Download Gallery from Samsung Cloud to internal storage - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello,
due to my own stupidity I completely wiped my S7 a few days ago.
To my surprise Samsung Cloud had backed up my whole gallery which I'm so happy for.
My problem now is, how do I download those pictures to my phone?
The only way I found is if I select every picture manually and then choose download from the menu but that would take way too long for 10Gb of pictures.
Is there a way to download the whole gallery in one take?
Thank You

[Q] Photos not showing in DCIM/Camera folder

Hello World!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Sii and have been taking photos happily for some time. I'm currently low on space in the phone's storage but have plenty free on the SD card. The problem is that my recent photos taken no longer show up in the DCIM/Camera folder though they are viewable in the Gallery. However, since I want to download them to my PC, I need to find them somewhere.
The odd thing is that I do have .TEC files in my DCIM/Camera/cache folder which I believe are the actual image photos in some sort of proprietary format. I wonder if maybe they couldn't be converted to .JPG for some reason so they're just stuck in the cache still.
Has anyone else encountered this or is anyway aware of a solution?
Thanks!

So I just came across this thread...Not sure if you ever go tthis resolved or not... but in the playstore is an app called TEC2JPG. This will do what you want it to. Typically, those TEC files are just the thumbnail cache. The free version gives you 3 conversions, and the paid version is unlimited. Test it with the free version first.

Camera and save photo in sd card

Hi everybody,
i have a problem with my Samsung S Advance with JellyMOD 4.0 and cocore kernel 6.0.
last day i lost all my camera photo, i don't know how, why...
fortunally i restore my camera photos with diskdigger. ( i use a lot of times the stock camera )
now my question is:
1) can i save my camera photos in phone memory and sd card memory in the same time? like a raid.
so when i get a new photo, this photo will be stored in 2 different place and the risk to lost all one more time is zero.
2) i tried also to select external micro sd in stock camera but in option or settings in camera, i can select only internal memory phone, i don't understand why, i tried to formatted micro sd, wipe cache, wipe dalvik without success, but in settings and memory i can see my micro sd empty and with a file manager i can explorer my sd, put files etc, so it works... strange
i hope that someone can help me, i won't use apps lik dropbox that store my personal photos in internet, i take care about my privacy.
Hello,
I suggest you create a backup of your pictures you take using your phone camera on your computer in case this happens again. Your camera photos should be located in the default DCIM folder. I understand how weary you are of using Dropbox, but I've found the service to be very safe for remotely storing your data. Currently, I'm using Google Drive to back up my things.
I recommend you give it a try.

Confusion with my "app storage"

So my app storage is telling me I have five gb's of this "other" and I have no idea what it could be? All my music and photos and everything are on my SD card and I only have like less the 40 apps. I cannot figure out what can be in the "other" I even moved all my apps to the SD card and the 5 Gb's are still there. Thank you in advanced.

first of all nice 4th of july post lol thats my bday
Second, are you rooted? do you use a custom recovery and flash roms?
zips will account for that other.. also a big big space taker uper is backups of your roms. backup stock thats a good gig easily, flash cm and back it up its possible its just as large (really all depends on how many apps and system apps you have on the image when you backup)
if you have rooted and flash a custom recovery then take a look at your storage, not sure if you use a micro sd along with your internal storage but check both for a folder called clockworkmod and or twrp. Check the properties of those folders if you have them and check their size. Also i once synced my work email to my phone and during the setup i check an option to "always download attachments smaller than 5mb when on wifi" What ended up happening without me even knowing at first was my email synced to my phone and every message that fell within the sync time frame that had an attachment was automatically download to my Downloads folder as the mail first sync and then from then on whenever any message that had an attachment came in and i was on wifi. If i wasnt on wifi then theyd just queue up until i got back on wifi and boom! hundreds and hundreds of word docs, pdfs, images, etc. long story short it ended up taking up a lot of space.

You don't have this phone do you. This phone does not have an sd card slot. The 5gb taken up the "other" is not in the user accessible partition of the storage. That 5gb is taken up by system files etc. To the OP, you only need worry about the second section, as that's the only part of the storage you can access.

Moving EXIF photos from internal to microSD, preserving date time stamp?

Hey, this might be a linux question, but I hate it when I move all my photos from the internal storage to a microSD, they get the new current date and time stamp as the file creation date.
This is undesirable as some Gallery (picture review) apps will organize them thinking they were all taken at the same date.
Is there any solution or workaround to this?
I know there's an app (File Timestamp by PogSoft) that "touches" these date and time by looking at EXIF data from the photos but it requires root, and I can't root my phone because I need to use SamsungPay.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge by the way, and I store all my photos to the internal storage.
QuickPic Gallery has Fix date feature but that doesn't work on every phone. On Sony it works and if I remember correctly it used to work with my old Samsung Galaxy S2. Don't know about S7.

Google Photos not working at all in my S8 plus

Hi All,
All of a sudden google photos has stopped working and i can never get it work , i have searched around the net and tried almost all of the solutions, still no go, it wont fetch photos from photos.google.com nor it would back up photos, it gets stuck in "getting photos", sometime it gets past but does not download the photos from cloud.
I tried google photos in my old note 4 and it works great there, so i added google photos in my secure folder of s8 plus and to my surprise it works perfectly in secure folder but from secure folder it is not able to backup photos , i gave up and did a full reset of my phone and unfortunately even after a full reset , still its not working .. WTF!!!!!
i am not sure what is going on, can someone help please
If your pictures are in the sd card DCIM folder move them to internal DCIM folder and try un-mounting the sd card and see if this works. I have to un-mount sd-card everytime I want to backup, I've notified Google of this but they don't seem to care.
Thanks but my pics are only in Internal memory DCIM folder.

It doesn't matter, un-mount your sd card to see if Google Photos starts to find your photos. It will also backup if you have new photos. It happened to me and even after a reset it would get stuck on getting photos.
Wow this definitely worked , but what is the problem though, can i not have the SD card mounted for google photos to work?
Anyone have any workaround for the SD Card issue
