I like the fact that Amazon has unlimited photo storage. However their PC app is not integrated with Explorer in Windows like Google's is. It makes it much easier to open photos in Photoshop, work on them and and save them back to the cloud. So has anyone been successful in getting their photos taken with this phone to upload to Google Photos?
If you install G+, it saves Photos in googles cloud
Hmm I can't install Google + on mine. Am I missing something? It's listed as not compatible on the play store. Should I just drop the apk in?
Okay jus installed the apk from a reliable source (but not the play store) and it's uploading photos
Is there a way to do it without Google framework? I installed all 4 APKs and it killed battery life with Play Store Services (although I guess that could be due to uploading photos/videos in the background!). I went back to stock and I'm trying to survive on stock for now (had to sideload Pebble APK, Ring.com APK, and Acorns APK though.
Thanks!

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.

I flashed Viscous JB Rom to my Verizon GNEX, and everything went relatively well. The only issue was the gallery wasn't working. I could only see local storage, not my picasa/google+ web albums. I did some searching and found gapps "JRO03C GApps Package 08/11/12". It claimed to fix the gallery and it sort of did. Now I can see my picasa/google+ web albums, but for whatever reason, I can't do anything with the photos beyond viewing them. If I try to edit them using aviary for example, it says, "Cannot download photo at this time". If I try upload them to facebook or instagram, the app just does nothing upon selecting the photo. It appears to be a problem with the URI used to fetch the photo, but I'm not even sure of that. Our nexus 7 tablet is running the exact same version of gallery as i flashed, and it can do any of those functions flawlessly, so I don't think its the gallery version (1.1.40000). Is there a separate photo picker in android that I can flash somehow? Any suggestions? Upload works fine. This is a big problem for me because I have thousands of photos in my picasa web albums and use them pretty regularly.

I have the exact same problem, have you found a solution?
Not specifically a note 2 question, but maybe someone can help me out. I've been trying to share pictures taken between my wife and I on our phones. I have note 2 now and she has galaxy s3. I've been using google drive with an uploader program and shared a folder on each drive so when I take a picture, it uploads to my drive and that folder is shared with my wife and vice versa. that works but its clunky as the drive app kind of sucks for displaying photos and drive videos play like crap on the phone.
I've done the same thing with dropbox and thats better as at least the app has a photo section but that apparently only works with photos taken on my phone, so photos from the folder that my wife shared with me don't show in the photo section.
google + uploads photos but of course those get resized which i'm not crazy about, but at least those will display in the gallery. What I finally did last night is to add my wifes email to my phone and sync to picassa. Now I can see the photos she takes in the gallery, but that is a rediculously unsecure way to share photos. I guess not bad if its your wife, but still giving anyone access to your email isn't great.
Plus while it works on the gallery now, the gallery interface leaves a lot to be desired, I now have like 20 albums sitting there with no way to say Gallery, just show me the few I want to see.
And I still have to use dropbox or drive to upload fullsize photos as I don't want all my photos resized.
Hey guys I was using my alternate Google Play account to get samples for some Japanese manga directly from the Google Play Store. However I tried opening the sample I keep getting "Image Not Available" when I turn a page, it seems to only happen with foreign books. Is there a way I can fix this? I attached a couple screenshots for reference, any help is greatly appreciated!
If this is a legitimate copy and you are not trying to mod play books or play store at all, a simple email to google should get them to fix it. It seems to me like the sample just has the image not available embedded into it. To check, try zooming in to the not available page as far as you can and see if you can see the quality degrade. EDIT: since you are saying it is happening with foreign books, try changing your language to get the correct book, you may have to delete and re-download tho.
Oh okay, I can see the quality degrade as I zoom in. I'll try to email Google about it, the thing is that this is my Japanese Google account (long story involving VPN), should I email them?
When I was using the old phone, Google Photos automatically sort photos into different categories. I can browse photos of specific area like Osaka, Tokyo, Singapore, etc, and I can also browse photos of contains specific contents like foods, animals, etc.
Now it seems that the Google Photos is not doing this on Nokia phone!
Is it that Google Photos needs time or is there any option I need to tick for the new phone?
Thanks...
I am using a new Google account on this phone, and the photos taken already includes vegetables, selfies, and statues, but Google Photos don't classify them.
When I add my old Google account, I do can see the old classifications of the photos backuped on the other phone.
Another thing is... When I search for "vegetable", it does come up with a few photos...
So Google Photos is still doing auto tagging, maybe it just needs more time and more inputs to do classification? Actually many of the tasks are done in server side on Google server?
It seems it really needs time. The photos are classified now. :good:
