DropBox - upload pictures (duplicate) - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can’t find anymore the option to syncro only new pictures from my Note 3. I’ve installed an SD card with subfolders and DB is duplicating all of them in DB Camera Uploads folder. How can I stop this?
In the past there was an option "only new pictures" that, if flagged, was uploading only the pictures taken from that moment but in the 4.3 App it looks like they've removed it.
Any clue?

Current mobile-DB version screenshot (no flag anymore)
Just got the DropBox answer on the issue: There currently isn't a setting in the app that lets you filter out pictures that had already been uploaded from another device.
Really?
If you would like us to give the option to filter out pictures that have been uploaded already, please feel free to make a feature request through our Votebox.
So, if you guys miss that option as me, please [URL="https://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=105734]click here[/URL] and vote. You may vote more than once.

Send phone pics to a gallery (must have server)

The camera on the Incredible is by no means anything comparable to a good digital camera but for a phone I think it takes pretty good pictures.
OK, this is a really neat way to post your phone pics to an online gallery.
NOTE: you must have server access and basic knowledge about installing a simple script to the server.
It requires 2 programs.
1 a program called MG2 or MiniGal 2 available free here (they accept donations)
http://www.minigal.dk/mg2.html
A program available from the Android Market called "Instant Upload"
Both programs are relatively easy to set up providing you have server knowledge and access.
After the set up and installation is done, all you need is to open your explorer program on your phone (I use Root Explorer but Astro file manager works as well) and navigate to the folder where your pics are located, click on the pic and you will be given several options - One of which is "Instant Upload". You need to have Instant Upload configured to upload to the directory that you installed the gallery on your server.
Your photo is uploaded to the gallery but not live yet.
Next you need to go the your gallery page and log in, click on the "Import" icon at the top of the page and the thumbnail and image will be placed in the gallery automatically.
There are several options in the gallery set up, you can change skins, allow user comments on your photos, display xif information and many other options.
Here is a link to the gallery I set up to show you what the end result will be.

As you can see, the gallery will let you add folders to categorize your photos if needed.
Hope some of you find this useful.
I will try to answer any questions if needed.
I hate to burst your bubble, that cat pic was cool btw, but have you heard of Picasa?

Not bursting my bubble, if you prefer Picasa that's fine with me.
Adobe has a nice program that's similar as well.
And for most people Picasa would also be a much easier route to take. But for me this is the way I like it.
I guess I'm just "Old School"

Picture Hub and Live ID problem

Loving my Omnia 7. My pictures on my live account were syncing until this week.
My pictures no longer appear on the picture hub. The only pictures I have are the ones on the camera roll, saved picture and sample picture.
I have tried syncing again. I have tried restarting among many other things. No luck.
My pictures on my live account DO NOT APPEAR on my phone.
If there is a know solution to this please assist.
I also had this problem. I hear that it is a bug that MS may fix with their next update. However the only solution I have come up with at this moment is a hard reset.
Thanks, I was hoping it wouldn't come to that.
Any other alternatives.
Silly question, i know i will loose all the apps i installed. How about the ones i paid for? will i have to pay for them AGAIN ?
No, you don't have to pay for them. They're associated with your live id.
After a hardreset you can go to the markepace and if you download an app you payed before, it will prompt you about it and you can download for free. Maybe write down the names of apps so you know what to download again.

[Q] How can I add a picture on xda forums not as an attachment

Normally when I do this it does not work or it shows a broken picture, I mean the "IMG /IMG" with [ and ]
Where do I have to upload the picture so that it shows correctly?
There are many picture hosting sites that you can use - A good free one is http://tinypic.com/
You can either just upload pics or register for a free account to save your pics for long term use
Once uploaded it will give you the codes to use in a different ways - eg forums email webpages and so on
Just paste the IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards - remember you might want to use the option when you upload your pic to resize the pic to message board size else the pic might appear huge on the forum - However if its something with text that needs to be seen clearly you can upload it at full size and the put the HIDE tag around the IMG code - This will hide the picture in the spoiler on the post so people will need to click the spoiler to see the pic - tus will save loading time and keep the thread looking cleaner from really large pics in posts

QuickPic code share for storage increase

I wasn't aware of this app until it was pre-installed on a custom flash game in place of the default gallery.
I don't know how long they'll be around for, for such a massive photo storage cloud but the app has support for various other clouds and samba support as well. I initially wasn't that interested since I use Foldersync but I would like to try it out as my gallery for now, and that said it seemed I may as well get the bazillion Gig storage option. Doing it here keeps me from spamming my friends.
From the looks of it, you only need to get one referral, so if someone takes mine, please say so and repost a code assuming one is available, if not then I suppose its simply a good place for people to post who want space; referees get it as well therefore I'm unclear how it works in this regard.
Hey! I'm trying to get 1,000GB free cloud space, but I need your help!

Install QuickPic, invitation code [870717], we'll both win 1,000GB:https://cloud.cmcm.com/i?i=870717&l=en&d=i0

So that's how you found quick pic? Party's over thanks to Cheetah Mobile. RIP quick pic, the once best and only gallery app.
EDIT: DON'T BOTHER WITH THE STORAGE, JUST UNINSTALL THE APP.

Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't read the store comments because indeed it is how I found it. The interface and functionality are still good. Hopefully I can neuter any services and permissions I don't like after moving it out of /system (and it irritates me that ROM cookers put things there at all).
It's been quite some time since I had a gallery app with a folder view that was complete and was also able to delete photos when I told it to. Hopefully I can either find something else or get this one to do all of the above after removing it from /system and installing normally.
I only briefly, just now, by the way, and I didn't find all the file sharing support it advertises, including Samba but assuming the cloud space is in fact upgradable, another layer of redundancy would be desirable.
We shall see how things turn out...
EDIT: Permissions were fine. New code since I used the one I posted

Downloaded images, but Facebook won't let me use them..??

So I went to google, downloaded an image of something I wanted to put for sale on facebook, but facebook doesn't recognize the image.. So I opened it, took a screenshot of the image and tried again, same bad luck..
It shows up in my images as a blank image (The centered image icon with the little crossed out circle in the bottom right corner), and won't let me click on it, and it does this with more than one type of image as well.. It doesn't do this with all images, mainly just any that I download or screenshot.. Anyone have any tips on fixing this..??
PS - if I open the gallery app, I can view the images just fine, but for some reason it won't let me use them in texts, facebook, etc..
Here's a screenshot so u can see what I'm talking about when trying to add the pics through facebook.
Now when I open the gallery app, they show the image thumbnails, and they open just fine..
Wonder is a new copyright thing, I can see FB limiting you (if so) but kinda odd you couldn't use the pic in question in a text., Mind linking what it was and I can try to posting it in my dummy FB account.
I use the mobile web browser side of FB,no FB app. and I initially had trouble posting ANY pic when I 1st got my V20. The issues sorted itself magically one day. Only way I could post a pic was to hit request desktop version & proceed like normal.

Sure, I actually deleted all of those images and removed them from my "For Sale" posts, but the next time it happens I'll send it over so you can have a shot..
Thanks!
