Sharing photos with applications - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Photo Sphere restore?!

Hey folks,
I shot a great sphere pic last monday in madison square garden, though i accidentally swiped away the pic and its deleted now.( damn gallery landscape mode)
Now to the good part. I still got the "panorama session" folder that includes the orientation.meta file and a session.txt file as well as the necessary pictures.
Does anyone know how to force the camera to "manually render" again and recreate the sphere picture??
Thank you endless and more for any help!!
Have a good day!!

Perhaps you could print out all the pictures in full resolution and place them in a sphere around you, and recreate the scene?
All joking aside, this would be nice to know.

if you use g+, did it happen to upload automatically to your account?
Unfortunately im a EU citizen on vacation so this was during picture taken and wifi connection ((
At home it would have uploaded the pic, indeed.

Photo gallery album help

So I have an instagram. It automatically saves the picture to my gallery àpp whenever I post it on IG. I backed up all my photos and unrooted, and went back to stock everything. Now, I've posted something on instagram. So now I have two photos in my instagram folder in the gallery. When I save the instagram photos from the old backup into the same folder,it causes my gallery app to crash.

I used a cloud service like Copy. (Copy is an app. Just to clarify) I noticed if I delete the backed up pictures from the gallery after it crashes (I use es file explorer to delete the pictures because the gallery won't let me) the gallery becomes usable again. Also,other galleries like quick pic are fully usable with the new pics added

I would Luke to state that I've resolved the issue. The thing was that I was transferring the old IG folder onto a path on my phone then I'd move the pics manually to the folder which was already on my phone. This time,I just moved the backed up folder (with same name as the folder on my phone) and it simply merged the pics beautifully as one folder. Thanks once again.

Have you tried going to settings apps photos and clearing the defaults?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
I don't think you can choose the app it links to I just use Google plus so it changed

From my understanding, gallery is supposed to be phased out. However, have you tried uninstalling g+?

as personal preference im not a fan of "date view" I organize via folders so my OCD kicks in, I create albums(collections) and by default its oldest to newest (which can be fixed via picasa pc web interface after some cursing and google) I just am not fan of the overall interface. Ideally; for example, id have a folder on my device and google photos would keep that folder so if i have a reddit saved images folder lets call it "reddit" it would backup my images to that folder and keep the folder structure on the google photos side.
Theres nothing wrong with the photo's app per-say i just prefer the "gallery" method of sorting and organizing
QuickPic, probably THE BEST 3rd party gallery app

yup, I've been using QuickPic for a while
Google Photos is terrible apart from being able to back up my photos for free

That's what I use. Just install the apk from within the zip.

Absolutely!! Quick pic is THE best Android gallery app BY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR. Seriouisly it's hands down the best. I can't even begin to list the reasons why cuz I don't feel like making a wall of text to crit you for over 9000!
QuickPic
In my opinion Sony album is better than quick pics. You can find the apk on xda
I've been using kk gallery app since it's basically just the aosp one.

Another vote for QuickPic here. Best replacement I found when Google Photos took over as the primary app for Nexus devices.

I can not find the gallery app anywhere.

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

That's a great question. Is the gallery app named above any good. I'm coming from a Samsung gs6 and this is my first Moto. Don't like the Google photos thing.
