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

Is there an app that allows you to select or change the folder/location of the pictures taken at certain moment?
1) Let's say you are at someone's B-day taking pictures but you don't want them to get mixed with the others. It would be nice to set a "B-day" folder so all the pictures go there.
2) Let's say you take a lot of pictures at work and wouldn't want them to mix with your party pictures. You just select a folder for work so all the pictures get redirected there as they are being taken.
3) When I am at work I can have my computer sync and only sync with the "Work" picture folder.
This would be a good feature on the GS3. What do you think?
Agreed. Great idea.

Just an idea...
It may be cumbersome but couldn't you rename the "Camera" folder (with Root Explorer or any other file manager) to whatever event you are attending, and create a new, empty "Camera" folder for your next set of pics? You could repeat this for any other event and your pics would be grouped together.

Awesome... Great idea!
It worked pretty well even if I had to take a couple of extra steps. Now every time I want to separate the photos, I create a blank Camera folder and rename it "whatever" once I have finished taking all the pictures. I am using Solid Explorer.
Thanks, Thanks...
That seems like a good idea but a hassle. I wonder if anyone could make an application.I'm sure many people would want to pay for it if it turns out to be successful.

I was wondering if there was a way i can stop every folder that contains pictures or videos from showing up in my gallery. For example, if i wanted a folder of porn videos i wouldn't want this showing up in my gallery for anyone using the phone to have easy access to. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Ive tried putting the folders on both phone and sd card but nothing seems to keep it out of the gallery. Please help.

LOL @ porn folder !
#1. Make a folder with all content you wish to hide (pics, vids,etc.)
#2. Place all items into folder
#3. make a new file and name it .nomedia, that will stop them from showing up in the gallery and other programs.
#4. Hit thanks !
How did I know this was going to be about porn? LOL

I figured it out. Change name of folder by adding a period b4 and it doesnt show up.

Best question EVER! LOL
Just download "hide it pro" free app, it will hide videos, pix, files, folders, apps and more, saves you from having to edit every single file. Straight forward and easy EASY to use.... whats even better, it is a disguised app too, for your spefic needs.
Hit the thanks button,..... lol

Props for honesty!
Usually, this question gets asked more like, "Uh, I have this friend... he has some... media on his phone he doesn't want people to see... so what do I... I mean, what does he do?"
Just got the M8 and love it as I knew I would. I had the M7
But the galleries for HTC are so different than any other makers. Samsung mainly
Samsung's gallery is straightforward. HTC? Not so much. I never used 100Media, didn't know what it was and my camera/videos/wallpaper folders worked fine
Now I have the Gallery on HTC. I know how to use the basics of it, hide files etc, and I see the Zoe's up top. My question for this gallery is: is there a way to isolate simply the pictures you have taken with a camera, not the videos with it, and not any other pics like my wallpapers. It seems like I get all of them or my vids and camera pics
What is more confusing is the fact that I don't need to use that. I started using Quikpic for the purpose of fixing the date, enabling sorting from date etc. I was told and experienced Android is very inconsistent with that. I love Quik Pik
But with the HTC it is a little confusing
I was told that HTC created the 100Media? ...by the app creator. Yet I could swear that I saw it on previous phones. Nexus, Samsung, etc.
In any case, the Zoe's are supposed to go there. I can answer my own question. They don't appear there because just as another phone that doesn't do Zoe's can't play a Zoe, nor can an app, correct
Help me understand if I changed things to be the way they should be, for this app, and for this phone
I just moved all my camera pics to 100Media I believe it works perfect. New camera pics show there. BUT there are about 5 or 6 files that I delete, could restart the phone and they come back.
Any ideas would be appreciated

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!

I am trying to see all the folders when I plug into the computer. I am only getting a select few, many of the app folders are missing. Looking for whatsapp folder in particular.

That's typical unless you're rooted and using a file manager that supports root. Go to Android, data and you'll see a little bit more.
Edit, if it's a Verizon device you want be able to root.
Okay, so I need the google version of the phone ? I don't believe I rooted the moto x pure I have, does it come that way ?

I'm not sure how the Moto comes. But on the PC you'll never see more than what your see in that screen shot with the pixel. You will be able to see more on your device if rooted and using a file manager like root explorer. What are you trying to see?
I'm trying to see WhatsApp folder and photos app folder. Want to move all my WhatsApp content to new phone and I want to keep my folders for pics. I moved the pics in albums to dcim folder but when I open photos app they are all lumped together

Do you use Google to backup your Moto? You should be able to restore your apps and data from there when setting up a new device.

I do not backup to google. Only thing that is is contacts. New device is more or less setup except for those 2 items.
How would I go about making a folder/album for photos while connected to the computer so that I do not have to do it on the phone.
