[Q] Google+ Photos to Gallery - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Really dumb question, but when using the Samung apps like contacts to change contact photos it defaults to Samsung Gallery for the photo, but the Google+ photos dont sync to the stock Gallery app by default (far as I can tell), sync is on in Google account so nothing wrong there...considering I do some dev stuff here this seems like a really silly question.
Anyone figure this out yet?
TLDR: how do i sync google+ photos to stock gallery app?

I want to know this too.

That's weird. I have Google+ install but don't have any of those "folders".
Any other apps you install recently?
Check in Account & Sync, see if any of those accounts have any kind of "photo" sync.
Gallery syncs with your google account so ANY pictures you post or share while signed in on a computer or phone will be synced to one place.
You can clear these by going to settings-applications-manage-all items-gallery -clear data...
And to permanently stop the syncing go into settings-accounts and sync-click on your account and deselect picasa web albums.
That should fix it

I have the same issue.
what i did was delete the pics of picasa and the albums which got rid of 2 of the albums.
but i still have 4 i cant seem to locate.
I have nothing other than my google account in accounts syncing.
they are empty and i cant delete them, i tried the above suggestions but that didnt clear the 4 remaining empty folders.
how can i locate them and remove them?
i dont get why there is not "hide albums" options either
Ignore this post
Dont ignore mine
I use Quickpic and you can excluded and include what folders you want to see and hide pics, great for showing friends things in default gallery without showing your valuables =D its free

[Q] Why do no AOSP ROMS support syncing photo's with Google+

I have been on both ParanoidAndroid and AOKP and neither support syncing with Google+ Albums and its really bothersome. I am a Photographer and I use the syncing to showcase my images. People ask "well why dont you just go into the Google+ app"...because you can view photos offline. I have already tried one method of replacing the Camera and Gallery app with another version, but if I dont that, I am stuck at only being able to take pictures at 3MP. Will the syncing be available after testing is over? or is this something I am going to have to live with?

I've switched off google photo sync, but now I am unable to delete photos from Gallery that were synced before.
Is there any way to do that ?

Hi,
I had this problem, too
I turn off the sync
And than I have cleared the Data of the gallery app
So all synced pics were deleted, but you cannot remove single photos with the gallery :crying:

WOuld be nice to have the updated pictures I have not rooted my phone still its still pretty new and really don't want to mess something up. Maybe worth mentioning i have the xperia z3 running lollipop

Is there a way of importing Facebook contact photos to Google/Android contacts?

Hi,
Since FB changed it's API, the only way of having contact photos using FB photos is having their app installed (bye bye haxsync). Since their app does a lot of other annoying things, I would like to know if there is a way to import those photos to Google Contacts without the FB app. It is possible to get those photos manually (entering the person profile and saving the photo), so there must be a way of doing this automatically. Anyone knows how?
Best
Daniel
