Looking for a two-way WiFi sync (Android/Mac) for the gallery

The USB connection on my Mac works fine with the little tool, but I would rather have some kind of wireless magic.
This is what I wish for: I'm coming home, my Nexus says "hello" to my WLAN and checks every X minutes if my Mac is active. If yes, start the two-way sync for the whole gallery – that means camera photos, screenshots, WhatsApp images and so on are transferred to my computer and new images are moved over to the phone.
If WiFi is disabled, the phone is in a foreign WLAN or my Mac is not reachable, the Android app should sleep.
There are a few apps, but I haven't seen the perfect solution. Take for example …
Dropsync: Multiple folder sync in the pro version. This seems very nice for Dropbox sync and should work with some aliases on the Mac to my Dropbox folder, but I have the extra step with the cloud in between.
doubleTwist AirSync: Looks nice, but I have no clue if it can be configured to run in the background (Android and Mac).
There are a few more apps with a PC background service which are unsuitable for me.
Is there a "nice and easy" app?

I use Google + and Picasa. The new Picasa desktop client syncs Google + galleries.
I have my phone set up to sync pics to G+, and my Mac syncs the G+ pics to the desktop client.

I would have opted for Picasa & Google+, but I can't get it to sync all folders on Android and the desktop app is a horrible mess with graphic problems on my Mac (Snow Leopard). :/ Or am I just too stupid?

So … this seems to be an unsolvable Problem.

I have all of my Picasa photos synced with Google+ - so everything I add to Google+ (Instant Upload to a PRIVATE gallery) gets synced over to Picasaweb. If I ever need my photos, I just grab them from Picasaweb. I don't keep photos saved offline because I have 20gb of storage on Google's servers (only $5/year - so cheap). Plenty of storage for docs, photos, etc.

[Q] How to sync "Instant Upload" photos into computer?

Hi,
I wonder if there is a possibility to sync photos in my mobile phone and tablet not only to cloud at picasa/google+ but also to my hard drive in my computer. I would like to use google Instant Upload for this instead of some 3rd party apps and clouds. Because e.g. Dropbox syncs the photos from my phone and tablet pretty well but does not sync photos on mobile devicec. I would like to view photos from my mobile phone on my tablet too. And I want them to be synced automatically. Is there a way to do this? I wanted to try desktop Picasa for syncing but I cannot sync Instant Uploads "album".
Any ideas or tips for your way doing this? Thank you!!!

[Q] Cannot delete Picasa albums

So all of a sudden today my LOG decided to start syncing with Picasa which i was not even aware i had an account for. It only synced a few photos but it will not allow me to delete or hide the albums under the gallery settings. I have already gone under the sync options and my goggle account and turned off the ability for it to sync with Picasa but even after disabling that option and re-syncing the entire account the pictures still will not go away. Can anyone tell me how to remove these? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

This is most likely because you have a Google+ account. If you don't remember uploading any pictures to it, check if instant upload is enabled on your phone. As for deleting the pictures, you'd have to either log in to your Google+/Picasa account online and then delete them form there or download the application and delete them from there. Very inconvenient for sure but that's the way to do it!

Google drive in gallery?

Hi, is there a way to get my Google drive account showing in galleries? When I select cloud it only shows box or Dropbox, even though I've downloaded the drive app.
Thanks

Question Sync wirelessly photos

I just bought the Samsung S22 Ultra thinking I would be able to sync my photos wirelessly on the fly. We have Link to windows and Dex but I don't think it's possible to sync photos with any app on the fly. I have a 4 terabyte hard drive and I don't understand why synchronization can't be done automatically? If it were possible, then I would just go into Photoshop and start processing images that would always be in the same folder on the PC and I wouldn't need to manually do any copying.

What are you trying to sync with?
You can sync your photos using Onedrive via the Gallery app or sync with Google using Google Photos.
If you use Lightroom and Adobe CC you have to add them to an Adobe CC gallery.

I wanted to have photos that I took with my mobile phone synced with my PC so I have the same photos all time in my PC.
I'm an engineer and I take about 10 photos per day and I don't understand why I can't have those photos automatically synced on my PC when I get connected over WiFi in my office. Why would I manually copy these photos. It's an unnecessarily action.
Why would I use Onedrive when I have unlimited space on my hard drive in my PC? Maybe I have very sensitive photos that I don't want to sync with Onedrive?
It's so simple thing that it can't be achieved by phone that cost 1,300 euro.
If there is a such app I would pay that even 100 euro. It would be a stupid app that everybody must have.

The phone won't automatically sync with a PC (at least not with non-Samsung PCs). You will need to sync via a cloud service like OneDrive, Google Photos, Dropbox, Etc. You then access them via your PC.
If you have a Samsung Galaxy Book laptop, then you can send photos wirelessly, but I don't think it's automatic.
I use OneDrive and configured the Gallery app to sync with it. When I take a photo Gallery uploads it to OneDrive, which I then can open it on any of my devices that I have; which includes a Dell Inspiron desktop, Surface Pro 6, Surface Laptop 1, and a Galaxy Tab S7.
Microsoft Phonelink will also allow you to access your photos directly from your PC, but you have to configure Link to Windows to pair with your PC.
You can configure Gallery to sync any folder that contains images, including RAW dng images.

There is an app called foldersync pro. I've been using this app for more than 4-5years. It works perfectly for your needs. You can setup scheduled syncs, immediate sync, two-way or one-way sync etc.. It's a very stable and reliable app. It'll do a CIFS based transfer. So as long as you setup a network share folder on your PC, you're all set.
I have a sync setup to clean up the directories of interest on my phone and upload it to my local server and then I access the content from plex!

Cloud sync is not so good. Because large files are compressed and quality is lost. Especially for videos. Or you must pay extra for more cloud space. The best way is direcr wi fi comunicatiom between PC and phone. Windows phone app is good enough and stable.

Not true. I sync using OneDrive and there is no compression. Neither does Google Photos nor Lightroom.
