Random photos and albums in gallery

I have 2 random photo albums in my gallery which I can't delete. Instant uploads and scrapbook photos. I don't want these. 1 has a random photo in it I never took and the other is empty. How can I delete them, I can't find a way to delete! Most annoying!

Hello,
Instant uploads is the photo album created by Google+ and I must say it's pretty decent. It uploads (if you agree at the setup) your pics to G+ and stores them for you. No one can see them, you have to decide if you want to publish them. You can delete it from G+ account on your PC (haven't tried from mobile).
Second one is either another G+ photo album, or one from Picasa? Try Picasa Web Albums to see if it's there.
Cheers

Photo upload software/apps

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone knew of a good app or method for instant backup of your photos/videos without having to manually copy and paste while connected to PC.
I'm currently using Google+ and it's instant upload feature to back everything up but would like something different since some of the pics I don't want to share with the world/google.
I'm fine with paid apps as long as it gets the job done, but free apps are always better.

default setting for google+ instant upload is private. so you're not sharing to the world, but only to both google and you.
if you don't mind to spend some money, "dropsnap" app is quite good for instant upload to dropbox (free 2gb cloud storage, can pay if want more)

Dropsync with Dropbox works great for me. As soon as I connect to wifi all the photos on my phone are uploaded to my private photos folder in Dropbox.

Live video streaming to cloud?

OK. Because of ICS I am having a hard time finding something to suit my needs.
I work a lot with professional musicians and like to record and upload video information. I am also into political activism, and what I would like is a video app that records and streams/uploads to a cloud as you record or shortly after.
I used to use QIK, but it isn't available. After sideloading it, it has now become a limited service. (On my EVO it was unlimited, now it's like 50 videos or something)
Any way to upload videos this way, avoiding Facebook, Twitter, and all the other ways that publish directly to social media sites?
I liked this option because I could record like 5-6 takes and only "share" the one I like on Facebook or Twitter. Thank you in advance.

Have you already tried Justin.tv Broadcaster? I don't know if it works with ICS and if the video quality is good.
You can use the Nexus camera app and upload later to the cloud via ftp.

No, thank you though. I'm hoping for something that uploads to a cloud I don't own. I have an FTP, but I'm hoping for something easier.

[Q] is there a way to store transferred video files in Google play movie app?

Is there a way to store shows, movies, and videos I load in the Google Play movies & TV App? I would like my videos to display for selection just like downloaded store content. I know I can go to settings and personal videos, but they are being stored in my gallery by default.
Thanks,
Rick

A few years ago was possible but nowadays not. Use Drive, Dropbox, Box etc.

Thanks for the reply. So, is it better than to just download a separate video app. I don't download much content from Play, and may make the default app disabled and just add a third party app.
I'm coming from iOS and just not as familiar with how all content gets integrated in.

Anyone else have any feedback? Where do you store your video content you will consume later? I'm coming from iOS where all media was stored in the player regardless if it came from ITunes store or was manually loaded onto the device.

I store mine on the N7 in either the Videos or Movies folder where MX Player can find them, though it would find them wherever I put them.
I also keep some on my pc for viewing at home by streaming them to the N7 with ES File Explorer.

Stop creation of photo albums?

Is there any way to stop the phone from creating so many albums? I have Camera, downloads, Snapchat saved photos, Instagram, vscocam, messenger etc....ideally I'd just have one album in chronological order of photos. Can this be done?

The app redirect in the play store MIGHT be able to do that but you realize its pretty much the apps themselves that are creating those folders, not the phone. I run none of those extra apps and I only have Camera, downloads (which is a standard android folder) and screenshots.
