Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to transfer whole albums from my android phone (LG G4) to my Windows PC. I use Google Photos as my app for managing images and creating albums within the app, but when I connect my phone to my PC via usb, I no longer see the albums but all the images mixed up. I figured there must be an app (diferent to google photos) which will allow me to do this. Do you know any? Or any other way to do this?
Thank you!
I just use seperate folders and Syncthing, it's open source too and works really well

How is it possible:
1. Sync photos between Skydrive and Windows Phone 7.5 in original resulution ?
2. How to sync MP3 files between Skydrive and Zune player in Windows Phone 7.5 ?
Thanks for help and ideas.
1) I don't think it's possible but I could be wrong.
2) Skydrive can't be used for Zune cloud storage. Microsoft wants you to stream music using Zune Pass so there would be no need to store music locally or in the cloud.

1. no sync, you can only upload via Skydrive app
2. its not possible...
MS makes strange features... Autoupload from photo app to Skydrive resizes photos to 1/4 of original size, so its unusable... There is no internet on every places, why only stream music from cloud? There are many and many stupid things in WP...
So I have two apps that I would recomend to use if you want to stream music from the cloud:
Music Cloud - Use with SoundCloud
StreamBox7 - Use with DropBox
Both apps have a free trail along with a paid version.
Hopefully this may help you out some.
it sucks that the screen resolution gets changed, i hope this problem is getting fixed by microsoft.
Ach, jo.
What I need is so simple:
1. Sync music from Skydrive to my Phone Zune\
2. Sync pictures from Skydrive to Picture Hub with Folder support.
3. Sync IE Favorites from Skydrive to IE.
4. VPN [ SSL VPN, IPSEC ]
Why first 3 areso difficult to build in ?
I must mention that the following is certainly possible and probably best amongst all mobile OSs I have used
Sync Photos between Skydrive and Picture Hub
1. Upload your photos to the SkyDrive associated with the Live ID used as the Primary Live ID of the device. You can do this either via SkyDrive app on WP or use SkyDrive website via computer (which is easier obviously).
2. You must set the folder to which you have uploaded your photos as "Photos" to make sure it syncs and shows up in Pictures Hub. Otherwise, this folder will be tagged as "Documents" or "Others" which may show up in the Office Hub but the pictures will not be recognized.

Yeah, I found it also. If you upload photo via function "share"
its uploaded to Skydrive and If I will make HW reset I can just easily
open this pictures from Skydrive, and are automatically synced to Pictures Hub via WIFI or Data connection.
It's mean that at the first time I have to connect to wifi or data connection and download the pictures and then I got it there.
But still missing SYNC IE favorites or music via Skydrive.
Is MS preparing something new for us ?

It must be "photos" in folder name (not exactly "Photos"), i have folder "Photos Full Resolution" and it syncs with photo hub also
Guys, can anyone recommend the best software to transfer photos to and from the Nexus 5 and iPhoto on a Mac?
I have DoubleTwist, but that software can only transfer photos TO iPhoto not from it. I want to be able to transfer albums from my iPhoto to my N5.
So far it seems a nigh on impossible task.
Also, music to and from iTunes is also nigh on impossible.
Finder, Android file transfer....

Android File Transfer is a pain as you have to figure out what photo's you have already transferred over.
I was hoping for more of an iPhoto style app that automatically picks up new photo's to transfer over.

I would probably just transfer them manually using whatever Apple's default file explorer is. Or you could turn on Cloud syncing, then just pull the new photos down manually from the cloud on your Mac if you wanted. Easiest would be manual transfer IMO. Drag and drop them.
Use Google+ as a cloud storage for your photos. They will automatically show up in your stock gallery and wont take up space on your device.
I took a few photos the other day and they are stored in the Google Photos app/folder on the phone. But my PC doesn't 'see' that folder and says I have no pics to transfer. (yes, One Plus connected to PC USB).
Help, please.

On your PC? Open your browser, preferably Google chrome, upper right corner look for Google photos link, check if photos are synced there. You can then download it to your PC from there. If photos are not there, then check sync settings on your Google photos app on your phone. If you want to copy photos directly from your phone, you'll need to enable file sharing on your phone (check notifications) once you connect it with USB cord with the PC. Until then, phone will only charge and PC woul not be able to see any phone's folders.

The photos aren't really stored in Google Photos. Well they are, and they aren't. Google Photos just scans all the phone's folders for photos, then backs them up to the Google cloud. You technically aren't supposed to be able to access most app data over USB. Which is why you won't find the photos when browsing by USB to the Google Photos app folder.
You're using the stock camera app? Browse to the folder DCIM>Camera, and you should find the photos these. That is where the photos are saved to from the stock camera app.
Hello, are there any pc sync managers for android, similar to MediaGo? I used MediaGo since I had my Xperia Tipo and it worked great with Samsungs and Huaweis since. But now it's discontinued and I can't find anything similar.
What I'm looking for:
-Sync with USB
-Knows which files are already shared between PC & Android, so I don't have to manually keep track which files to transfer.
-Syncs to folders (eg. Pictures from Android album "funny" goes to PC folder "funny")
That's really the main requirements. Please help.
I'm looking for a solution, which allows me to sync some of my sdcard folders with pc folders (I want to use a PC as a backup, I don't want any cloud storages). I need an app or some other simple solution. Not sure if it's a good forum. Any ideas?
Hi,
I use smbsync2 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sentaroh.android.SMBSync2) which syncs to a network storage on your computer. The UI is not the best but there are a lot of youtube videos explaining the setup.
Best regards Tobi
