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

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?
I have none of my picasa Albums selected of "view offline" however if I turn wireless off. I can still view the pictures. I plan to upload alot of pics to Picasa and don't want to fill my nexus up. I also noticed that my nexus 7 became laggy after I started putting pictures up on Picasa. I just want to make sure that it is copying all my pics down to the nexus.
Have you found an answer to this yet? I also have been trying to figure out the same thing. I thought at first it was just the thumbnails but once I view an album the pictures seem to remain cached despite my offline setting.
Isn't this to do with G+ instant upload???? Go to accounts in settings Google, then look at what syncs turn off Google pictures and instant upload and anything else that resembles g+ go to apps All scroll to gallery clear data and reboot and they'll be gone

Yes, from what I've gathered it is the G+ instant and Google Pictures sync that adds the "picassa" albums to the gallery. I actually wanted my picasa albums in my gallery, however as I have over 100 albums I wanted them visible and accessible when online (to save space). I only want to chose a few select albums (kids, work stuff, etc) to make "available offline" but so far it appears as soon as I view an album it saves the full images in cache and still shows up when I'm offline, I don't want my storage getting eaten up by pictures that I only plan to view when online.
I am currently running the latest kitkat version but have had the problem with previous version of Android as well. Every so often, I will go into my gallery, and all the pictures in the camera folder are gone. The other galleries are fine, it is just the location where the phone stores photos taken with the phone. I use a file manager and the folder is empty. I hook it up to the computer and still nothing. I save files to the internal memory, not SD card. I have dropbox set up to sync my photos. I don't see any setting which would delete the photos after they are synced, and even if there was such a setting the photos would be missing on a daily basis which they aren't. Luckily dropbox has been syncing so I haven't lost anything but it is pretty damn annoying. Any clue on this weirdness?
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
