Hello everyone,
I have racked my brain to find a solution in vain. So I ask for help
In my gallery, I have a file named Drop Box ( but the icon is picasa)
I cannot delete the file and delete the photos inside the file.
How do I delete photos inside this file?
It's different from other normal files which can be deleted.
In my dropbox, I don't have any shared file. I don't have the photo which is inside the file actually in my dropbox.
I don't use picasa as well.
With reference to the following thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351600
I don't have the same options given by other users as I am using tablet Nexus 2013, not phone.
Thank you very much!

Hello people,
I have a HTC Desire, a friend of mine is interesting in getting one for himself, he has aksed me a question but I don't know the answer so I thought I would ask here.
Basically what we want to know is it possible to hide files on the HTC Desire. Can this be done with or without using an app, if it can be done without an app howso. If I need an app, which one. Not sure if he wants to lock/hide or files to show under a fake name, can this be done.
His concern is that becuase of the way Android is all files would show up if someone was to look up the stuff on the phone/SD card.
Not sure if this makes sense
Thanks in advance for any help.
download filebro lite
Thanks for the prompt reply. Does this hide files. I think my friend wants to be able to hide any file. Also prevent certain media files from showing open when you open the image viewer/music player/video player etc
What I do to keep Gallery from listing my pornstars photos from it is:
With file manager (any, there are a bunch in the market) I created a hidden directory (any file/folder starting with period is hidden, so I named the folder .porn) and the gallery cannot see it. If I want to see the content of that dir, I start the file manager and browse in that directory.

Hi all,
I make some pics with my camera, than I moved using root explore (select all and than move) from DCIMto another folder that I created.
Here ok, but the problem is that I did more pics with the camera and had the same name as the previous.....I didn't recognize and I paste all the new pics in the same folder that I created before....the app replaced all the oldest pics with the new ones, and I can't find in the folder all the pics together.....
I think that the pics are been replaced as they have the same name...
Could you please help how to find the files? I can only see the last pics!
Many thank
Ps: no message from the app to confirm to replace the files after I paste!
If the pictures have been overwritten then you may be out of luck. Download Recuva and do a full scan of your SDCard if it finds them you may be able to recover them.
Similiar thing happenned to me and I lost 1500 pictures. After hours of searching for the right program I recovered over 1000 off them back using a program called Recover It or something like that. Recover it should be a free program is I'm not mistaken.
Thank-you All for your idea....I record the photo using card recovery.
The pics have a small resolution (800x470) but are perfectly good...
Thank for your support
Is it possible to keep certain picture files from showing up in my gallery?
My problem is my gallery is flooded with pics from all my UCCW files , very cluttered it is !
Thanks for the help .
Yeah just name them something else the gallery won't be able to show like .txt. or you could mount USB to PC and select and delete any pics you don't want there.

If you create a file named .nomedia and place it in a folder, any pictures in that folder will not be shown in the gallery. There are probably a few .nomedia files in folders on your phone already that you could copy/paste as well.
Either that or use QuickPic

I read... alot! And every time I download an EPub book it puts the cover art into my gallary as a new folder. I have over 200 in there now! Is there a way to put them into a separate folder and keep the main gallary folder for just my photos - still have them work as far as displaying the art and download to the new folder?? Or perhaps have my photos go to a specific folder?

Create a .nomedia file in your ebook folder and it will skip that folder for scans.
I had to do that for quite a few locations to skip them.

I appreciate it but how would I go about doing that? Not a complete newb, just a partial one.
I use an app called es file explorer for all sort of file/folder related tasks.
I browse to the folder on my internal or external card and hit new to create file in that folder and name that file .nomedia

Tried that but it doesn't seem to be working. I"m searching the device for other places to do this with and see if that works.
That worked! Thanks alot!
Sorry guys my parents bought this phone and I don't own one so I don't know how else to help them. They were wondering where the download folder was since it seems the note 4 doesn't have that specific folder in the apps directory anymore. Also the my files doesn't seem like it has an all files folder either. So how do you check and delete downloaded files?
The my files app has a section for it.
Its in the local storage section of the my files app. you can see all your files there.
Google might be able to help you also.

Also, my files app, settings, then check show hidden files.
Call me a noob, but when I copy files in the "Download" folder (My Files>Device Storage) and I open Dropbox and select to Upload "Other Files", Dropbox goes immediately to the Downloads folder which is blank. I would like to know where the heck this "Downloads" (shown in dropbox) is located. I don't think Downloads in dropbox is the same as Download in Device Storage.
