the sd card? Cuz if i lose the phone then my pictures will easily be accessible. Kindly let me know. I try moving the pictures to a folder in the phone manually through root explorer but they get deleted upon reboot.

I don't know how this would work. Surely if they're on the phone and you loose the phone you'd loose all the photos stored on the phone.
Have you tried looking at Picasa Web Albums ? I personally haven't used it but it looks like it has the option to sync with the phone, then they're stored externally to the phone so always available. I've nut used Picasa Web Albums but have used Picasa in the past.
You could also look at your gmail account off a standard PC browser, top left there is a photos link, look in there. Seems linked in with Google+ though.

[Q] Pictures not automatically sending to SD card

I went on the camera app and set the pictures to go to my sd card but they end up just going into my internal memory. I already sent most of them to the sd card. Is there a way to automate this process? If i send all of my pictures to SD card is there a way to quick view them? Like will it appear on the photo album or google pictures app?

Google Photos app problem

Guys regretfully I downloaded the new Google Photos app today. Unfortunately somehow it backed up ALL my Gallery camera photos and now I have very little storage space on my N5.
I've tried deleting photos but the only way I can do it is from the Photos app BUT when I do delete them they are also removed from my Gallery. But I want them to remain in my gallery.
Help please
All photos you had in google drive got downloaded to phone?
I'm so confused right now.
Hi thanks for your reply. I'm confused too. I downloaded the photos app. It began backing up. Then about an hour later I got a message saying it couldn't back up all my photos as my device had run out of enough memory!
I have checked my Gallery app and there are no duplicate photos. I have also deleted the Auto backup folder. And have deleted the photos app. But I still haven't received covered the lost storage.

LG G7 One camera storage

Are you able to change the storage from the camera app from Google photos, instead saving them to the phone? I'm getting frustrated.
On the camera app, clicking on the setting icon brings up the "storage" option, which for me is SD card or internal memory. So my pics are always saved to the phone.
My picture files are also synced to Google photos, so it is also saved to the cloud also. <I am sure you can disable that somewhere, prob under Google account, but I have not tried.>
Now, the default way to view photos on the phone is Google photos. So maybe that's why you think that photos are only saved to Google. If you use the "File" app, (or other file manipulation app, or pull the SD card and put it in a computer, if that is where you saved the photos) you will see that there are copies of all the photos on the phone.

[BUG] Google Photo wrong backup , Amazon photos backup doesn't work

I want to advice this 2 problem, with my mi note 10, already rised into this threads:

https://c.mi.com/thread-2727222-1-0.html

Google photo recognize as 0.7megapixel (960x480) photo taken with main camera, and it will backup photos with such this low resolution.
Amazon photos isn't simply able to complete a backup.
Really bad situation here....
I've already triggered mi support, what we can do?
No problem with Google Photos from my Note 10.
Smae identical problem about Google photo
No problem for me, Google Photos backup 27MP and 108MP photos without any issues

Yeah, no problem here either. All photos backed up in full size.
Some of my photos are backed up but others are flagged as 0.7 Mpixels. It's not related to our phone because I found the issue on Mi9T/9T Pro forums. It seems that moving the photos from one folder and back again to the original fixes the issue.
Same problem
Some photos back up fine, but some show erroneously as 0.7Mpix and don’t back up to Google photos. Those ones also erroneously show no GPS location.
Same problem. To correct it I have to clear all the data of Google Photos app and delete low res duplicates. It is really annoying
There is a workaround it (better than clearing the google photos)
the methods are:
1. Open the built-in Photo App. Create an album(ex. G-Backup Album) inside the built-in photo App. This will create a folder with the same name as the album.
2. Select all you photos and click "Add to" button below. Then select the "G-Backup Album" album and click on "Move" option. After this, all photos will be moved to "G-Backup Album" Album.
3. Open Google Photo App, add "G-Backup Album" folder to the list of backup folders in the Setting. Then you will see that all photos are being uploaded normally and the size are shown correctly.
Makesure u dont open the Google Photo apps.. before you do this methods
Hi Wing_Zero85 in my case something similar happens to my "mi note 10".
Neither the amazon photos app nor google photos automatically upload the photos to the cloud.
I have activated all the permissions, I have tried many things and nothing, they do not automatically upload photos to the cloud.
With google photos it doesn't bother me too much, but with amazon photos it does bother me.
For amazon photos to upload photos to the cloud, I have to manually open the app, because it doesn't automatically.
For the other apps, there are no problems, whatsapp, telegram ... they work well in the background, notifications arrive well .....
But what happens with the amazon photos app is very annoying and frustrating.
