I would like to save my pictures on my sd card to an online source automatically. Is there any kind of appear or something that allows me to do that. My pics got wiped from my sd and I would like to prevent that from happening again without having to load them on my external hardrive every night.

I know that google has a couple of services for this, Google + is one of them and Picasa Photo Uploader is another. Google + will automatically upload your photos to your profile, if you set it. Picasa Photo Uploader is an app you can download.
I've used this before:

You gotta have a photobucket account, but it can be set to automatically upload images as they appear on the card. Be careful of data and battery life, though.
I use SweetHome to upload my photos to my PC when it's connected to my home Wifi.

Thanks everyone. I just started using Google+ so far I really like it.

They are automatically saved? Do you select them first or is it upon entering the site?

where are you seeing those pictures automatically saved?
the first thing that comes to my mind .. as i know i've pulled all image files off my phone and came up with a lot of cached images from the browser.
the android browser, like most web browser keeps a cache on the /data partition (and maybe also /sdcard?) in its respective application directory. inside this cache will be images and web sites viewed, just like the cache kept on a desktop/laptop/netbook computer when using chrome/firefox/internet explorer browsers.
hopefully that makes sense. there are apps and scripts out there which can clean out these cache directories to free up space, if needed. i haven't used any of them as i generally end up wiping my /data partition a bit too frequently from developing and testing android stuff!
if you are seeing these images appear in your gallery app, the easiest fix i'm aware of is adding a simple, empty file named .nomedia in the directory. make sure to put the period in the front of that name as its a linux convention to hide the file and the gallery app is hard coded to ignore all images in directories with a .nomedia file.
hope that helps!
Ok, so last night I went to my aunt's 50th b-day party. I took some pix and a couple videos. This morning I go to reveiw them, and I can clearly see them in my gallery. I open a video to watch, and then get a "sorry video cannot be played" message about 3 seconds into the video, then it's closes the video. I'm returned to my gallery where I can still see the pix and video, the the screen flashes and now I can't see any of the pix or videos .....Is there anyway or any program I can use to recover these lost treasures of mine that my phone thought I wouldn't want. I have connected both the phone and my card to my PC and cannot find the files anywhere
Are u rooted? Are you on a custom Rom

Yes I am rooted and running the blazer ROM 1.3

Have you tried transferring the files to pc or uploading to dropbox?
There have been times where i download or capture a small video and it doesn't show up in gallery until i reboot the device.
this isn't completely crazy, a friend has a Droid X and it did this exact thing to her with video and pictures... stock never rooted or anything internal memory, I've never had any issues at all with it on any of the three android devices I've had though.
I always hv the dropbox mobile upload on. With 50gb of cloud storage you should take advantage of it

I was reviewing them to see which ones I wanted to save. And while in my gallery view, the blinked and I guess reloaded itself, and all of the pix and videos from the night before, were gone. I connected the phone to my pc, and nothing....I took my sd card out and put it in my pc, and still, nothing..... It's as if they never existed

Might wanna try a file recovery program on the sd card to see if you can get them back.
Sure surprised me. The update left everything else intact. The Gallery app doesn't even have my Picasa photos either. I can choose Picasa and it shows the folders, but every album has no content in it.
Update: after a refresh a couple of times the gallery app finally agreed I had albums and photos in Picasa. Still no sign of any photo that was previously on my phone. Even a photo I took in the morning right before I updated the phone has disappeared.
Anyone else notice this?
Are you sure they are missing from the sd card? An OTA update never touches the sd card.
Use a root explorer and see if your photo's are still on your sd card, if you can see them then either your sd card needs to be formated or it could be bad.

Thanks. Found the photos using a file explorer. Can use the file explorer to open the photos using the Gallery app. Apparently they hard coded a change in the Gallery app to where it looks for photos though, because I can see an photo I've take since the update, but there appears to be no way to tell the Gallery App to find and display the prior photos right where they were originally stored on my SD card.
Anyone have an "easy" way to fix this?
Comments withdrawn
Once the File Explorer proved the original photos were still on board, I simply plugged the phone into my PC and moved them to where the camera/gallery app are currently saving/finding photos. Took a moment to thin out and sort them as well. Could have done all this with the File Explorer, but much easier on the large screen of my PC.
I first saw this on my wife's S3 and now I have the same thing on my Note 2. Whenever I go into the Gallery app, it is so extremely slow. I thought it was building indexes or something, but my Thunderbolt wasn't this slow. I have searched around and can't find anything.
I do have images on an extSD card, but even before I put the card in the pics I took on camera were slow to come up. I can use other apps like quic pic but I don't think S-pen works with other apps.
Anyone else seen this?
EDIT: It appears the S-Pen works fine in quic pic. I was able to select and copy to clipboard just fine. I would still like to know why Gallery is so slow though.
hmm I'd call mine quite fast. I have 42 local pictures already and it that album and facebook ones instantly and when I click local, the pictures all pop right up instantly. Have you noticed reads/writes from your memory being slow with anything else?

