I've edit a few images in google gallery and when I save it it just states saved, which saves my changes. I had an image that was not in my gallery by default, clicked on the image in a file browser and when prompted chose to open it in gallery. I edited the image and clicked save. While saving it stated "saving picture to edit online photo..." Where online was this saved?? I don't want this image online. Is it part of google+ or something? I can obviously delete the image from the gallery but I want to ensure it was also deleted online, whereever it stored it.
Surprisingly, a search for "saving picture to edited online photos" turns up no results in google when searched for in quotes.
How can I access these online images?
Nevermind, in the gallery I found the online images and deleted it. Is there a way to prevent this? I have google photo sync off in the options. I just wanted to edit the photo and save it to the device, not online.

Well turns out it saves it to your SD in a folder called editedonlinephotos. How stupid.

Is there an iOS like "PhotoStream" manner of getting pictures onto N7?
Picasa?
I know one can plug into USB, just look for a more streamlined method.
Thanks for any input!
It's called Google+
Sign in the G+ go to settings and it's called "Instant Upload"
any picture you take, it'll auto upload to G+ (in essence it's Picasa also)
BTW, Google had Instant Upload before the "PhotoStream"

And FYI, any photo/video that is automatically Instantly Uploaded are marked as Private, so on you can see them, then you can choose to Share them to your Circles.
You can use drive, box, photobucket and dropbox as cloud storage to sync files between devices.
Currently using drop box but I've found I can't choose to sync individual folders such as camera uploads from my phone...that way I don't have all my drop box files filling up my N7. Anyone have a suggestion?
Hi! I have an annoying issue with google instant upload. If I go to my gallery and settings and I go to the synced accounts , it is selected in the google account , the google photos and instant upload are selected. Now , for whatever reason in the gallery I have the Camera folder and two instant upload folders.... one of them is the normal one with all the photos and one is empty. That one dissapears only when I go to picasa web albums and delete de empty album but that doesn;t work because everytime I take a new photo that empty album appears again and it has as name the date I took the picture. Can someone please help me to fix this and only appear a single instant upload folder?
PS I already tried this: I disable instant upload and only let google photos but then it won't upload the pics anymore; If i disable google photos and let only instant upload it happens exactly the same
It has been assumed that this is a bug on Google's side with the transition away from Picasa to G+. There is only one way I know to get rid of it and that is to delete both folders and then turn photo sharing off. Instant upload will still work, but the albums will no longer keep appearing in Gallery.
I've just faced a problem, suddenly all my local images and videos disappeared from my Gallery. Now I can only see facebook synced photos. Taking a picture and clicking the gallery shortcut shows no images/videos available. I cant make a new folder inside Gallery also. While My Files still show the files and can be opened. Help? :crying:
hi there.
two days ago i got my new s5. i like it and all but all the image storing and online storage is a little much at first. but since my previous phone was stolen and i lost a couple of hundred of fond memories (pictures) i was determined to store them online this time. i set up a dropbox account that seems to come with the phone and i used picasa or whatever google drive calls my online gallery (never used this before).
it's neat and i figured out how to hide online pictures so it serves as a backup.
NOW TO MY PROBLEM:
since everything is new to me here (had sgs2 before) i played around in the gallery that is now largely different. i seem to have set something to the wrong setting because now it doesn't show ANY PICTURES anymore. not from any folder/album. from one second to the other everything was gone (from the gallery). the pictures are all there, though. i can access them with any other app (es file explorer, google pictures, camera, etc.) but i want my gallery back. it says "no items - after you take, record or upload pictures or videos to dropbox, items will be shown in gallery"
this leads me to suspect that i might have switched my gallery to displaying the contents of my EMPTY dropbox account. i don't want this but i am unable to change it back. besides i have an app for dropbox stuffs so why is this feature even integrated?
settings shows me the following:
accounts:
[g] my gmail account
SNS DATA CONTROL:
sync via wifi only [v]
CLOUD SYNC
dropbox sync
tap to sync content
FILTER
filter by
TAGS
tag buddy
off
face tag [_]
above i can only access "Add Account" which brings me to a menu displaying all my accounts (or some): samsung, google, dropbox, facebook
PLEASE HELP ME!
i did not find any help searching because there seems to be a similar problem with people's media storage malfunctioning. i don't believe that is my problem but i tried resetting the media storage anyways. i am sure it is something that i did to hide my pictures. how do i get them back? i don't plan on using a different gallery app but maybe it is the only solution?
regards

EDIT:

i actually just installed quickpic and it shows all my pictures which proves to me even further that nothing is wrong with the pictures but just that my gallery is screwed up. how do i unscrew it?
Clear data for gallery app under settings/applications.
On my Nexus 6p 7.1.1 if I try to Google Photos see all my photos.
But if I search on my device in the DCIM folder I only see very few photos and several empty folders. Where are photos stored? In which path and folder?
I thought it might be in Google Drive. But why I see them on Google Photos also without internet connection (wifi or 4g)?
All of the many empty folders (IMG_2016 .....) I can delete them without any problems? or their cancellation makes me lose the pictures (stored somewhere)?
Thanks.

Two things...
1) You can check picture location by going into Google Photos, click a picture, click the " i " (info) button on bottom. It will give you exact storage location. If there's no location and it just has the IMG, then it's on Google Photos website.
2) Google Drive may not show your photos unless you specifically tell it to. You must go to http://photos.google.com instead. Your drive and photos are most likely seperated
