Does anyone know a way to have Dropbox synced with your Samsung account without using internal memory. I like being able to select gallery and see the Dropbox pics there instead of having to go to the Dropbox app everytime. When I look on my S4 gallery, all of my Dropbox pics are shown. When you go to storage on the Note, gigabytes of data are taken up by the Cloud. Please help if anyone knows!!

go into settings-->cloud--> and the 2nd row, make sure pictures and videos are completely disabled
on my s4, it would actually download them off the cloud and delete them....
i freaked out that my files were missing from the cloud and figured out that was the case

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!
I have a tendency to accidentally lose photos (eg: SD card crashes, etc.), and wanted to know the best program that automatically uploads photos to the cloud, whether it be Picasa or whatever.
I know joining Google+ allows you to do this, but the big problem is it resizes the photos prior to uploading them, and I wanted to keep the native size.
I've tried Picasa Mobile, but it doesn't organize photos well at all and doesn't let the native camera app automatically upload photos. Any other suggestions?
Have you tried dropbox? They upgrade your 2 GB with an additional 500MB when you elect to upload automatically.

I love using Dropbox for picture upload. Up to 6 GB now and the nice thing is, I just bought a new laptop, downloaded the Dropbox app on the computer and it downloaded all my pictures back to my computer.

agree with Dropbox. Photobuck mobile app also allows to do this.
You can use "Folder Sync" android free app. Free user can add one folder to sync with your favorite cloud. If you can buy premium version you can sync unlimited folders with different cloud services.
As well as you can use "DropPin " but it only support dropbox.
FolderSync:- https://play.google.com/store/apps/...d.foldersync.lite&feature=more_from_developer
Dropin:- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ondraz.dropin

Hope these information will be useful!
The SGN2 will probably get 50GB Dropbox for free.
How does this work on Android? On my PC there is a local folder that gets synced with Dropbox but if it works the same on Android where is the data stored if you only have 16GB on your device?
Can you get Dropbox to work with an SD Card? With a 64GB SD card I could get all my 50GB Dropbox data on there.
No, it only saves files you open. If you open a document, it's gonna cache it on the Internal memory. AFAIK there's no way of making it sync like a desktop does.

There is a "star" option in dropbox app which allows you to get offline access to your favorite (stared) files.
So i keep there the files i really need on the go.
It doesnot save files on your device it saves it online in cloud servers of dropbox.
Was looking through my file manager to see what is taking up internal space. Noticed that:
/media/cloudagent/cache/root/
contains my Drop Box images at full resolution.
So now that's not really a "cloud" is it? WTF? Currently occupies 2 gigs of space. I was hoping to store images on DropBox to save space. Not mirror it as a backup.
Or am I doing it wrong somehow?
Thanks.

I have had the same problem.
Do you have Dropbox installed with CAMERA UPLOAD Turn on (in Dropbox settings) and also Pictures and Video Sync enable in Settings->Cloud->Pictures and ->Videos in the phone?
To solve this I have disable Settings->Cloud->Pictures and ->Videos in the phone, this avoid you to have a copy of the pictures you have in Dropbox under the folder "Camera Uploads" in local in your phone in storage/sdcard0/cloudagent/cache/root/Camera Uploads.
I have also left the Dropbox CAMERA UPLOAD Turn on, in this way each time I do a picture it is storage in the external card of the phone (in my case) and it is uploaded to Dropbox but it don't left another copy in storage/sdcard0/cloudagent/cache/root/Camera Uploads
Hope this help you.
If my english is not good enough, I can try to explain it in other manner.
When I first bought my Note 8.0, I added my Dropbox account to the Cloud sync under Setting>Personal>Cloud>Contents Sync thinking that it would be kind of cool to have my dropbox contents downloaded on my Note 8.0 without needing to wait for the download when I need them. Since then, I've found out that the Cloud function downloads my stuff into a file called "cloudagent" on my internal SD instead of my external SD and it's not really as useful as what I thought it to be. Plus, I discovered that Dropsync does the job that I want it to do excellently.
So my question is, how can I remove my Dropbox account from the CloudSync? I positively remember adding my Dropbox account manually and it wasn't something that was there automatically after logging into the Dropbox app. Thanks a lot, guys!
You should be ableto unlink the device through dropbox`s settings or go into android settings and remove the dropbox account.
If you get foldersync or dropsync you can sync any folder you want o you sdcard. I think the free dropsync allows one folder.

Yeah I unlinked the device from dropbox's permissions, so at least I know that it's not going to start downloading stuff into my internal SD. Problem is, on my device side of things, now that I've revoked its permission to access my Dropbox, the "space used" section just keeps on loading and loading and when I click on my account, there's a button that says "Sync all" and nothing else. No "remove account" or anything of that sort. It's been like that for a week now and it's finally eating on my nerve.
I got the paid version of Dropsync while it was on sale and it's a great app to use. Anyway, thanks for your time. I guess I'll just bear with that annoying loading until it finally realizes that the reason it can't load anything is because it doesn't have the permission to.
Mine has remove acct at the top of the acct screen. Odd it's not on yours. I running civs rom if that makes a difference.
