It's an easy 5 GB. Just upload pictures and videos from your camera/phone. You must automatically upload the pictures/videos. Manually uploading does not work.

Thanks for the heads up. However, I got 50GB in Box.net accounts, so don't need this.

Have you placed all the pictures inside the DCIM folder? Also are you sure you are on the beta application? Also when you plug in the phone, do you click automatic upload with the dropbox logo next to it?

maybe you have autoplay disabled on your pc? the dropbox auto upload option will be in the autoplay list

How to stop gallery from showing EVERY picture it finds.

Tiresome sifting through pages upon pages of pictures from apps and such to find my personal media. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Should be able to move the pics to a new folder titled ".nomedia"
Shouldn't scan that folder.

actually, I think all you need to do is create a file called .nomedia and place it into the folders you don't want the media scanner to scan.
Works great to keep the gallery from adding all of the images that Touchdown (my corporate email program) caches on the phone.

Is there a method to include folders rather than exclude -because I have way too many files from wherever that I would have to exclude with that method. Thanks

Bump. What does "bump" mean? Does it mean 'no one is looking at my thread, hey you, will you look at my thread? Either way, hey you... kidding, but please, does anyone know of a way to choose folders for the gallery rather than choose to exclude which as I mentioned would be way to cumbersome? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Put your pics you want private in a desperate folder. Rename the folder to anything with a period in the beginning and voila!

Hiding private media isn't the issue.

If you don't mind a 3rd party solution, get QuickPic. I seriously haven't used my stock gallery in over a year. It has the option to exclude certain folders ( and thus scan the rest of the SD card ), or include folders instead ( only scans the folders you choose ).

You could also make a text file and rename it to .nomedia no name with that file extension and it will not show up, which is what quickpic does for you.

thanks. that's the solution.
edit: actually no, gallery still finds private media and now the folder just renamed with a dot in front has now disappeared.
edit: actually, there is a setting in astro to display such files, BUT then now the gallery app will display contents of private but visible folder so...

recover deleted photos

I deleted photos from my gallery (sprint gnex). Is there a way to recover them?

Nope. The internal storage can't be mounted as UMS so normal "deleted file recovery" tools don't work.
From now on use Google+ instant upload or Dropbox instant upload so you don't have to worry about it anymore. You can have it only upload on WiFi to save your data plan also.

You will have to root but it is absolutely possible:

You can recover deleted photos from android phone gallery, see this solution that helped me before: android photo recovery
It is easy to follow, so try it.

@slyd0997 I used the app DiskDigger and search /system and /userdata partition and i found all my deleted photo

Recovering deleted photos
I have accidentally deleted some photos on my Nexus 7(2013). I have been trying to attach the Nexus to the computer and make it appear as a disk and not a media device in order to scan and retrieve the photos.
I have turn developer mode on and switched usb debugging on. However the computer will not find the correct drivers for my Nexus (win 7).
SO i am stuck! All recovery software need it to appear as a disk otherwise they don't recognize it.
Today i have installed SKIPSOFT ANDROID TOOLKIT but it will not work! (i thought about getting the right drivers i need)
I keep getting the black screen for a second and it closes.
As far as i can tell My Avira doesn't block it.
I wanted to get help but i am not allowed to post questions on the original skipsoft thread.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE??? :crying:

[Q] Anyone Else Missing Folders when Connected as Media Device?

I am having a problem accessing folders/files while my Note 2 is connected to PC as Media Device.
Let me do state/clarify that I have no problem accessing any folder/file from phone when using any file manager app.
It's when I connect my Note 2 to my PC/and or Linux box, that I do not see all the available folders that I know should be there.
Some are completely missing and some are even showing up, BUT are being read as empty - particularly those that are hidden folders (that I purposely named them starting with a period to hide its contents) (yes, I have enabled "show hidden files" on my linux box as well)
This is happening on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
Now I'm not talking about system folders and files. I'm talking about missing folders from sdcard0 and extSdCard!
Here's the kicker though... If I remove my MicroSD card from my phone and insert it to my PC's card reader, all the missing folders/files are there!
WTF???
Is it because when using the cable to my PC the phone is being mounted as Media Device instead of an attached storage as when I insert the microsd card to my PC?
Anyone else having this problem?

Wow no one else is having this issue? It Cant just be me. It did it with the stock ROM and a custom ROM

Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
Gonna have to look into a solution cause this is bullsh!t that I'm going to have to take my microsd card out every time I need to access all my files.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

Ive always had an issue but its Ubuntu related. Windows its a driver issue.
-first try an removing device from device manager. Unplug and reboot. Install them fresh.
-make sure you have switched on to connect as MTP. When your connected, pull it down an see what options are available.

This seems to be a common issue with Samsung devices. I had the exact same issue and it drove me crazy.

[Q] TWRP doesn't allow moving files on Note 2?

I finally made the jump from my OG4G to the Note 2, but am perplexed about something...
On the EVO, while in TWRP I could hit a "button" and my PC would recognize the phone so I could move files back and forth. I can't seem to find that in TWRP 2501 on the Note 2...
Have I lost my digital mind, or is it unavailable on this phone?

Ya we don't have that ability

To be honest, for me and it's not a huge deal simply because I transfer all the files that I know I'm going to flash to the phone beforehand. Yes it would be a nice feature, but not a huge deal.

I can copy and move files in TWRP. I can even install a ROM.
But from a USB thumb or my 1TB drive. I have never tried from my PC.
The copy and move actions are under the bottom left tile. Sorry I do not remember the tile's name. It isn't easy, so I only do it when I screw up.
