[Q]Google Drive Photos and Gallery App - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I am currently storing all of my photos in a folder named "Photos" in Google Drive. I would like to know if there is a way to bring up those photos in the Gallery app on my Thrive? Also when I upload new photos I would like them to show up in there as well.
It is annoying to view the photos in the google drive app since you can't view all the thumbnails largely all at once and browse quickly.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I'd like to know this as well.

*bump* I'd love to know this

[Q] Sync Picasa albums with multiple accounts

I have my pictures loaded on Google Picasa. I can see the pictures in my Android Gallery app.
Id like to see my pictures also on my wife's gallery app. So far I havent been able to.
Ive tried adding my google account. Tried adding her to My Circles (Goggle++ thing) and having the albums shared to that group.
Anyone know if its possible?
Only way so far is to just give her a link to my pictures, in which she can then use the browser to see them. But sure beats the purpose of having them for offline viewing on her phone. BTW, from what I read, Gallery is going away for 5.0, and offline viewing of online pictures will be removed.

Migrated to a new Phone - How to Show Photos in my Google Drive Folder in Photo App?

Hi Everyone,
I recently migrated from a Nexus 6P to a Note 8. Previously, all my camera photos taken on 6P was synced to Google Drive's Google Photos folder. Now that I migrated to the Note 8, the Photos / Gallery app only shows photos taken on the Note 8. If I wanted to view my old photos, I'd have to go into Google Drive app.
Is there a way to sync Google Drive with Photos or Gallery app?

Either you will have to manually download all photos from Google Drive and then place them in respective folders. Or install a gallery app that allows cloud sync, for eg. QuickPic does that.
bump anyone else?

How do you manage your photos?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to know how you guys organize your photos, and if what I want to achieve is even possible on Android.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to put my photos into different albums so I can find them easily. And I'd like to view these photos in their respective albums in whichever device I'm on (whether Android or on my Mac).
Right now, I use Google Drive to sync to my Google Photos folder on my phone so that I can view the photos on my Mac. However, the photos are scattered everywhere and they're not in an album, so it's nearly impossible to find that photo.
Has anyone been able to achieve this on their Android device? I'd like to continue using Google Drive to sync between my devices, including my photos.

Google photos

Any good options for displaying my google photos on Wear OS? My wife and I share an account and all pictures we take get uploaded to the same google photos account. It'd be nice to view them on the watch. Thanks!

My app NavExplorer has a way to transfer files and view photos on the watch or set them to a watch face background or complication. You would have to download them to your phone or computer before transferring them though. I'd be happy to integrate with Google Photos, though I'm not sure if there is a way to access them directly.
If you just want to view them, I believe there is a browser app for Wear OS out there so you could just open the site.
