How to download pictures and videos from Samsung Cloud. - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello All.
I have been using many Samsung phones and I have gathered almost 15gb of pictures and videos which are stored on my Samsung Cloud. Since I almost reached full capacity I would like to download them and store them on some other place, cloud.
I do not want to pay monthly to Samsung just to be able to store more.
I was looking in the internet for any working solution but without success. I have installed Samsung Gallery(windows app) and I can view my pictures but when I try to download them it fails. Download is starting but nothing is happening. I can not download data to my phone since all I can do is to select all and ... delete....
Does any one know the workaround solution?
I would like to use Samsung Cloud but want to free up some space and backup my current data outside of Samsung Cloud.
Thank you for any solution or tip.
Best Regards.

Go Settings then cloud & accounts then press Samsung cloud here you get all your stored data on Samsung cloud long press for selecting what you want to download then press download i hope this help you please hit like ?

[Q] Web to Cloud: Directly Download/Save any File/Contents on Cloud...

Hi there,
We are in a new era of Cloud Internet technology... But the question comes could we utilize the full cloud service thoroughly?
-I don't think so!
For example, Google Drive provides us 15GB of free cloud space, but to make use of that 15GB we end up transacting of the Data usage around 50GB+
How?
Uploading contents on Google Drive = 15GB +
Browsing/Surfing 5GB extra, so 20GB.
Downloading the same contents multiple times on multiple devices = More 30GB of internet data usage!
So we are virtually requiring round about 50GB of internet data pack additionally which is kinda costly in India yet!
It would have come down to half if we could have saved the data directly on Google Drive or any other relevant Cloud Media like Drop box, Sky Drive etc without having it to get downloaded onto the PC/Smart phone/Tablet!
Currently the respected UC Browser only seems to be providing the said feature flawlessly without any limitation in file size or extension but on UC's own Cloud a storage of 2GB Fixed & 4GB Temporary!
Other browsers like: Maxthon, Puffin etc might do the same job but kind of limitations are there!
A dedicated website ctrlq.org/save/ does the job for various Cloud media but can't be compared with UC Browser in any/every aspect.
Months/Year ago Google launched Save to GDrive Button which gives the Web Admin only to implicate the feature where Users don't have choice to do so!
gutenberg org did implicate this feature enabling users to send their desired Epub file to GDrive (and Dropbox as well) directly so that they can import into Google Play Books or download afterwards.
It's worth mentioning that not every website would be willing to implement the GDrive button for visitors to save direct to cloud!
Hence we are left with only an option of opting the UC Browser.
My request to all the readers over here, is there any alternatives for this? Is it not really possible to create such application or plugin which will pop up with option of choosing download destination (Storage or Cloud) when we tap on download button!
May/may not be possible yet till today but sure enough in future we will be able to do so what UC had already done long way before.
Any opinion/suggestion or users point of view is highly appreciated!
Sad
It's very haert broken fact that no one ever bothered to answer the query! Seems the feature was asked about is kinda crime!
Shame on all of u guys...

[Q] Android inventory app data storage suggestions

Hello,
I'm attempting to make an inventory application. Basically, our company has several devices/equipment that we checkout to other people and our current paper system isn't working out. The devices will each have an NFC tag put on that uniquely identifies it, and the idea is that the Android application on our smartphones (provided by the company) will simply scan it to check in/out the device. It will record the date time, who checked it out, and other information, and we want more than one person to be able to check in/out items at a time.
My problem is figuring out a way to store this data. Our company already pays for a OneDrive for Business account and our initial idea was to simply store the data in an Excel spreadsheet and share it with the people who checkin/checkout the devices (only two people at the moment), then the app would download the spreadsheet, record the new data, and upload it again to OneDrive. Reading and writing the data is easy, but actually pulling the file from OneDrive is where we hit a road bump and now we need another plan.
Are there any free alternatives for data storage of this kind where I would be able to access it through the Android application and update it? We also thought of using Heroku, but through researching I found that directly connecting to the PostgreSQL database they provide within the application is not possible. Of course we want to keep this data secure and only accessible to the people actually checking in/out devices, but we do not need a huge amount of space to store this data. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Heroku is a good option. You'll have to make an app to run API's that will talk to your app.

