[Q] Video File Directory? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I believe i shot a video before i changed the setting on the camera to save to the external card.
I went through the whole system. (emulated/DCIM) and (extCard/DCIM) and even looked it up on ES file exploerer, but could not find it.
I am rooted.
Anyone know where the video file might be?
Thanks

Mine saved to extsdcard/dcim/camera. If not there I would open gallery long press the video to checkmark it hit settings and then details and itll tell you where its saved
Edit
When saving internally it saved mine to storage/emulated/0/dcim/camera

Camera Zoom FX problem

Got this today and love it but the pics don't show up in the Gallery until I rename them and remove the 'cameraZOOM' prefix part of the file name. Anyone else have this?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
No. I installed the app today, and I am able to see the pics just fine in the gallery.
Judging from the lack of response, I'd say it looks like I'm the only one who has this.
I've been playing with more since my original post and what's really weird is that:
1) Pictures I take using the RAZR's stock camera app (not using Camera Zoom FX) show up right away in Gallery - and they are all in the same external SD folder.
2) After I powered off my phone, then turned it back on, the pictures I took using Camera Zoom (but not renaming the files) show up in Gallery. Although any new ones don't until I turn it off and on again.
This is strange. I installed QuickPic and it sees the pics right away, no matter which program I used to take them.
When you installed it, did you use Camera Zoom FX folder or the phone camera folder?
I installed to my external SD card with the path /sdcard-ext/dcim/Camera
For some reason, Gallery won't see them until I reboot. QuickPic sees them right away.

File explorer on I9300

I am having this problem, whereby I downloaded a photo from a MMS sent to me, and it was stored in my Download folder in my Internal Storage. I used ES File Explorer and move the file (not copy) to my external SD card photo album, however the photo will not appear in my gallery under the same album. When I actually opened up my SD card using my computer, I actually found that the photo which I moved isn't in the album which I moved it to, and neither is it in the Download folder in my internal storage. Anyone able to help me on this?
I am using CM9 Stable, on Siyah kernel 1.5.2.

Kindly provide a more constructive answer. You know MMS isn't free and yes I can still see the file in exactly the same folder that I moved it to on my ES File Explorer, but just not in my gallery as well as PC.

That probably was the most constructive answer as everything else is guesswork and involves you searching the entire phone for the MMS in the hope that its not deleted .
Or carrying out the same task again as a test to see where the file goes to .

How about, read what I wrote in my question. I said, I saved the mms attachment and it is AUTOMATICALLY saved in Download folder in Internal Storage. How the heck will the MMS be deleted? I never mention anything about the MMS being deleted. I said, I moved the picture that I downloaded from the MMS from the Download folder in Internal Storage to my SD card, which is where I stored all my pictures. However the picture is nowhere to be found in my Gallery or when I searched for the picture in the folder in my SD card, however I can still see it in the same folder in the SD card when I go to my File Explorer. I can always re-download the photo from the MMS again because MMS isn't deleted unless I delete it myself, but I am just asking if anyone here has this issue too when moving files using file explorer on the phone itself. Kindly get your facts right before jumping to any conclusion. If you are not here to help, you can ignore the thread and don't act like a pro when you are not. MMS deleted? When I read that I nearly burst out laughing because MMS is stored in your inbox, and you can choose to download the attached file, it is the downloaded attached file that I am concerned about. To add on, the problem is solved after I reboot my phone but I find it stupid to reboot phone whenever i organise my picture files using file explorer.

Dl. a media scanner from market to avoid reboot.the gallery only scans upon boot.
Try "photo gallery"(fish bowl),it's got the option to reactants and it's darn cool

Hey thanks man. Given you the Thanks that you really deserve.
Lets keep discussion on topic and polite, and avoid senseless arguments with each other.
This should work if the file is deleted.

Did you recently changed your ROM?

My Assumptions:
1. You mistakenly created a .nomedia file in the video folders.
- to confirm this, go to Mxplayer, goto it's settings and enable "show hidden folders" , refresh your list again.
- Download "Quickpic" from market as a reference app. Run it and tell me if the videos are shown in the app
Let me know what happens.
2. Your media scanner process is misbehaving. This is possible but i believe in my assumption.
Solution will follow as soon as you post the rest results as suggested in 1.
Next time, when someone asks you to post you ROM and kernel details, you have to post it no matter what!

thank u so much i was freaking out yes there are nomedia.file in both folders .thank u again how they get there.

[Q] Dropbox camera upload from a different folder?

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.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
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?
Thanks

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

Hi,
I am very interested in these feauture. There is some solution to automatically upload pictures for other location in dropbox?
Many thanks

Gallery force closing

Hey everyone I'm running maximus 5.5 from MJ.
I recently added about 1k pictures to my sd card from my computer.
Now my gallery won't work.
Every time I open it, it says android process has stopped.
I've cleared media, gallery, works, and fixed permissions trying to get it to work.
If I clear my gallery it will work for 1-2 minutes then close.
I can use es explorer and access everything though.
All jpeg files.
It just hit me that they are named could that really matter?
Besides that I'm dumbfounded any advice would be great!
Cliff notes
Added pics now gallery won't work
Clear gallery, it will work momentarily
At a loss of ideas
Can access everything from es explorer fine

What if you download a different gallery from play store to see if it works?

If you believe that the cause is the volume of the photos, try the following...
Turn off all cast sync,
Turn off sharing in the gallery,
Unzip the nomedia file and stick it anywhere on your SD card and internal storage where thumbnails abound, use it only after you read the threads out there on this topic...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575682
Finally, you could check to see if there are dependencies that are needed for the gallery included with your rom. If you are using the stock TouchWiz gallery, I'm unaware of any.
I hope this helps.
Good luck.

Ok so I tried that, apparently I did something wrong or I don't even know.
When I put the nomedia file in, none of my pictures came up.
On the plus side my gallery didn't force close (stock gallery btw).
So I took the nomedia files out and still nothing (gallery still hasnt crashed though yay)
I can go to ES File explorer and look into my SD card and find my pictures. I can see them that way.
I cleared my gallery to see if that was the issue but still nothing.
I took a pic to see if that would do it. I have the pic I took, but all my sd card pics are MIA.
Fixed (for now anyway)
I took the micro sd card out and put it in my computer to transfer the files. (forgot to mention that)
Anyway I decided to unmount and remount the sd card.
now it works.
Thanks!
