Every time I take photos in portrait mode it creates a folder just for the two pictures. Every time. Anyone notice it

Yes. I found your thread because I'm looking to find a way to turn this off. It makes it tedious to view the photos from a third-party app or to copy the photos to your desktop.

Why don't you use a Gallery like Google Photos or QuickPic ?
So you can select the pictures that you want and then click on share.

Quick Pic shows me the folders. And, this doesn't help at all when transferring to the desktop. Also, when you delete a photo, the empty folder remains. It was not at all well thought out or tested with regular people.

If I remember well, you could select to display only the pictures in Quickpic, I'm not sure though. I will check this once back home.

This is part of Google messages. When you select to add a photo and click the icon to go into your folders to look. You can't use photos on Google messages to select what you want
I created a post on the Pixel Forum about this exact issue. I am also using Quickpic to move the portrait folders into the default camera gallery.
Camera: Portrait Mode creates individual folders for every Portrait Mode photo taken
Yes I hate this, what a stupid way to organize portrait mode pics.
They need to fix this, its a deal breaker for me... not worth having it this way just creates a big mess

This bugged me so I tried numerous gallery apps. Only Google photos handles portrait shots properly.

It's not a problem with Google Messages, it's a problem with how you're using the software.
When you're getting to the Document Chooser, you're selecting "Images" which brings up a folder view. Instead of doing that, press "Photos" from further down on the left and you'll see a proper gallery view.
While it's annoying to use in QuickPic, if anything the new organization structure forced me to realize that the way I was accessing images in the software was actually inefficient all along and I just never realized it, and I've started using Photos for all of my snapped photos and QuickPic for all the rest (with the Camera folder hidden).
Anybody got solution ?
I just use Tasker shell commands to move files around to where I want them to be.
In this case, I have it set to move the two images into a folder of my choosing, and then delete the now empty folders. Gotta love Tasker lol
Good idea!

New to android, why don't apps like Facebook and twitter have direct save for pictures the way iOS does?
Because Google plus uploads video and pictures once taken.
I think he means why cant we save images from Facebook to the device.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
You can't save directly to the device however if you open the picture in facebook app there are these three little dots for options (I think you know what I mean). Then go to Share and then you can share the picture with picasa, g+ or google drive. Depending on your setup / sync routine saving to picasa / google drive should be almost the same as saving to to your device directly. Only difference is that the picture is saved in your drive folder instead of Pictures or downloads or whereever you intended to store the downloaded files. Hope this helps!
Will try that on Fb. Anyway to do on Twitter? I know about screenshots but just seems iOS made doing this easier
I dont use twitter myself but if there is a possibilty to display images fullscreen it should work the exact same way

Is that a specific app?
I have searched til I was blue in the face.
Long and short of it is that I would like 1 app to view photo's/ pics from my device, drop box, box and facebook, without having to actually put them on my phone/tablet.
The nearest one I found was woven but it didn't sync all the photos in my drop box account.
So does anyone know of such an app?
Cheers for any help
If Quickpic doesn't work try a file explorer like Solid Explorer or even Sandisks own file explorer.
Yeah I have the same problem, it's the one feature I miss from sense.. Tried searching for an app as well but found nothing

Thanks for the recommendations but......
Quick pic doesn't work, solid explorer is a but sluggish and only shows drop box, sandisk is the closest to what I want but the previews are too small and you can't see what is in the picture. :crying:
Any other recommendations?

I added my dropbox account, but none of my pictures from other folders come up?
Only the ones in camera upload come up, is there a way to view photos from other folders as well?
I think its because my Pictures folder is deleted or not visible so I cant put pictures into that folder. Anyone know how to recover it?
SOLVED: I JUST ADDED ALL THE PICTURE FOLDERS INTO THE CAMERA UPLOADS FOLDER AND EVERYTHING WORKS!