Sync phone media to PC? (Songs, pictures and video)

So I had a bit of a scare the other day when my phone refused to read my SD card, all fixed now but it got me wondering what would have happened had my SD card actually died. So after a few days of searching the net for an app that would wirelessly or using the data cable sync my phones data to my PC, I couldn't find one that did what I wanted it to so here I am. The phone in question is the MOTO X STYLE on a stock ROM. Does said app or one like it exist?
I'd appreciate the help
EDIT - Just to clarify, I do have apps such as Mega backing up my device, the reason for this thread wasn't to find an alternative but to find one that'd backup/sync to my PC. I want to be able to watch the videos and view the pics located on my phone on my PC and I hardly ever download music to my PC (I download them via my phone, to my phone) so backing up my devices music to my PC would be nice.

sorry i havent seen an app that can do that, not to say there isnt one.
not what you wanted, but i can offer some better alternatives for auto app and pic/vid backup.
picasa from google will sync your vids and pics to the cloud and can be viewed on pc through a browser.
titanium will also sync to the cloud your app data. if your music is the data of some app, i would think it gets backed up, otherwise, no. although the backup could be viewed on a pc, its not in its original format.
any music that you obtained legally, probably has some protection on it to keep you from moving it anyways. at least it used to, but i haven't bought any music in some time, so maybe this changed.
sorry i couldnt be of more help

Hey, man, AirMore can surely help you! It is a completely free app based on web. You can use it to transfer phone or SD card data between Android and PC wirelessly. What's more, you can enjoy media files on web. For instance, you can watch videos of your phone directly on web rather than download them to PC in advance. Search it on Google Chrome, and you'll be satisfied with it. Please make sure you've set up your Android and PC in the same WIFI network before using it.

Thanks for the help, really do appreciate it but I found an application called MobileGo by Wondershare and it does everything I want it to. Syncing to my PC has to be done manually and using a USB connection but that's more than fine with me.
For those of you who might want to do what I did, which was to backup to a PC, I can't recommend MobileGo enough

Image Download/Samsung Cloud very slow

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to download all my images and videos from the Samsung Cloud and store them locally on the phone, so I can later move them to an SD card. I don't want to use the Samsung Cloud backup for Gallery anymore.
So I go to Gallery, and head to my Camera folder that has 3500 images/videos. I highlight and select all, and then choose the option to Download. It then starts to download, but is extremely slow!!! It downloads 3 or 4 items in a minute. And after downloading 300 items, it quits downloading the rest.
I can go back in and select all again and Download, and it will start from where it stopped. But this process will just take forever.
And, no it's not my internet connection. 200-250Mb/s download speeds.
Could it be a slow Server, over at the Samsung Cloud side of things? Or what's going on?
Thanks for your feedback.

I suspect you are correct.
My restores from Samsung are not noticeably fast; they are, however, noticeably slow.

Recover deleted photos

Hi everyone,
Two days ago, accidentally I managed to delete all the photos of my camera album on my S6 Edge (SM-G925F).
I long tapped the album in gallery, just as i would have done with a photo then clicked delete.
It seemed to take too long, so I clicked cancel. But it was too late. All was gone.
I have well, most of them backed up but still missing quite a few.
So far I tried to recover using the following apps:
Dr. Fone (both on the device itself and from computer).
UltData for Android (from laptop),
Dumpster Recover (on the phone),
DiskDigger (on phone)
But all they show me is photos that are still available on the device, or are in some app cache. ( Profile pics of people on Facebook, etc...)
Note: I tried all these methods both before and after rooting the device. (I read somewhere that rooting might help, but I simply get more crap...)
The device is running Android 7.0 (the latest update from Samsung.)
Has anyone managed to recover lost photos from an S6 so far?
What apps would you recommend?
Why can I not see those pics anywhere?
Does samsung have some special way to erase your storage if u delete your photos?
I cannot seem to find many search results about it, probably not many people use this device anymore
Thanks in advance for any help,
Agoston
Probably no longer recoverable after DrFone.
Pay the fee and get what it can recover.
It encrypts its results (using up more drive space) and presumably makes the original data inaccessible to other recovery apps.
Recovered jpegs files will be disassociated from their exif files though; no timestamps, original #, shooting or location data.
The only way to reliably prevent data loss is to redundantly back it up before it happens, unfortunately.
I did pay the fee, but it cannot find them either...
In the main window it showed 1090 photos, on the side it showed it found 10 000, but at recovery it got stuck at around 5000....

None were backed up anywhere?
It may take a long time to retrieve them and not actually be hanging... be careful!!!
Make sure it has all needed permissions.
No clue how to use that app. Try their support and Google search to try to find out what's going on.
Don't mess with that app or anything on the phone or you may lose what it found completely.
Normally I say clear app data and the system cache but NOT in this case!

Most of them is backed up just the ones in the last few months aren't.
It turned out during a chat with their support not long ago, that my phone is not supported by their app, and i will get a refund from them.
But the question stands...Is there any app out there that supports the recovery from an SM-G925F?
I didnt seem to find any, but I hope someone knows one
