Dropbox integrated with gallery without copying files - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
Ive been searching around to find either a gallery or an app that would show me my dropbox videos and pics in the gallery without copying them tovthe device.
I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9300 and a dropbox account. But would like to see my dropbox photos in the gallery.
Ive used foldersync from the market but that just copys the files across so not what im looking for.
Ive heard that the note 2 has this function and also htc sense.
Another thing to note is that the main reason i am reasearching this is because i am making the move to the nexus 4 so would have to work with that.
Cheers

I'd like to know about the chances of getting this done, as well.

Help with gallery

Hey guys, sorry but i'm a new Android user, and I seem to be having problems with my gallery.
There seem to be hundreds of images of buttons, Facebook buttons etc appearing in gallery, making out very difficult to navigate through, to find an image.
Does anyone have similar problem? And how do you resolve it?
I'm running on unrooted Droid 2.3.5, with the recent ota update. Images ate stopped on media card.

Sorry but still getting used to Swype. I meant images are stored in media card.

The built-in Gallery App that comes with the phone is pretty basic. Because of the issue you mentioned, I switched to QuickPic.
You can tell it to only show certain directories, and it has several other features that the built-in Gallery is missing. Check it out - it's free and downloaded over 1 million times.
there has got to be something that can fix the default gallery app. I like it, but I hate that the gallery is so damn CLUTTERED. I cant even find a picture i took last week because its showing ALL of my damn cached images...
NOT cool, moto.
im actually using the old gallery app off my moto defy. much better with out the clutter
Thanks for the tip. Will download it asap.

Welcome to the Motorola picture gallery app. Same thing happened on my old Droid X. About 50 icons from my Pharmacist Letter app appear in my gallery.
You can organize pics into albums that you name. It's kind of a workaround. But yes, the gallery app will show any pic stored on the internal phone as well as micro sd card.

[UPDATED] Skydrive and Dropbox

SEE POST 4 FOR MY SMALL RESERARCH AND PROBLEMS SOLVED.
I've been trying to find out where this is located on this phone. When I used sense 4 Rom on my rezound it was right there in the accounts and sync. I know it was supposed to be included with sense 4 and all the reviews I see show it on there. Did we get hosed or am I missing something?

I have never seen these included in a stock rom. They are both downloadable from the market though.
While it's not in my list of apps, if you go to the list of apps under Settings -> Apps, there is a listing for 'Dropbox for HTC Sense' and 'HtcDropbox_GLRPlugin'. Can't figure out how to access it. More than likely, it adds on to the Dropbox experience when you download the Dropbox app. I haven't tried it since I don't use Dropbox or any other cloud service.
I haven't downloaded dropbox yet so I will try that.

That is HTC's sense page. I guess only the One X got it....of course. The rezound ICS I believe was part One X so maybe that explains it. Seems a few of the reviews I've seen for this phone showed it as an option, but maybe they just assumed since it was shown as a part of sense. That was an exciting aspect for me because I use it a lot, but it isn't crucial.
As far as using a 3rd party app. I have some photos on there that I would rather not risk a sneaky developer getting his hands on ;c)
EDIT: At the very bottom it says check with provider so see if they offer skydrive on your device. I'm sure that Verizon had their grubby hands in it.
2ND EDIT: Okay, I downloaded dropbox and now it syncs in my albums and shows under accounts and sync. Now if I could only get skydrive working.
FINAL EDIT: I've had no luck on the skydrive integration. It was very nice to have but it also seems that it was removed from the at&t version One X. On a better note I have descovered that ES File Explorer syncs very nice with skydrive and other cloud services.

Thanks for the tip on ES with Skydrive! Been using that ridiculous browser MS recommends. This is soooo much better!

I tried the browser app once before but hated it. I stumbled across the ES thing in another forum.

I want to sync photos to specific folders on my iMac

Hey guys,
Can anyone recommend a good app to sync my photo's to specific folders on my iMac? Right now I am using Dropbox and I am manually dragging the photos into the folders. I also use Picasa so I can view the folders that are on my Mac on my phone but I need to have a good data connection and they load slowly.
Ideally I would love to be able to organize the photo's on my phone......for example move a photo from "Camera Shots" to a folder I created...then manually sync over WiFi when I get home at the end of the day and have the folders on my phone and Mac be identical once and for all.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
AirSync by double twist? Anyone have experience with this?
Air sync is awesome! I haven't used it for pics but for music is works great. Definitely worth the buy

Thanks! That good to know because I just started using iSyncr to sync with my iTunes. This would kill two birds with one stone.
Do you know if I can choose to have it sync photo's to specific folders that already exist on my Mac?

Not sure about specific folders. Drop sync pro is another option for specific folders. Not sure if they got a Mac client tho, if they do that's what you need

Zoe and DropBox Compatibility

So I love this phone but just hooked up my dropbox to it. And I noticed whenever I take a Zoe, it uploads like 20 pictures to my DropBox account! Anyone know a way around this? I'm assuming it's a problem with the way Zoes are stored on the One
Yup. Turn off auto-sync of your photos from dropbox or the auto upload in the camera settings should do it.
Kind of sucks though... Won't be able to back up my pictures now

Wow. That is an issue. Just had to delete a ton of photos from dropbox because of that. Probably never would've noticed if I hadn't seen thus post.

Combining Gallery folders

Hi everyone. I have a question that hopefully you can help me with. With my S3 and Note 2 i was able to combine gallery folders with the same name to organize my gallery and make it less cluttered. I can't seem to do that with the S4. Am i missing something or has this feature been removed? Thanks in advance

Use a file manager.
Never mind figured it out. Just in case anyone wants to know: go into the gallery and into an album then check the pic or pics you want then long press them and drag them into the album you want.
