So I was using FilmicPro and attempted to move the files out of the app. Files disappeared. Some amazing shots no less. Any way to recovery files without root with an app or Windows program that isn't a total scam?
Maybe you can find the photos backed up online? Do you have online Google Photos backup for photos taken? My Google Photos asks if I want to back up video and pictures from various apps also, like WhatsApp or Facebook. It's not just backing up the DCIM folder.
Also as an Amazon Prime member and Dropbox user, I have photos automatically backed up to those locations also.

I was trying to get rid of Drop Box and other Picasa folder that was randomly created by cleaning the Camera app cache and it started to delete all my pictures one by one in about a minute.
But all my photos are still in DCIM folder and some other picture folders in SDCARD directory.
It's just that my stock gallery app can't find them, so it says I have 0 images...
I went to settings and looked at option like Backup and Restore as well as Account & sync (only has an option for Google Photos but this doesn't seem to be it). I disabled Backup and Restore by default.. I enabled them for a day but didn't do anything.
Is there a way to back up the pictures? Things like bookmark, contacts, pictures automatically backed up whenever I flashed new ROM or update them, but it seems like my phone deleted all of them this time...
Please help me out!
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

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?
Hi all, I'm trying to delete my photos on my device which already backed up in Google Photos. When I open the app on my phone and tap free up space it keeps saying no items to remove. I can see all the photos in Google photos but I can't delete the device copy from my phone.
Any suggestions? cheers
I figured out that when you open the app from your phone you need to go to device folders tab and delete all the photos from there, that soved the issue.
Mods please close the thread.
Cheers
I enabled Google backup for my pics .. But in the Google photos app, the backed up pictures are not backed up as folders .. so all my Snapseed edited photos are mixed up with screenshots and normal ones and I can't find them... Is there any way for them to be sorted by as they were in the folders in the phone?
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 !
