On my GS2, I would just hit usb and picassa would import them. On the GS3, it is different. How do I get my photos off the phone onto my pc?
Thanks
Go to the dcim folder and drag and drop to your computer

I have been looking for an app that will upload/backup/sync my photos from my phone to an online storage folder. There are many that will sync from the cloud to my phone, but I cannot find any that allow uploading/syncing from my phone to the cloud.
Anyone know of any such app?
I would use dropbox. You can transfer things back and forth. Also any aosp ROM will let you sync photos to your picasa account. Hope this helps.

I forgot to state in the OP that I want to be able to do the sync/upload in bulk. With over 600 photos on my phone now, and the potential to add 50-100 a day when on vacation or at work, I can't upload each individual file, which is what the Dropbox app requires.
I've never had any luck with Picassa, but I'll try it.
I'm using photobucket. Auto upload and then I pull them off as a zip. Easy and in the background.

I use it too, but I don't sync tons of pictures so I don't know how it works when you do bulk uploads. Something to try I suppose...
Is there a way to hide folders or photos in the stock gallery?
Album art and other things show that I would rather hide.

I don't think so. Only way I can think of is move them to SD card and unmount SD whenever you have the need to hide them.

Check out Gallery Lock from the market. .99 cents and the app hides any pictures from the gallery you want hidden, also has stealth launcher, so the app that says gallery lock is also hidden. To open it, you dial a 4 digit code in the dialer, and it opens. I reply like the app!

U can get gallery excluder apk from xda, just do search. That would work perfect, it's what I use

You can also add a blank file named ".nomedia" to the folder with the files you want to exclude from the gallery. It's recursive and all sub folders from that point will be excluded.
I had to do this with podcasts that were showing up in my gallery.

yup, this is the best solution .nomedia works across all android devices, it will make the graphic apps ignore the folders with the empty .nomedia file
Photo vault does the trick

Thanks for everyone's input and ways of doing this. I wasn't able to hide the album art, but the rest is now hidden.
Thanks again. xoxoxo

hide it pro is legit you can hide pics videos apps conversations etc and it it disguised as a program called audio manager
The .nomedia file has to be the first file in a folder in order to ignore media there. If files are already indexed, just rename such folders forth and back (opening the Gallery in the middle) and there you go.
You can use the Nomedia application for creating easily the .nomedia
Quickpic is a good app, hides full folders with password and it won't show unless you put the password. You can use your regular gallery app and have quick pic just hide the folders desired and they won't show on your regular gallery app

I think he just wants to hide them, not password protect them.
Put a . In the folder name
I.e.
.pix = hiden
Pic = shown
You can then see them in a filemanager app

This doesn't work when the folder name has to be preserved, you can't just add a dot to the name. Even if this did work, there are some applications that won't read files or folders marked as hidden, even if that is the predefined folder for their data.
So, there are two quite different solutions: one is adding a .nomedia to the folder and other renaming the folder or file itself with a dot in the front. Just choose what you need most.
I downloaded a pic from my Gmail account and now it has it's own photo album, for some reason I can't delete the picture or the damn album??
I also have what looks like a Picasa album that I can't delete but I don't even have a Picasa account.
Any suggestions. The only pics I can delete are camera photos.
NM figured it out. Annoying.
What did you end up doing?

I suggest you delete it from the sd card.
Hello,
I feel silly for even asking this but, I have been saving pictures from my gmail, yet they are not showing up in my gallery. I also used a file explorer to try and locate them but no luck there either. The only place they are visible is the stock downloads app. Any suggestions where they are going?! Thanks!
Probably downloads

Check out Samsung Link in the Play Store. It syncs all the media files between your Galaxy devices.

you've got 50GB of dropbox space. use it to autosync if you've got the bandwidth. it won't limit you to just samsung devices.

Couldn't get the mobile link thing to work. Typical crap Samsung software. The I realized that I can just enable upload automatically to Dropbox and see the same photos on all devices, provided I have internet access.
Only weakness of this is say when I'm travelling and take photos with my phone. Would be great to be able to look at the photos know a tablet screen on the airplane or at the airport. Hotel wireless is also usually extremely slow.

dropsync can auto sync just about any folder (except system - foldersync can do those). free version will do one folder.
Dropsync is excellent

I don't have two Samsung devices, so I don't know if it works or not, but I saw this app in the Samsung app store...Smart Switch Mobile.
Maybe, along with folder sync, etc, it might be what you're looking for.

If I want to use dropsync to sync gallery between android devices, where do I locate the "gallery" folder? I can't find it..........
Thanks,

There is no gallery folder. What's presented in gallery is the result from scanning your SD card, ignoring directories with a .nomedia file.
Your foto directory resides in your internal SD and is named DCIM.
