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.

Whenever I use an ad-supported app, the phone downloads those pics into your memory so when I use the stock Gallery app to view my camera photos, these random craps also appear there. Is there any remedy to this?
Some programs may DL image files and store them to the device, and since the memory is internal you may have a few show up in the gallery...just delete them.
Also, Picasa and Google+ may be set to upload automatically and those photos may also show up.
I've been thinking about this idea, would it be possible to store
camera app pics and vids in different folders?
Would be a neat way to avoid transferring large files, like vids, to a ftp server, dropbox or similar place. I've looked for this but couldn't find anything...
On vanilla android, there is an option to "make an album available offline". My only assumption that this is for linking to some cloud-storage but what is it talking about? Google Photos? Can you use that with DropBox? Is there a way to use Google Photos without having it sharing with Google+ and what not?
Making an album available offline "should" cache/download selected Google albums to your phone such that they are available even when you in airplane mode. Having said that - all my Google account photos seem to be available, whether I'm on or offline. Also, photos uploaded into Google+ remain private unless you explicitly indicate who you want to share the photo/album to among your Google+ friends/circles.
I've also noticed that my albums whether in Picasaweb or Google+ are available and accessible from either web-app.
Dropbox, from the Dropbox app, has its separate "camera upload" feature to copy your photos to your dropbox folders. Select a private folder to keep your photos private.
But how do you get the pictures to Google Photos? You can't "sync" with DropBox, right, just auto upload? Must you have the photos go to Google+?

Hey. This should be a really simple thing to set up, but apparently it's not. I have a Galaxy S4 phone and have recently purchased the Nexus 7 to replace my old tablet. All I want to do is have these two devices sync photos with one another, so that the gallery app on each device displays the same content. I'm trying to do this via Google+ as this should be the easiest method.
On my phone I have various albums within the gallery, sorted into different folders on the SD card. In G+ I have the Auto-Backup option ON and my photos and videos are synced and appear here. But they are not organised into the albums I have them in on my phone. G+ on my phone says I've used 7.4GB of my allowance.
Now when I go to G+ on my Nexus 7, and go to the Photos section, it doesn't find anything. However it does find my videos for some reason, but no photos at all. This seems odd since it's the same app, just accessed from two different devices. Now if I go to the gallery app on the Nexus, an album does show up called 'Auto Backup'. But this contains only my most recent photos taken and all my videos.
So G+ isn't consistent between the two devices and neither is the gallery app. This seems to me like something that should be very easy to achieve - I'm wondering if the gallery app I use on my phone is a Samsung version of the stock Android app and is possibly causing problems. But G+ has uploaded everything to my account so it should be accessible from any device, right?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Hm, that sounds odd... Works for me on my LG Spectrum 2 and Nexus 7 perfectly fine.
So I'm right to think those arrangements should work fine? I've not missed something?
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:
