Why on Earth is it creating a "All Downloads" folder that has all the photos I have attached to emails? I have to either hide the album or keep deleting the images. I dont want them in there. Is there a fix?
Just delete them...
If I remember right you need to try going into the gallery and then selecting menu/settings. If photo sync is checked, uncheck it.

I am on latest andromadus, and when I go to gallery and select pictures there is not an option to delete pictures. If I am in the camera app part, i can view and select a single picture and delete it, but when it links me to gallery I again do not have the option to delete pictures. Any suggestions?
not sure which gallery andromadus uses but have you tried long press? maybe highlight a pic and hit menu or more? use a file manager? download a different gallery app?
My wife's Nexus has several folders in the gallery, one is named "Instant upload". She can't delete the photos in that folder and when I connect it to my pc, I can't find that folder.. Its pictures she has taken btw.. Thanks..
Those are the photos that have been uploaded to Google+/Picasa. (it shows the Picasa icon next to the folder name)
The whole picture isn't on the phone. Just the thumbnail. If you want to delete it you must do so from Google+ or Picasa.
How can I do this? I want to be able to view the photos via the Dropbox app but I dont want them appearing in the Gallery
Edit: Is it to do with linking device to Dropbox? I dont remember that option being there on my S3 and never had this issue then?
Edit 2: Unlinked device.Put my details in again.Must have missed the tickbox "Upload existing photos"

Settings -> Cloud -> on DropBox synchronization -> Picture and Video off
If it's just the gallery you don't want want them to appear in, you could try putting a blank file in that folder ".nomedia" that stops any images, mp3s etc... showing up in the gallery and music app respectively.

Post 2 is correct
Dropbox images showing in Gallery is a samsung service not dropbox.
It is configured in Menu > settings > cloud

I just want to add that after doing this your photos will STILL get uploaded to your Dropbox account,

And!!!
As this is a sync service, if you delete images from the gallery (dropbox images) it will also delete them from dropbox!

What about facebook pics? How do i get rid of them from showing in the gallery. I tried gallery>view by>Contents in device, but once i exit the gallery and re enter, the facebook albums still show up.
Facebook ones are deactivated in the facebook app itself.
So I was having a problem syncing my FB events with my Google calendar and upon fixing it, I somehow unsynced my FB photos. The albums show up with no images. There's no option for photos in settings> accounts> FB and gallery options won't allow me to select FB. Also, if I select all the FB albums there is no option to delete! I would like to get the images synced or at least remove the albums. Any help is appreciated.
I really like the way the Stock Android Gallery app handles my photo, rather than the Sony Album app. But recently I noticed that my phone has a number of photos that supposed to be deleted re-appeared in my Gallery app. Very strange.
I installed Google KitKat 4.4. Gallery and Camera app , installed google plus, thus the "photo app" came together as well. All photos save to SD card DCIM folder by default. I did make sure that cache cleared, thumbnail rebuild after each test below:
1. Delete a photo from Gallery App, it disappear from all photo viewing apps, including the Sony Album App.
2. Check ES Explorer, the photo supposedly deleted still in there.
Tried again, using the Google Plus photo app
1. Delete a photo from Google Plus Photo App; made sure empty the Bin as well. Check all photo viewing app, the photo has been removed.
2. Checked ES Explorer again, the photo deleted is still there!
Then I tried Sony Album App
1. Delete a photo from Sony Album App. All photo viewing apps have the photo removed
2. ES explorer: this time it removed the photo there as well!!
Is this some kind of feature that the google apps build to protect accidental deleted image? If so, how come the photos are still there after Bin was emptied? How to make sure the photos that I wanted to delete is genuinely deleted? (apart from using other apps)

It gives you the option when setting up the Phone to backup to Google so check your sync settings.
I didn't even turn on the photo auto backup. So there is nothing I can set there except from logging into google account.
As for the Gallery app, I can find any setting regarding deleting photos. There is not even a Bin folder in there.
Bump. Anyone can help?
