I have a lot of pictures at home in my personal computer.
Now that i have the prime, what app is the best to view all of them without transferring all of them to the memory?
I was thinking of an app like tumblr or similiar, where i upload all the pictures to the site and can view them that way
So, you want to leave the photos on your desktop and browse them through your tablet? I'm not sure an app is what you want. Maybe some kind of web server running on your desktop that you can then browse to from the tablet.

thanks for answering, but i was hoping to view my photos away from home
upload to picasa. your stock gallery automatically syncs everything u got on there.
Def agree Picasa Is the way to go.
I also think Picasa is also what you're looking for. Your pictures will just appear in your gallery.
If uploading is to much: install a personal websever on the PC and have it make your photos available, then pick a browser lol.
I use Picasa(web) and the stock Gallery app.

I thought this was pretty cool, read it over on Gizmodo. Its really easy to do.
1. Install Dropbox on your computer and your phone
2. Download APK files from a website like xda
3. Drag and drop APK files into your Dropbox folder
4. Open Dropbox app on phone and navigate to APK files
5. Click on APK file file, file will download and ask to install
6. Install file
Read it on gizmodo as well, tried it for the first time today, wicked easy.
I've been doing on my G1 and now I do it this on my Vibrant. I love Dropbox.
I use Belvedere to automatically move anything with the .APK extension to my dropbox/Android/APK folder. Couldn't be easier.
Can we move Avatar to Dropbox (below 2GB) and delete it off the card? I mean, yes.. I know THAT can be done, but I was curious if this broke some patent or anything?
I am BRAND new to Dropbox (not even on the PC yet).
I'm a fan of this:

awesome drop is nice moving a file from your pc to your phone... but it's a little limited in that's the only flow.
What if you want to share a file on your phone? I'd like to upload it to dropbox and share it that way...

Yes you can move it there but if you want to watch it you would have to download it back to the phone every time you want to watch it. Dropbox can't stream the movie if thats what you were trying to do, dropbox is used for online storage.
There's an app called WebSharing that works over Wifi. It runs a web server on the phone which you can access from any computer and allows you to upload/download and move files around on the phone. It's pretty cool, check it out.
Is there a way to create a dropbox folder on the sd or internal memory and keep it synced with dropbox? Currently I have to download the pdf files that I store on my drop each time I want to view them, sometimes im not connected online.

I don't believe there is an offline mode. You can download the files the ln use file manager to copy them to a different folder for later but the initial time you need web.

Yep I use it everyday love it WebSharing bought and paid for no need for dropbox here I'm never really installing apk's anywhere but home. Plus if i'm not at home I just download it to the phone and it handles the rest.
I`ve tried all the photo album apps on the market, and all of them for some reason scan the whole device searching for images. As a result it grabs all CD covers I have stored along with muisc, and shows it in the album. I HATE it. Why do I need CD covers mixed with my album photos?????
Does anyone know a photo album app which can be instructed to search for photos only in a specific folder?
I had the same problem but I don't think there is a way around it. What I ended up doing was using 'picture folder' app for photos and then 'doubletwist' for music and deleting all of the cover images from the music folders as doubletwist can get the cover art from the ID tag of the files.
Only really helpful if your OCD like me and make sure all your musics ID tags are correct
Picture Folder has a feature of hiding folder
Picture Folder has a feature of hiding folder .
Hide your music folder, and recursively hides all subfolders under it.
So won't see any album arts.
Just a work around
I have finally found a program which works on a folder basis and on which one can set the home folder. It is called PiQu. Unfortunately this is a paid application, but since it works exactly as expected, i don`t mind paying 2 euros for it.
i use justpictures which allows you to select folders on your local drive and also syncs with facebook. and it's free!

Again - it scans ALL folders, and shows ALL pictures. There is no way to define which is the pictures folder by default, and stop scanning other folders (except for adding.nomedia file which has to be done manually). Also I prefer to see thumbnails as thumbnails and not as a deck of playing cards on the table.
Use 3d Gallery 2.0. You can find it here on Xda or google.

3d gallery has same problem. It scans all folders on SD.
Just use " Picture Folder" works great!
I really wanted to browse my pics stored on Picasa and I'm pretty fond of the Google Gallery app (I know there are others out there).
So I installed this from Astro and lo and behold it worked on the Nook Color! Enjoy!

After installation, go to your GMAIL application and select Settings > Accounts. Add a new google account, then select your current gmail account (re-add it) or select from the google account associated with Picasa.
Great Tip dascud!

Worked for me too. However, I could not get my picasa albums to sync initially.
I had to go to my GMAIL app and add my (same) account again which gave me the option to sync my picasa albums and everything works fine now.
I'm lost on the Nook Color and photo viewing, not to mention videos.
I have tried just about every app I can think, researched until I'm blue in the face, but no matter what I do, if I drop 80 photos taken by your typical-everyday camera into a directory, and copy this directory to the mounted micro-SD card, this device nearly has a stroke just creating thumbnails.
At this point, the Gallery app mentioned in this thread shows the grid of photos, and about 10 of 80 actually have a thumbnail that was created, the other 70 thumbnails on the grid turned from gray to black while the application struggled to create the thumbnails.
With 32 GB of storage space, there's no way I could manage hundreds (or thousands) of photos. I must be doing something wrong here, so much storage space, no way to use it.
Cool.. with it could also see my uPnP server
works great on my NC, thanks a lot!

I've been having problems with unresized images. The resized ones display fine. I'll do a batch resize to see if that works for my photos.
Any help or new information would be much appreciated. There are a couple of apps out there that can take care of the video, but I just can't locate anything else that can deal with photos.
This is frustrating, as I purchased this device specifically over other devices that don't allow for removable storage, but what good is 32 GB of data if you can't sort it and find stuff properly?
See this thread for a really fantastic photo app.

