[Q] Google+ Instant Upload (Creates 2 folders in Gallery on phone) **HELP**

Hi there,
I have turned on instant upload on my phone and sure enough all images are uploaded to google.com\+.
When I go onto the internet on my laptop and look at the "photos from your phone", all my photos are there.
However, if i login to Picasa web album, I see 2 instant upload folders. One titles "instant upload" the other titled "instant upload 2009-01-03 - 2012-01-14".
Sure enough, in my gallery (on my phone) I see the 2 folders...
I had gone onto picasa web albums and moved all images over from the instant upload with date folder to just instant upload (verrified they were all in the right folder) checked on my phone (sure enough all in 1 folder)... but then BAM it re-created the 2nd folder and moved them back.
What's going on here!!!

I was thinking about the same thing!
I tried to consolidate as well, think there is a number limit so it starts to separate the pictures into new folders by date. Annoying really.
1000 photos limit per folder.

I had this problem before I flashed my phone back to yakju.
I managed to solve this, but I can't for the life of me remember how. Try the Google+ app or through Google+ on your browser
Any info on how this was solved? I recently stared seeing 3 folder for Instant Upload in my gallery and wanted to see how to fix this!

Move the pictures to a different folder. That is the solution. There is a limit to the number of pictures in a single folder.
Scratch that. Will do.
is there any way to make instant upload upload other albums and not just the camera one?

Picasa Album Cache

Since the ICS gallery allows offline viewing of Picasa photos, they must be stored somewhere. But I can't find where. Anyone know where they are downloaded to?

with a file explorer go to the android folder on your internal sd storage, data, com.google.android.gallery3d folder. i dont think that they are actually downloaded though.
Looked in there and there doesn't appear to be any pictures. But since I can view the gallery offline or with no signal, they MUST be somewhere??
Look in the Google+ storage. I believe the Gallery now switches to using G+ for storage when you are logged into that app.
Look in sdcard/Android/data/com.android.gallery3d/cache. There are a great many picasa-... folders there (which contain files with a .screen extension), along with one picasa_covers folder (which contain files with a .thumb extension). Not sure if these files are the pics cause I can't see them at the moment, but it's a start.

Off topic sorry, I have a question.... you cant share a picasa pic from the gallery ? i wanted to send a pic from picasa within the gallery to a friend but it would not let me
Location
All albums which were selected for offline viewing is stored under /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.plus/cache. you will see picasa-xxxxxx folders, which contain images without any extension. Google has made it as hard as possible. Most threads discussing this topic are old and the only reply you would see is that only thumbnails are being saved and not the images

getting rid of picasa
I have a rooted galaxy note 2 and I had picasa pics in my photo gallery that I could not delete. I disabled the picasa uploader and searched everywhere for the pictures, I had no luck so I used my file manager and searched the system file and found several picasa files. So then I used root explorer and searched picasa and then deleted all the picasa files and then rebooted and the picasa pictures were gone. I don't care for picasa and have no intention of ever using it. But that route worked very well for me.
Hey, I know this is an old thread, but, I stumbled across this page looking for a way to backup the synced Facebook gallery images on my sister's phone. Some jerk who stole her old phone logged into her Facebook and deleted all of her pictures. Lucky for us they were all showing up in her phone still under Facebook albums in the Gallery. I want to thank simms22 because I found the cache files in internal storage/Android/data/com.sec.android.gallery3d/cache it seems that all of the folders that start with "sns-" are Facebook albums, all of the albums starting with "picasa-" are, well, Picasa albums. Each folder contains each picture without an extension. I simply transferred them to my computer and used a bulk rename utility to add .jpg to every file, and, voila! We got her pictures back! They are definitely not the original size, however, this is much better than complete loss of all photos! I'm just really glad my sister chose not to update her Facebook sync info with her new password so I could save her data for her!

Can't access photos using laptop!

Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II. I just tried going into my gallery while mounting my phone to save pictures on my laptop. I go into the phone (not SD Card), then "DCIM", and finally "Camera" folder. Now I have two "Camera" folders in my gallery on my phone, one with about 48 images in it and the other with over 1000 photos which is where all my photos are automatically saved to when I take new photos. The folder labeled "Camera" only shows me the 48 photos I don't need, but the one with over 1000 photos is nowhere to be found! All other folders there don't show the photos I'm looking for. What should I do?
I also cannot find the folder called "downloads" that contains all images I saved from text messages people sent me. If you need any other info, please let me know.
Additional information is that in my gallery, there is an icon showing that the photos are being saved to the SD card (the Camera folder) but when I look in the folder in my SD card, it shows the photos I took with my old phone, not the ones I am taking now. The "downloads" folder I'm talking about isn't in the DCIM folder at all, and it doesn't have an SD Card icon on it so it should be in the phone. But the "downloads" folder doesn't show me the images I saved from text messages I received from friends it only shows the images and other things I've downloaded on my browser.
Thanks in advance!
I've resolved the problem, thank you! I was wondering if someone could delete this thread? I am unable to do it myself. Thank you!

Dropbox does not keep notes on pictures

Hello guys,
i know this is not a real bug, but for me is a problem.
as we all know, Gallery App by Samsung allows you to take a note on every photo taken. It's really cool for me and one of the reasons why I bought the Note II.
If i backup my pictures, delete those on device and restore them simply copying DCIM folder...all pictures keeps its note
If i try to restore my pictures from Dropbox folder...i don't have any note.
I noticed that Dropbox automatically renames pictures but only when using automatic upload, with manual upload does not happen.
Have you got any idea on how to keep my notes on Dropbox? thanks!
EDIT: i've tryied to upload manually a picture with a note, delete the original picture in gallery, then i downloaded from dropbox the copy and....keep the note!
I think it's a problem about renaming files or because the automatic upload modify something else that i can't figure out
