Cloud agent eating up my space - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As per title I would like to know why cliudagent eating up all my space on the internal memory. I used file explorer to see whats in there its all the pictures. But all my pictures actually stored on the extsd. Would it be ok to just delete cloudagent folder contents ?
Could this be due to gallery syncing all my added acounts photos (facebook) to my phone to make them available offline ?
How would I turn it of ?

This is the cloud agent syncing all your data from dropbox, facebook, etc. Since i have over 40,000 pictures on my Dropbox and don't need all of them on my phone, I just stopped the sync and then cleared its data. That fixed it.
To turn it off, go into the settings and there's an option for it in Settings > Cloud

Thanks for that. I fi turn sync off will it continue uploading my pics to the cloud ?

No. But I would like to suggest this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full
I use this to automatically upload new pictures and changes from phone to dropbox, and drop box to phone when charging, on wifi and at night. You can basically set it up however you like though. Great app well worth your money. It also supports a ton of cloud websites. Give it a whirl.

[Q] App to sync photo's to online storage?

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...

App to keep pictures backed up?

I wanna have my dcim folder on my phone to stay backed up is there an app to do that?

If you use Google+, then instant upload works great. Dropbox also has its own camera upload feature. It'll upload all the pictures you currently have on your phone to your dropbox and will automatically upload new ones as you take them. Hope this helps!

Oh hmm I may have to make a drop box. Thanks

No problem!
I just use Google+ for my photo backups. I can delete them anytime I want. Plus if you ever have to reset your phone, your pics will show up in your gallery as soon as you sign in. Waay convenient.

I'd say dropbox is your best bet.
Why not just enable picasa in the gallery, or Google+? They both will automatically send your pics to the cloud. Even in real time as you take new photos.

I also suggest Google+ since it's integrated with your google account and (personal preference) I like having everything in one place. I've had some issues with dropbox sucking up network time like an bandwidth vampire.

Facebook not syncing photos with contacts

Sorry if this question has already been asked, I searched, which is useless with the xda app and did not find anything. Has anyone else had issue with Facebook contact photos not syncing with contacts in address book?

Did you check the sync settings for facebook and select "sync with contacts"?

Facebook decided it wasn't going to place nice with google anymore and throw up all kind of restrictions on the API to sync contact pictures with Android. Basically it's not even supported with JB so that means you need to use a 3rd party app unfortunately. Don't ask me for sources because I read it somewhere when I was researching why my contact pictures weren't syncing. I just tried to go back and find where I read it but couldn't find it.
Personally, I've been using this app on the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.
Yeah, I read about Facebook not playing well with JB. I just use Friendcaster to sync contact photos then remembered to un sync it after it drained the battery not allowing the phone to sleep, if you don't un sync it syncs constantly.

Friendcaster doesn't have the option of how often it syncs? The app I recommended does. I have it set to once a day on wifi only. And you can specify how large you want the picture to be. High Quality photos on the N2 is amazing!!!

Do what they said with wiping all data from Facebook and unsync and then delete Facebook and re download it. Just be careful not to sync gallery again

Go to manage apps. Delete data and cache for facebook. You dont have to reinstall it I dont think.

Try settings>storage>miscellaneous and look for outliers there. When Cloud Agent pulled all my dropbox pics, they ended up here and I cleared up 4gb pretty easily.
Disable gallery, unsync facebook photos, delete data from gallery... reboot. . Goo to go.. or u should be

Happened to me some weeks ago. It's the SNS.APK and GALLERY.APK data that needed to be cleared! No need to reboot or unsync anything.
Huh

Is there a way to sync Gallery photos across Samsung devices?

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.