My phone overall is very fast. It is just the gallery. The fact that I saw it on my wife's S3 made me wonder. I even moved her pics off of her extSD card and onto her internal memory. Then I reformatted her card. I also reformatted my card in the phone before putting the pics back on it. Quic Pic works like a champ, so I believe it has to be Gallery.
No issues here with opening gallery, pics taken from phone or photos on memory card. Also my s3 was fast.
Yep, mine too. I have a lot on my card, when i open the gallery it shows a bunch of gray squares that should be the folder names.it takes forever to show thumbnails for some reason. Never had this on my S3
I have 6000+ pictures separated into 50+ albums all stored on my 64gb xdhc and its fast. for an album of more than 600 pics, the gray boxes turn to thumbnails quick enough to keep up with my scrolling.
I'm in the same boat as the OP.... It takes quite a long time to load up my pictures in my gallery. Quite annoying...
use a ultra high speed sd card an it will help with gallery speed. i have a 64gb sandisk that reads 50mb/s...

I have had the same problem since owning the S3 and now the GN2. I have about 6gb of photos on my internal storage and a couple gb on my sd card.
I have been able to figure out that it's something with my home network. Try to turn off Wifi and then open Gallery on all 3 of my Sammy phones the gallery is instantly fast.
PS Someone also told me to disable Tag Buddy and Face Tag as well.
Motorola is similar yo this except that the moto gallery pinch room is choppy. Quick pic fixes. Its something about the ui that makes it drag along on the gallery. Hopefully they address it because my old gs2 didn't really have that issue.
Same issues with gallery sometimes
I've noticed some slowdown on the gallery but mostly when other apps try to access it.
Like if i try to look at the gallery from picsay or something.
I notice the camera folder shows up right away but it hangs on the other folders.
I have it showing all my facebook photos too. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.
And I have noticed its quite hit or miss. Sometimes its instant sometimes it hangs.
It is quite weird when the phone is so fast.
I would love to know what is causing it.

If it's looking for facebook albums, it could be data connection that's affecting the speed.

I haven't found a way. I went into facebook sync and unchecked "sync gallery" and changed the gallery sync interval to never, then went and cleared all data from the gallery but it went through and downloaded them all over again.
Did you try changing the sd speed? I switched from the default 128k to 2048 and my galleries load as fast as I can scroll

I too have this issue. It would be worth trying what LordRalh3 mentions. Dont know if this is going to help. I had several pictures on internal memory until I remembered to install my external 32gb card, it is slow both ways.
I had the same issue, and found that gallery was caching a ton of data. Over 2 gigs the first day! I cleared it, and again the next day it began caching data again. I have resorted to disabling the app, and I am in the process of wiping to see if that helps. I will let you know what happens.
Stock gallery is bull****. Better is quickpic i use it nearly 1 year
Wiping did not help. Gallery still as slow as molasses. I will report back on cached data. How would I go about changing the sd speed?
I just changed the sd speed to 2048. There was no difference. This is really annoying. I turned off syncing with picasa, facebook, google +. Im not sure what else could cause such a slow down.
i'm looking for an app or a process that does two things:
1) auto uploads my photos without reducing the file size. i can see a noticeable difference from the photo's i let my phone auto upload to dropbox vs. the photos i've manually added to dropbox
2) after an event (ex:birthday party) i like to remove my photos from the "camera" roll and put it into an individual folder for that particular event. if #1 above allows me to schedule my sync, i'd like the app to be able to recognize the folders and upload them accordingly that way it's not just a "dump" into dropbox and there's actually some order
any help would be GREATLY appreciated and would save me from OCD rage
I just checked and dropbox does not change the quality at all. It has the exact same size and checksum on my phone and in my dropbox.

I can definitely see a difference on three different devices I tested it on. Tried to download from db and then uploaded the same photo directly from my phone onto a laptop, my PC, and a nexus 7. The photos from my phone were much clearer than those dl'd from db. In my searching for people with similar issues/complaints I found several others with the same complaint
Sorry, messed up.

Are you sure it's not just the placebo effect, because as you can see from the pictures below that for me the file that is automatically uploaded to dropbox is a carbon copy of the one on my phone.
The only reason I can think of as to why it may be changing the quality for you is if your dropbox is low on storage.
