best way of deleting photos from phone on windows PC - General Questions and Answers

My Galaxy Note 8 is more than 2 years old.. and the photos and videos (DCIM) folder is starting to get really huge
are there any easier way to delete and organize photos and videos other the manually deleting on the gallery ?
deleting them on Windows Explorer is a bit slow... and you cant open videos directly on the phones storage

As I know, the easiest way to deleted and organize photos and video on your Galaxy Note 8 is using Samsung data manager tool. With its help, you can easily access to all data on your Galaxy Note 8 and manage them directly from the computer via USB cable. You can check data one by one and manage them as you wish. Hope this will be your help.

your phone don't have "mark all" photos?

[Q] Importing Videos from GNex to Computer

Searched and couldnt find anything on this.
I am trying to import a bunch of photos and videos that I took with the GNex (4.0.2) to my computer (Win7 64bit). I have tried using MTP and also connecting my phone and using a media file importer (Windows Live Photo Viewer) and nothing seems to work. It is constantly freezing.
Anyone know any tricks to get this on my computer without using ADB?
Thanks...
Use a cloud service as an intermediate step. Upload the files from phone to Dropbox, for example, and download them from there to your PC.

Only some (11)folders showing when connected to PC

Missing are access to program folders including torrent folders where i've download videos and music on my phone and now am unable to transfer to my pc. Unlike the s4 and s2 which I've previously own, I cant access a ton of folders in the Nexus 5, Is this by design or is there something wrong with my connection. If by design is there a way to bypass it.

iPhoto and Nexus 5

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.

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.

Transfer whole albums to PC

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

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.
