I would like all of the existing Photos, videos, etc in my Google Photos (or Drive) to sync to the Samsung Gallery app on this new S9+. I've done searches and I can't seem to find a clear cut answer as to how to accomplish this. For now I'm using Photos as the default photo/video gallery app. Please just bear with me, I've been using Google Nexus products for so long that I've become used to the stock Android experience and almost strictly using native Google apps for everything. Thanks in advance.

My auto backup is turned on for Google Photos. Any pictures I take on my phone automatically get uploaded to my Google Photos online. If I go through my Gallery app (not my Photos app) and delete pics, will they also be deleted from my Google Photos online next time I sync?

Funny how no one has addressed this yet. People are fooled by the numerous videos on Youtube on how to remove the photos. But all those videos show the exact same instructions which only remove the photos from syncing to that device. It does not delete them. Once you buy a new phone, those photos will show up again.
I would like to know where they are coming from..
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.
Guys, unfortunately I've been away from the Android seen for a fair while so have lost touch with new apps etc.
I'm wondering if there are any new Android apps or methods to enable synching an Android phone to Apple's Photos app?
I was using something when I had my nexus 5 but I got hundreds of thumbnail duplications of some photos (no idea why). I therefore moved to an iPhone. I hate the iPhone and want to move back. But syncing photos to Photos is a must.
Any suggestions please?
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?

Hi
Having recently changed from an iPhone to an S9+ I've now also changed from an iPad to a Galaxy Tab S3. All was easy with switching to the S9, but less so with the Tab S3.
With the S9, I can view all of my photos stored on Google Photos in the Samsung Gallery App. For some reason, I can't do the same with the Tab S3 - it only shows me pictures I have either taken with the camera or downloaded, but none of my Google pics. I am struggling to understand why the two Samsung devices are so different.
I also have a missing marketplace icon on Facebook, whereas on the S9 it's present and working!
Can anyone help on either of these two queries?
Thanks!
I don't have this problem. I can see all my photos from photo.google.com just like I can from my phone on my Tab S3. Are you sure you logged in with the correct google account? It should work automagically.
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I'm logged in with my correct Google account details. I can see my Google photos in the Google Photos app but none of them appear in the Samsung Gallery app for some reason. It's really strange¡
Okay so I've worked it out (after resetting the device for no reason it turns out!).
My S9 is displaying loads of photos in the Gallery App as they were copied over from my old iPhone, not because Google Photos is sharing with the Gallery App.
If there is any way that I can see the photos saved in Google Photos with the Gallery App that would be great, but it doesn't seem as though this is possible.
I still have the same problem with Facebook.
Thanks
