Not sure if this is the correct section, I have a few years of Google Photos backed up and no real way for an offline or duplicate back up. Are there any solutions for an offline backup? I know there is an export function to download your data, but looking for a more mainstream option to sync to my pc or external drive?

Hey there, I actually tried that before and it allows you up upload photos, but you cannot download a copy of Photos to your PC. I think that is mainly for Drive and on the Photos section takes you to the web.

That's the export function I was referring to in my original post. You request the data, and get a link in few hours to couple days and do a massive download.
What I am looking for is an active sync to PC or local storage. Like Dropbox or OneDrive does with the client.
Still looking for a local sync option. Current option are only manually downloading pictures

Is there a way to do this?
Specifically, a way to sync my pictures and videos to some sort of online storage as and when I take them, or at a preset interval.
Just now, my phone and laptop weren't playing nice and it wouldn't mount as USB. So, I disconnected from USB. Now, I find a bunch of pictures and videos and lord knows what else have just disappeared. I'd like to be able to have a constant back up of these things.
I think dropbox has this feature. You only get 2GB free, buy a very useful app.

I know Titanium Backup has a feature called 'Media Sync' that does just that, too.
Dropbox is great btw.

Dropbox will not do this by itself but, Titanium Backup Media Sync seems like it will use Dropbox to do it for me. Thanks!

Yeah, just exported or shared memos appearing in the folder /sdcard/S Memo/.
With the new update, you can export as a pdf. Then if you have a pdf editing program you should be able to edit on a pc. If you use handwriting, and have a tablet pc you can edit the pdf on that with pdf annotator or similar.

I use gSyncIt to synchronize Google with Outlook. Google calendar synchronizes with the phone. Google acts as a passthrough link.
GSyncIt synchronize contacts,calendar,tasks and notes between Google account and Outlook.
Edit:
Oops,sorry. This is about S-memo,not S-planner...
However I will keep it here just FYI.

I had the same question with my S4. After a bit of reading up i gather that Samsung is working on a fully fledged version of S-cloud which should have been ready when the last note handset was released but it's still not ready. If rumors are correct you will be able to view and edit all Samsung services like s-note, s-memo, s-planner etc from there. In the meantime I'm using Google keep for simple notes like shopping lists and Microsoft one note for bigger work stuff.
try this http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/snote/?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000170
it is official from samsung
Hi guys
Does anyone know of a gallery app, like the stock app but with the ability to display photos stored on box.com or dropbox.com?
I have been searching but not found one!
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks Guys

i don't know about box.com, but you can set up dropbox to download all the files automaticly, so you could browse your dropbox photos with the stock app...

How do you set Dropbox up to download automatically? I've never seen that option but have always wanted it.
Hi
But if you set drop box to download all the files then there is no point them being stored there as they are still on you sd card.
I was looking for an app that will access the online storage and display the images without downloading them?

My Google+ albums are available in my gallery. Have a look at Google+ and see if it will help.

Check out DropSync. Lets you specify folders to auto-sync on your phone at specified intervals or immediately. IOW lets Dropbox work on your phone like it does on a desktop. Very nice!

Check this out: http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/03/test-dropboxs-new-android-app-and-snag-some-extra-storage-space/
The latest dropbox beta not only automatically syncs the photos and videos, it gives you extra space when you do it!
Seeing as the storage space on the Moto G is so limited, I'm wondering if there is a way to keep all of the camera pictures in the cloud only. I tried deleting some from the gallery but they disappeared from the cloud as well. Do any of you guys have a solution for this?
Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk
What i do is that i "share" them to gdrive, once they finish upload i delete them from my gallery. The pictures on drive won't delete by doing that.
I'm not currently running my Moto G, but this sounds like something that might be achieved with FolderSync. It's possible to set up one-way sync, then just delete the local copy.
You can also store them to Dropbox, Flickr, or one of the other photo storage apps.

Yes but then if you delete them from the phone they get deleted from the cloud as well.

No they don't. I do it every day. Once they are auto uploaded you end up with a local copy on your phone and a new version in Google+.

Well I am finding Google+ to be more cumbersome compared to just manually uploading to Google drive every so often. I like how I can create folders on google drive. I'm actually going to resize all the photos in my entire library so that I effectively get unlimited Google drive storage, plus the files will be easier to download.
Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk
You can organise Google+ photos into albums. But your Drive folders should show up in Google+ and the Photos app so it's win-win.

This. After losing family pics to stolen phones and bad wipes. G+ photos was a life saver
So I discovered a great Windows application called "FastStone" photo resizer. Here is what I did with it:
1. I did a search for *.jpg in my photos folder (I had a lot of folders unorganized, about 80gb worth over the past 10+ years).
2. I copied and pasted all of those jpeg files into a new folder I created called "Photos to be resized for google drive".
3. I ran FastStone photo resizer and set the options so that it would rename all of the photos by date, and also resize them all so that their longest side was 2048 pixels. I left the jpeg quality at 90%.
4. I grouped the photos into folders by year.
5. I put everything into my google drive folder.
Now I have over 80gb of photos in my google drive folder and still have all of my space unused because the longest side of the photos never exceeds 2048 pixels!
Thanks everyone for your input. I'm really enjoying google drive and the moto g. 8gb is more than adequate with all this cloud storage.
Unfortunately I have to update this because the photos have to be on google+. If you leave them on google drive then they count toward your quota.
You can have the 'photos' app set to auto upload, which I initially thought would be good until I also found out it uploads all your videos too with no way to tell it to ignore certain directories, so if you store any videos on board that might be a problem.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the profile picture in the little circle in the forms can anybody help
It's worked for me using Google Photos to pick the picture.

Open Google+, go to menu, Settings, Account, Contacts, and turn on" Keep contacts up to date" and it will pull your profile image from your Google Account/G+ profile into the phone.
