I had some hardware problem with my Arrive, but I recently force updated to 8773, so to opt out the software possibility, I restored a backup point, from there, I got this weird problem that the video I took, originally reside in the camera roll, disappeared, only photos can be sync back to the phone, the video could be also, but not in the original folder, and I have to open the Zune to find those. What a weird crap zune,

I transferred all the pictures & videos from my Nexus S onto my computer when I got the Galaxy Nexus, then transferred them onto my GN. On the Nexus S everything was in order based on the date I took the picture/video, but on the GN it shows all my videos first before the pictures. It seems the dates on all the videos were changed to the date I transferred them onto the GN, while the pictures stayed the same. It's pretty annoying when I want to look through the gallery & I can't find a way to re-order them properly.
Any ideas?
Anybody? I know it's not a major bug, but still pretty annoying.
Hi
Despite being with Android for about 3 years I still haven't found an adequate sync solution, mostly for photos and videos. Can anyone help?
What I want is to connect my phone to my laptop, which is a mac. I don't mind if the connection is USB, wifi or bluetooth. USB is more flexible, there are times when I can't get both devices onto the same wifi connection.
I want the software to look at my photo archive on my laptop, and copy over any new files. It just needs to look at a date - if there are new files since the last time I synced, I want it to copy them.
Even better, though not essential, would be if it didn't mind whether I'd deleted or moved files from the laptop. It wouldn't look backwards, just see that the last sync was 22nd July and then copy any files since then regardless of whether the photos from 20th July had been deleted from the laptop but where still on the phone. This makes it easier to sort photos once they're on my hard drive.
I've tried Cheetah Sync, which works ok but only over wifi. If I'm travelling, there may not be a wifi connection. It also copies over everything - so if a photo has been deleted on the laptop, it's replaced again.
dropbox will sync photos and videos automatically

Oh, ok. I'll have a look.
EDIT - I came across a new app called CloudVault, which uploads photos to GDrive as you take them or when you're next on Wifi. Pretty good solution for me.
Hy,
anyone saw that the new gallery update brings "Browse your photos and videos in the cloud" functionality?
Now I sure dont see any option for this but at night I got a notification from Coud that "duplicates has been deleted"...
I dont know where I can find this features, but I sure dont want any photos/videos uploaded to cloud without my permission... So if anyone have any info on this, I would really appreciate it.
Best regards

I have an htc one m7 that I just updated to the latest version, after a reboot it shows the same message "gallery cloud" duplicate... etc
It didnt ask for my permission, I have the htc sync disabled, cant seem to find the option to disable this POS. Not happy.
I just noticed this morning the same behavior. I am trying to find out where this service is coming from, why it is running without my permissions and why it is putting my personal information in the cloud somewhere and I don't know where or how to get it, shut it off, or change it. It has really pissed me off to no end. I am hoping someone has an idea.
Just came here looking for the same answer.
A bit of a **** move if HTC is uploading peoples pics without asking first!!
I've emailed HTC via the play store app and asked how do we turn this feature off. I'll post if I get an answer...
Chiming in. just saw this, not pleased. I'm thinking of disabling the app till a solution is found.
I might bin it too, don't want this feature using up my data allowance...I've got about 4000 pictures on my phone...
yea wtf
Same issue. my phone keeps giving me a Cloud Gallery notification every 10 minutes or so saying it deleted duplicate photos. What in the world HTC was thinking, we may never know. But they need to let us turn this off because I show it using my data. Not cool HTC.
To add to it, I open my gallery and its cycling through all of my photos. Constantly. I click a folder, then the 'highlights' starts fast-cycling through every single photo in the folder. Not like a preview as it used to (which was annoying). This needs to stop. As someone else mentioned, I also have thousands of photos on my phone and this is driving me nuts.

