Hi,
Is anyone experiencing any issues with Dropbox and camera uploads not syncing?
It seems that my photos have not uploaded since I got my S8.
All my settings appear fine, i have 2 camera folders one is on internal drive and the other is on the sd card.
Would be grateful for any suggestions on how to fix this.
Thanks
I changed to S8 last week, all my Dropbox files from the old phone are transferred successfully and the auto upload works since then.
Works for me and I flashed multiple firmwares.
Will see if it uploads tonight my pics from today.
No issues for me.

Seems to be working again now.

i recently rooted my X with a liberty rom, and since doing all my pictures thru gallery have been lost. My downloaded pics can still be seen via astro, but all of my camera pics are gone. Thought maybe the rom was at fault so flashed a liquid rom and the problem still exists. Anything i can do to recover my lost pictures?
thanks
Your camera pictures should be stored on the sd card under the folder DCIM. Flashing a ROM usually doesn't touch the sd card, but I always plan for the worst when making any major changes. For future reference a good way to backup all your pictures is the sugarsync app. It syncs all your new photos automatically to your sugarsync account.
I did search before posting this, but all posts go back to months and years, and none have a resolution and none have to do w/ the S4 or Jelly Bean.
Between last night and this morning all my pictures except the 3 I took yesterday have disappeared. I store camera images to my SD Cards and I have several other folders w/ 100s of pictures. It doesn't appear any other pictures are missing, only the ones stored in the DCIM folder of my SD Card.
Has anyone else noticed this issue?

Got my 6P yesterday and getting it set up. I Have an issue I just can't seem to get around easily. I have all my pics from my last phone stored on my computer. If I copy those pics to the internal storage of my new phone google photos will create duplicates correct? If so how can I avoid this? I'm sure I am overlooking something. Thanks
I think it intelligently skips dupes based on file name and timestamp info. I had Google Photos on my Nexus 6 and loaded it onto my 6p to get access to all the old ones. I then remembered that I had a ton of photos in Dropbox and Copy with their respective photo backup options from multiple years on old phones (before Google Photos existed). I went on my PC and downloaded ALL of them (like 3,000 photos) then uploaded via Google Photos web. Some of those were already in there for sure, and it does not appear there are duplicates. I would try it with a small test that you know for sure is in there and see if it dupes, and if it doesn't, just upload from PC. No need to move to your phone first.
I used Chrome and I just dragged and dropped the photos onto the Google Photos tab and it uploaded. I let it run overnight and it did almost 2,000 photos in one shot, just took a while.

Thanks, that kinda worked. I disabled backup before copying the pics to my phone just in case it started backing things up. It did appear there were many duplicates but it was easy to see what was a duplicate bu the not backed up icon in the pics. Once I removed them I turned back up back on. Minor inconvenience.
I'm hoping someone can help me.
For no explainable reason on my part, all my photos have disappeared. I can not see any photos in gallery or Google photos. I can however located photos that I took with my camera in DCIM Folder, however these don't show up in either photo app. I have tried restating and clearing gallery cache etc I have even tried restoring using smart switch to an earlier backup however the problem still exists.
Any clues what's going on?
Update: for some odd reason my phone was filled with ".nomedia" files. I deleted them all, restarted my phone and ran an app called "Media Re.Scan" and they magically reappeared. However only camera photos have reappeared. Other media has not, but I'm not sure they were visible to begin with. I would really appreciate if someone has a theory for this.
Update 2: Don't delete all .nomedia files as this will cause all jpeg files to show up in your gallery including system files and apps etc that have images. Instead only delete .nomedia files found in your photos folder and folders you want to appear in gallery etc. Make sure show hidden files is selected to find these files in the first place. I used ES file Explorer Pro.

Thanks. problem solved!
seeing the same problem in s8
i just got samsung s8 recently. i am new to the samsung phone but i am seeing the exact same problem. i see pictures i took from earlier today and a few fays ago just magically disapper. I have tried multiple things like deleting the cache, data, using quick pro, cut and paste the dscim in a new folder, deleting the .nomedia but i CANNOT make those missing pictures reappear anywhere. Anyone else who ran into this and maybe have fixed the problem?
I'm having the same problem on my S8...taking new pics & downloading pics/gifs then they disappear out of nowhere the next day or so. Just started happening after the last software update (4/3/18). Not sure why or how to recover them. I've had my phone since April 2017 & it's never done this before.
Photos corrupted
Hi guys,
sorry for resuming this post.
Happened this summer and never before on my SM-G935F ITV smartphone, never rooted and stock rom (Android 8).
I loose all the latest photos, or better they are on the card but the thumbnails are grey, I tried to open them with an hex editor and I discovered they are all filled by 0x0.
I used to save them directly on a SD from Huawei 256Gb, scanned and works perfectly.
The only dubt I have is the number of photos saved into the dcim folder, they are over 2048...magic number!
Once I moved the photos in another folder I can take the photos again as usual...
It's just to know if I discovered a bug or what...
Any one with this issue?
Thanks, Pier
I was on holiday for 3 weeks and using s10+ to take a lot of photo but just before the holiday finish I find that all the photo taken before June are all gone. All I have left with are the photos taking since June 1st. I look at the recycle bin but there is nothing. Also tried unmount and remount the sd card but it doesn't help either.
There are some other reports on the internet for the same issue. I am just wondering does anyone here has a clue on how to get the missing photo back?
Just a thought but check your Google photos if they are there perhaps? Google photos sometimes deletes pics from your phone after uploading them to the cloud.