I wish I could download ALL of my Picasa images to my Nook.. But I have yet to find anything that'll do it. A few apps will let me download individual pictures, but I can't suck down the whole thing.
Picasa Tool Pro, as mentioned, is a nice tool, but as far as I can tell it has a batch uploader but not downloader. Although I'm going to check it out for the upload facility, pictures I take on my Nexus One I'd like to make to Picasa.
Honestly I still haven't figured out a halfway sane method of keeping my N1 and NC in sync.
Anyone using Dropbox? Anyone want to upgrade from their 2GB cap to a 5GB cap while using the newest additions?
All details can be found here.
Checking it out now, I was about to install Dropbox on all the computers at my job for the extra space.
Sugarsync has been nothing but frustration lately. Thanks a bunch!

Never mind need to upload photo/videos to get the space, just uploaded all those roms for nothing. Lol
It seems that if you upload quite a bit of data, then delete it, the new storage cap remains. So Im trying to upload as much as I can to get Dropbox to match it, then remove whatever I dont need and still keep the space.
Some people are reporting the storage isn't getting added yet but the limit is gone.
I myself haven't got anything either and I followed the steps, guess its too much at once for them to handle.
I've just uploaded 2 avi files via the desktop client, I am now at 112% space?????

Seeing as how I got an extra 48GB (totaling 51.62GB) by logging into dropbox on an ICS device, don't really need the extra 5gb, but will do so to remove the file size limit .

51gb!
So...Referral, .Edu, Beta, ICS, what else is there?
Read the thread, folks. It says only automatic photo and video uploads count. So sitting there uploading and deleting roms isn't doing you any good.
How can I see if the upload size limit has been removed?
Why wouldn't they put the "Camera Uploads" folder under the "Photos" folder? You can't do gallery view unless they're in the Photos folder...
Oh well, I prefer using Picasa on my computer to rename and organize my pics before I upload them anywhere.

The 'Photos' (and 'Public') folders are less private than anything outside these folders. Source
From this another Dropbox help page, it says that "The Photos folder automatically creates online galleries. Any image files you move or copy to your Photos folder are automatically included in an online gallery anyone can view from the Dropbox website.". It means that you don't have to create a public view link, it's automatically created. So anyone who gets your leaked photo gallery link can enjoy them and you can't control that.
For folders outside Public and Photos, everything is private and you can selectively makes things public/private at your discretion.
I think it's good that they are not mixing up the privacy settings of Photos and Camera Uploads.

I'm sitting in my desk recording videos then uploading it since I don't have 5gb of pictures/videos.
So glad my work has some nice upload speeds, taking advantage of it as much as I can.

Thanks red for finding this. I found this trick to upload a huge amount of files. In the camera turn the video recording to 1080p. Then press the record button and leave your phone upside down for some time. After 10 minutes the video took up 1 gb.

You can also double your referrals (500 MB each!) with an edu email. And yes, it's retroactive
Anyone else getting a force close if you go into the app, hit "Uploads" at the top, then click "Photos or videos" at the bottom? It still uploads stuff fine so I can get the extra space. I had this FC on stock 2.3.4 and I'm getting it on SHOstock now as well.

http://samsunggalaxys3review.net/tutorial-how-to-get-free-dropbox-space-up-to-5gb/
Hello!
I know Dropbox for Android (and iOS for that matter) will automatically upload pictures you take with the camera. But I want to have it also upload pictures that I save, either from a text message or from a website. Those pictures are saved to the "Downloads" folder, which I don't think Dropbox is watching for pictures. If I move pictures to the "DCIM/Camera" folder, SOMETIMES pictures will upload, but not always.
So is there a way to force Dropbox to auto-upload the pictures I save? I want that to happen so the pictures will be renamed to the date it was taken, which is why simply sharing them to Dropbox won't do.
Thanks!
Bump..also looking for an answer
Don't think so hmm. Maybe try to force a media rescan via one of those apps on the play store?
Alternatively use an app like Dropsync to do one way uploads or 2 way syncing to any folder to Dropbox.

Dropbox does watch the Downloads folder. Actually, it monitors every folder on the USB storage partition of your phone. For example, screenshots I take on my phone get uploaded to my Dropbox as part of the "camera upload" function of the official Dropbox app, even though I don't get those pictures by using the phone's camera nor are they stored in the DCIM folder.
To see this, take a screenshot of any screen on your phone (for my wife's HTC Vivid it's Power + Volume Up, for my SGS2 Skyrocket it's Power + Home). It'll get saved to /storage/Pictures/Screenshots (your exact path name may be different depending on how your phone designates the USB storage partition of your phone - note this is note the SD card, but the accessible storage on your phone when you mount it as a USB drive when plugging it into your computer). You should eventually see that those screenshots are uploaded to the same folder on your Dropbox as all the photos you take with your phone's camera.
If you're not seeing that, I'm not sure what the issue would be. I'd recommend going to system settings > applications > dropbox > force stop > clear cache > clear data > uninstall, then reinstall Dropbox and set up camera upload again, take a few photos with the camera to make sure it works, then retaking some screenshots to make sure that that works as well.
by default, it upload to "Camera Uploads" dropbox, can I change the default folder to other folder in dropbox? sub folder?

No feasible solution
I don't think dropbox watch ALL folders. I noticed pictures for Whatsapp / eye-fi / any other apps which stores pictures in their own folder do not get backed up. Please advise if anyone have solution as to enable users as to which folders they want to upload to dropbox from their Android.
I use these two apps to sync additional folders on my phone to Dropbox's Camera Uploads. It may not be the exact solution you're looking for, but it works for me.
DropSync & CloudPipes
Try pasting photos in camera folder and rename similar to photo taken with camera. That may work