HTC Cloud Gallery does not upload any of your files to the cloud. It only indexes whatever you have on Dropbox, GDrive, FB, Flickr, only after you have agreed to link to those sites. If you see photos found by Cloud Gallery, those could be uploaded by Dropbox or GDrive automatically. You need to check their settings. Again, Cloud Gallery is a "read only" indexing service.
Started getting the same notification since the last few days -- and the worst part is that there doesn't seem to be a setting anywhere in the gallery app or in the system settings allowing to configure this "Cloud Sync" or turn it off all together.
And now I really don't know if my pictures got "synced" somewhere in someone's cloud Really annoying. Uninstalled the gallery app altogether with Titanium Backup root uninstall.

I have the same issue. Haven't found a solution yet but I wanted to let you know that freezing/uninstalling gallery will stop the cloud syncs but there are side affects.
I froze it and all seemed normal until I tried to set a contact image. Freezing gallery somehow disrupted the ability to link images to contacts. I tried it from within the contact app and through a third party gallery app and it wouldn't work either way. I had to defrost the HTC gallery in order to set the contact image.
There maybe other side affects but that was the only one that I ran into.
Hi people.
I recently bought a 64gb MSD card from eBay, and I had set the photos to be storaged at the external storage. Besides that I'm running Android 6.01
The problem is, last night I attended a wedding where I shot some pictures, and during last night I could see in the gallery that when I started taking the pictures, the pictures in the gallery was in the beginning there, however, soon after the gallery would say the pictures format was unrecognizable (WTF?), and the pictures would go missing from the phone. I've tried using the storage handling, which is provided by android. And I'm not able to see the picture. I've tried downloading ASTRO, and get it to show the hidden files. No luck either. I've tried erasing the .nomedia file from the MSD, still nothing.
I've tried here, the morning after to take a new photo, and I can see it's supposed to be saved at storage/emulated/o/DCIM/100media, So I've gone there by the USB port on my desktop, and I still can't see the pictures. I've been through every bloody folder on the storage without any result (And yes, I've tried installing the HTC app for desktops )
If you people have any idea how to get a hold of the pictures (If they are still there?), it would greatly appreciated!

I noticed that sometimes Google Photos creates duplicates without any obvious reason. This applies only for some but not for all pictures. The dupes are only visible on my HTC 10 but not on the cloud gallery. The file infos of both copies differ: One shows the file name without path information, the other one shows the complete file system path (DCIM folder as supposed). Deleting the former one removes it from the cloud while deleting the latter one removes it from DCIM folder but keeps both the copy in the cloud and in the local gallery. Even when it is removed from DCIM folder, the copy still seems to be stored locally on the phone (maybe in the Google Photos cache). Where would this be?
I tried to clear Google Photos app cache and data, starting from scratch. A few minutes later, the dupes appeared again.
Why is this happening? Who can I prevent this? Has anybody also experienced this?
I was really hoping to find an answer in this thread, just to see nobody has responded. I have this exact same issue.
It wasn't always like this, but the issue started a couple days ago. Photos is now randomly duplicating new photos taken with my OnePlus 3.
The duplicated photos are, however, also visible when accessing Photos from my Chromebook.

The issue disappeared a few days ago as unexpected as it appeared. Maybe some of the last Google Photos updates fixed it.
It just happened again.
Lol it happens sporadically for me. Not as often as it used to though

Happening to me too... Changed phones thinking it would fix it and alas, the issue is still there... Both phones are made by oneplus never had this issue on other device...
Hello random reader from future. Previous post is from dec 2016. This one is from aug 2017.
You are reading this in 2018, or later. Do not hope that google will fix it.
It's not a bug, it's Google Photos, it will do it if you change the name of the photo, copy it, move it to a new folder, take the SD card out and put it in the new device, send them again, see It's wrong and a dozen other reasons. No duplicate check or even MD5 checksum check on photos. Everything about it is new. Wait until you try to export your photos with Takeout, there will be even more duplicates! Try Duplicate photo finder software to remove all of your duplicates in your system
