Hey guys,
I keep all my photos on my NAS mounted to my tablet. The problem I have is that the gallery app for some reason wont see them, yet in astro i can navigate directly to the folder and view them fine.
I tried QUICKPIC from PLAY and added the folder as well but no preview/pictures were seen. What have i missed? Is it some kind of folder permission issue maybe? Or how i am mounting the folder?
What gallery app to you use if you have pictures in Drive or on a NAS?
I am using ES File Explorer from market. It's free and i can show all my pictures from a NAS (excito - Bubba2), an extra PC, FTP, Google Docs (it's a server inside es file explorer). Have you tried it once?

I am running TnT Lite 4.4 (Love it).
I have moved some pictures onto both the internal sdcard and sdcard2. But gallery does not pick them up and display them. It sees my picasa pics, but nothing local.
I do not see any options under Gallery to set a local directory.
Does nayone know how to configure Gallery to look at a local dir for pictures?
I'm seeing the same thing. So far in searches I haven't found an answer.
Additional behavior, if I browse to a picture in the file manager it opens with gallery, but the only controls that work are the zoom in/out. The more and share controls will briefly show and then disappear if you long press.
Me too...
I have been having Gallery problems for some time now, about 2 weeks to be exact. I get no thumbnails, and no gallery found. Nothing I have tried to do will show the pics on my gtablet. However, if I go into an app like RootExplorer, and go to the folder with pics, I can get them to be displayed by apps like Just Pictures, etc. Even Gallery will display the individual pics but very slowly.
So far, have not been able to conquer this problem. I was told to add a folder named .nomedia . But that did not work.
It's aggravating not having Gallery working.
Is there a way to get the gallery to not display all subfolders or another app that can? I have several hundred wedding pictures I moved to my SD card in about 10 subfolders all under one folder called Wedding Pictures. When I open the gallery I can see all the subfolders, I would like to just see the main folder at first. I also tried Quickpic, that isn't displaying properly either.
Is there a way to make a folder on Google Drive appear to be local storage? I realize that I can access files in Google Drive through the Google Drive app (and through ES Explorer). However, I don't know how to make files on Google Drive appear as though they are local, so that any app can use a file stored on GD as though the file was local (without the app "knowing" that the file is really stored on GD.
Is there a way to do this?
I can't get my head around the new google photo.
I have always used quickpic so I have always organized pic locally by folder.
In google photo I can choose which folder to sync but in the app pics are organized by date, no way to organise them by folder.
If I delete a pic from the google photo app, it is also deleted from the synced local folder (I check with solid explorer), but if I delete a pic from the synced local folder (with solid explorer) it is not delete from the google photo app. I understand this pic (the one I deleted from local folder) is still stored only online, so if I am not online (on the plane, for example) can I view this photo? I'd say no, since it is online only.
If it is so, when I open the google photo app, how do I know which pics are also phisically present on which synced local folders?
If instead of deleting the pic from the synced local folder I move them to a non synced local folder, does it mean I will have a copy online and a copy offline not in sync?
Thanks

If you organize by "album", it pretty much puts in in standard view like the gallery where they are grouped by location (DCIM, Download, etc)

You may be able to if it is cached on the device. That one I'm not to sure about that one.

Try testing by viewing a photo and seeing if you can download it. If you can, then it probably isn't on the phone, or at least not in the original backup location
If instead of deleting the pic from the synced local folder I move them to a non synced local folder, does it mean I will have a copy online and a copy offline not in sync?
Good Question! If you get a result from experimentation, please post it. I'm curuios to know.
Thanks

Also, does anyone know how the 'unlimited storage" thing will work with photos already backed up? It still shows my library as taking up 10 GB on drive when they were backed up to G+. They are definitely all 16 MP or less, so do I have to do anything to change this over to the "new" setting? Or will it automatically apply after Google works the kinks out?
Hello everyone.
For a long time I am using quickpic(cmcloud) app. These days, the software was removed from google play store, cause some permissions issue, no I see that it is still visible.
App can auto backup photos, by keeping folder structure. The archive photos can be view in quickpic app also in web portal of cm cloud.
Since last updates, photos are backing up on web page, but not shown in to application. The has support of other clouds (gdrive, dropbox, samba and etc)
but it doesn't work correctly - didn't make auto backups (tried on two different devices)
I don't like google photos, cause I can't exclude folder and all photos are dropped in one global folder, no folder structure, date kept and etc.
Can you suggest some nice, pretty photo viewer, which supports auto backup or better sync photos with folder structure, using gdrive, dropbox, smb, ftp.. ?
Thanks in advance !