Yes was gonna say they need to either be in the camera upload or photo folder for your pictures to be detected.
Is there an app like this for Box?
If there is it would be really helpful as I have a lot of storage available in Box.

Thank you for the suggestion. We will consider adding Box.

The stock gallery app displays Picasa albums if you are willing to make the switch. Picasa has a desktop program that syncs images, although the interface leaves something to be desired.

Of course the phone is rooted and I deleted a bunch of nonsense, but I don't have an option to edit photos in the stock gallery app.
I had pixlr express installed and when I touch the edit icon, it launches that app. If an editing app is not installed, I don't get any edit icon.
Anybody know what I'm missing? Perhaps what it was that was deleted, maybe; the apk responsible for editing photos?
Please and thank you.

My friend you have deleted Google+(Or Photos app) that provided you the default editing feature. Reinstall/enable/defrost it and you will again have the stock pic editor back!

Really? Google+? I kept the stock gallery and camera. But google+ is responsible for stock photo editing? Man, Android is weird these days, I'll tell ya. Interesting, I'll look through the folder of deleted apk's and hopefully something looks like what I need. If that's the case however, I'll live without g+ or that silly picasa (or whatever) application.
Thanks!

It's definitely Google+ that gives you the editing option from within the stock gallery. I simply downloaded it from the Play Store and the editing options returned. I them hid G+ from my app drawer since I don't actually use the app.

See, I have the same issue, but google photos takes over the stock editor which was way better than google photos... Then when u uninstall google photos, it takes away the stock lg editor. I cant agree with the above answers, because i use and sell this phone to hundreds of people, several have had the same issue. I dont want google photos editor, just the awesome lg one...

Same account but they don't download.. how can i start that manually?
First, did you upload the pics from your previous device? Go into photos and in the upper left hand corner are three horizontal bars. Click on that, then go to settings and make sure back up & sync is on.

Yes if full of photos.. yes sync is up, i see photos but they aren't stored on my device as when i click on my device folders those are empty
Sync only uploads them to photos. it does not DL any. You can download them only one at a time with the Android app by viewing a photo and than tapping the three dots. Otherwise view them from the cloud. On a PC you can create a downloadable zip of whatever ones you want and then copy those to your phone. But they may end up as dups on your phone as it may get confused with the one on your SD card and the one on photos since it didn't originally upload the exact on on the SD card. Complete PITA.

Yeah, it would be a nice option especially if you could mark certain photos in bulk to come down over Wi-Fi. But it is contrary to Google's movement to all cloud based content and devices with non-expandable storage. That said they let you pin music from Google play music so why not the same for photo albums.
Yeah it kind of defeats the purpose of Google Photos cloud storage if you go for trying to download a whole bunch of them to your device. I've restored my 5X once just to start off fresh and it actually felt refreshing not to worry about my locally store pics getting cleared.
I do agree that pinning cloud albums would be nice to do for offline viewing just like Google Play Music.

Hello guys!
Im kinda new into Pixel 2 XL, Great phone and i'm in love with it! However just to make this fast my question is:
Is there a way to see all pictures into one folder, Which I mean all saved picture such as Snapchat, Instagram, Screenshots, Camera, Facebook pictures into one folder such as Samsung has it and iPhone aswell? Somehow I can't find that option and maybe someone knows?

Your definitely not the first one to ask that question. The short answer is unfortunately, no. I don't know why, and can't give a good reason, it's just the way the P2XL is. Not that it bothers me, but I know what you mean. I use an app called QuickPic. I can make my own folders to manually separate, move, and organize my pics. Wish I had a better answer, but I don't.

After you save them you can select them in the folder that they got saved to and move them to a different folder. I havent figured out how to get them all saved to just 1 folder yet though.

Yep, that's exactly what I do. You just have to manually move them is all.
I use Tasker to move all my media into the folders I want, but if you don't use it, you will have to spend a couple bucks and be willing to go through a bit of a learning curve
