Photo upload software/apps

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone knew of a good app or method for instant backup of your photos/videos without having to manually copy and paste while connected to PC.
I'm currently using Google+ and it's instant upload feature to back everything up but would like something different since some of the pics I don't want to share with the world/google.
I'm fine with paid apps as long as it gets the job done, but free apps are always better.

default setting for google+ instant upload is private. so you're not sharing to the world, but only to both google and you.
if you don't mind to spend some money, "dropsnap" app is quite good for instant upload to dropbox (free 2gb cloud storage, can pay if want more)

Dropsync with Dropbox works great for me. As soon as I connect to wifi all the photos on my phone are uploaded to my private photos folder in Dropbox.

sharing photos

Not specifically a note 2 question, but maybe someone can help me out. I've been trying to share pictures taken between my wife and I on our phones. I have note 2 now and she has galaxy s3. I've been using google drive with an uploader program and shared a folder on each drive so when I take a picture, it uploads to my drive and that folder is shared with my wife and vice versa. that works but its clunky as the drive app kind of sucks for displaying photos and drive videos play like crap on the phone.
I've done the same thing with dropbox and thats better as at least the app has a photo section but that apparently only works with photos taken on my phone, so photos from the folder that my wife shared with me don't show in the photo section.
google + uploads photos but of course those get resized which i'm not crazy about, but at least those will display in the gallery. What I finally did last night is to add my wifes email to my phone and sync to picassa. Now I can see the photos she takes in the gallery, but that is a rediculously unsecure way to share photos. I guess not bad if its your wife, but still giving anyone access to your email isn't great.
Plus while it works on the gallery now, the gallery interface leaves a lot to be desired, I now have like 20 albums sitting there with no way to say Gallery, just show me the few I want to see.
And I still have to use dropbox or drive to upload fullsize photos as I don't want all my photos resized.

[Q] Transfer Hard Copy to Note 10.1 2014

I recently purchased a galaxy note 10.1/2014. My goal is to transfer my lecture notes, currently in a big binder, to the tablet. The notes are hard copy text with script annotations on many of the pages. I assume that I either need to take pictures of each page, and convert them into pdf files, or scan them into pdf files. What is the best way to do all this and organize the notes into folders for each lecture – HandyCam, CamScanner, S-Notes, Evernote, Lecture Notes, etc? Beyond this, I would like to add images and videos, if possible. Can PDF files be inserted into any of these apps, which would then allow further stylus annotations?

I would use evernote and scan them in. You can scan via a pc to make it easier. Then you can further annotate with the plethora of pdf editors

gdrive
Good question. I'm contemplating converting a bulging filing cabinet into an electronic one on Google drive.
what I have found so far hope this is of use to you. I'd love to hear from other experiences too.
I have camscanner paid version. This is really good, IMHO for improving and unskewing photos taken by the tablet. You can then upload to gdrive and in theory they should be ocr ' ed by gdrive. Trouble is gdrive doesn't seem to ocr images in pics embedded in pdfs, which is what camscanner uploads them as.
but gdrive does ocr jpg's fine. Camscanner also has an ocr function but frustratingly, this is only used for docs stored locally, and not added to the pdfs it Uploads!
So I think that this is a two stage process. Scan in camscanner, then using gdrive app upload the processed jpgs from the camscanner directory on the sdcard.

[Q] Does anyone know how motion shots work/are stored?

I took a bunch of photos this morning for work.
Here is a screencap of the DCIM->Camera directory on my Pixel 2 XL. The thumbnails folder in this location is empty, and the .inflight folder (which I've never seen on an android device before) has a .nomedia placeholder file in it.

Some of these are normal "IMG" shot, and some of these are obviously "MVIMG" shots which I believe are supposed to be the motion type. As you'll notice, the size of some of these images are ridiculous (upwards of 9 megs in some cases).
Also strange, I have three different video files (.mp4) that are reporting 0 byte sizes. Since I did not record any video this morning, I assume these have to be related to the motion photo feature of the phone but I'm not clear on how any of this works. If I was to pull these off my phone for a storage, how I do I tell which part is "motion" and which part is just images? Will the motion part be kept if I move the mp4s too, or do I lose that feature if I don't back up the empty mp4 files? I honestly don't like the idea of backing up 9 megabyte photos so I may just turn this functionality off in the future.
tl;dr: How does this work and how can I pull it off the phone and keep the functionality?

Does anyone know how to keep the functionality of these files and view the motion on a windows 10 PC stored locally.
I can see them if I upload to google photos and view in chrome. But I want to just store locally on NAS and not use internet.

All my photos won't show up in telegram or messenger gallery.

So I am on the Android 10 beta program and ever since I installed it I have been having issues accessing my pictures in my apps. In Telegram I have to do a long work around with having to manually go to my pictures folder. In Messenger most of my pictures just aren't showing up at all. Is there some way I can link the folders so they are automatically detected by apps or something?
