Gallery app ?

Does anyone know of a good app for the photos? I really do not like the way the gallery is laid out. I have tried a few, but they do not upload directly from the camera.
If you found a good gallery replacement, please post a link.
Thanks in advance! :thumbup::beer:

Love Quickpic, but it has no support for Picasa.

I love QuickPic and use it regularly. I just wish I could find an app that showed gallery in a hirearchial structure. ie. I have pics in several folders by event under a folder 2011, however you don't see the parent folder structure organization, so they aren't as informative. Yes, I know I can embedded the dates in the exif data, but dates were just the easiest example, could also be done for wallpapers based on category, but I dropsync both tablet and phone images on the phone and have same folders under each parent directory.
Haven't found any other app that does this, unless it's a feature I missed in QuickPic or Scalado Album( which is also pretty decent ).

Dropbox?
If you don't have it yet that is a referral link and if you use that to sign up we both get 500mb of space for free. Also dropbox's app seems to work well and you get free space for uploading pictures, up to 3gigs from just uploading photos =D. You can give links out directly from your dropbox so it should work for what you want not sure what else there is for it. *Oh and there is a nice toggle for only uploading while you are in wifi if you want that so save data and it will do it automatically*
I don't think I would pay for a service like dropbox but it is awesome with it being free.

QuickPic is the best!

Wow! Stock album app

Am I the only one who thinks the stock album app rocks?
The SenseMe slideshow, maps and the globe with your photos plotted upon. Very cool, Sony.

You're not the only one. Sony's apps ( Album, Movies, Walkman, PSM ) have always been Xperia's strong features. I don't care too much about Movies app, but Album and Walkman ? Best I've ever used. Good design, great performance, sufficient features, unified user experience.

Its amazing cool i show it the other day to my friends and they were like "waattt" so impressed :thumbup:

You like just because you not yet familiar with Xperia Album, use longer and you cant take note 2 album anymore . .

Nope, you are not the only one. I like Sony Album too. If can they add in sort features, it will be perfect.

I love all the stock Sony apps, they have great designs. :good:

Not keen on the Album app.

I unfortunately do not like it and have been a long time user of QuickPic. My main reason for disliking the app is that there doesn't appear to be a setting which allows me to sort my pictures and thus they are all jumbled. There does not appear to be the option to disable the app either. Any suggestions?

I only use quickpic for moving and hiding pics and folders. It's basic, baggy and awful generally.
As for the stock album app, it's amazing. You can view your pics in folders or in the default view, zooming in and out shows more and less thumbnails to view which looks absolutely brilliant and it's super fast to view online albums like Facebook too.
The album app does not need to stop its perfectly fine being in the background just like all android apps are. Gone are the day's of needing to kill apps. Live in the future man, and open app is a fast app!

Yes and no, would be much better if you could select folders to include or exclude. Because then it would have saved me 2.3 hours moving my music off the card, and back on with Sony media sync. That Sony USB interface to micro sd in the phone is damn slow.

Agree with you here, quite frustrating. Would be much nicer if you could see them by folders or create folders to group them

I wholly agree with you too. I use WhatsApp extensively to send picures and i end up with hundreds of duplicates in the album app which is rather frustrating. I agree that having folder ability would be much easier to handle the pictures.

You can get the same effect by swiping horizontaly. Then you get level by level zoom, just to let you know

I already loved the album app but had never tried senseme until now and damn thats really awesome, wp sony!!

I know it is a workaround in a sense but doesn't the .nomedia file work to prevent unwanted folders being scanned?

Yep one of the best, Sandisk extreme pro (95MB/s), only get about 10MB/s transfer, even slow to the internal phone memory (same speed) usb 3 UDMA however 60-80Mb/s, than is obviously my prefered option to transfer 16+GB of data

Anyone else use Picasa web albums?

On my gs3 in the gallery app it would have all my Picasa albums separated. Now on my gs5 all the pictures are showing in one big group. I'm guessing it's a bug or something but not sure if anyone else uses this and wanted to know if there's any way to change it. I spoke with Samsung and the told me "that software is written by Google", so obviously they are of no help and don't know what they're talking about.

I know picasa is from Google, but the gallery app is obviously written by samsung.
I don't use it for sharing or tagging, I just use it a free cloud for my pictures that integrates right into the gallery app.
If anyone knows of a similar service that works the same or better I'd definitely be willing to switch.

Yes, the gallery app in the s5 doesn't separate the picasa albums, it just puts all the pictures in one group.

Sharing photos with applications

So I am loving my 6p but this is highly annoying. So when I am in an application and want to share a pic, it will only show me recent pictures and I cannot go back through old photos.
You can share from photos without issue. But why in marshmallow can I only share recent photos inside an app.

Can't you just slide from the left to have more options on where you want to share them from like drive, folders, and other apps?

You have to give that app permission to open your photos

I thought that as well, but it never asked me to grant it permissions. Also yes there are options on the left, but that is for photos stored on the device. The photos I want are in Google cloud

Its "Photos"

They want you to use the Google Photos app...I asked the same question right after launch and got this response here...this apk has worked great for me...
The camera still uses "photos" when you swipe right to see your pics...but at least you will have Moto's gallery as well
