looking for app backup photos with folder structure - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 !

[Q] Gallery app without folder groupings

Dear all,
I am looking for a gallery app with the option to display all photos on my android without being grouped into folders, so they display all at once.
I have a couple of camera apps which store photos in their own separate folders, and it's becoming a bit of a mess. Of course I could move all photos (and downloaded pictures) into one folder, but I would need to be doing this regularly.
Any ideas?
Cheers
gallery... all photos...
or get quickpic and add all the folders and none of the junk ones.
Thanks, but that's not quite what I meant.
I want the any gallery app which will display ALL of the photos/images on the sd card without having me choose a folder first.

[Q] New google photo

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?

Deleted File Recovery without Root?

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.

Lots of Qs from Ex Apple user!

Hoping you can help
Ideally I want to be able to fix all issues on the phone itself without the need to connect to a laptop.
1. Phone clone worked but didn't transfer my pictures in album just in one big gallery? How can I get back into albums?
2. All photos repeat in both Huawei gallery and Google photos as default? I only need one. Can you just delete the other?
3. Big issue: all my music artwork shows up in my photo gallery so I have thousands of albums covers mixed in with my normal photos. It takes ages searching through my photos. I don't want to see any music artwork in my photo albums just on the music app when I play music. How can I hide this simply? It's for driving me mad! I don't understand the terminology around creating a no media file etc.
4. With Huawei mail how do you restore deleted emails to inbox. Doesn't seem to give the option but the trash button is where the reply button is on iPhone so easy deleted!
5. I deleted the Huawei alarm and weather by accident and they are no where to be seen in the play store. Surely there is an easy way to restore other than factory reset!?
Thanks
First of all. Welcome to the android side! I am not too sure of your first few questions as I never had them before.
As for the alarm and weather app. Have you tried finding them on the hauwei app gallery? If it is not there. Then you may have to do a factory reset. Or if there are any ADB methods you can try
Sorry that I am not of much help.
1: I don't know how Albums are organized in iPhone, but in Google photos they are just labels, all photos are present in the gallery, even if they are labeled in an album (I don't use Huawei gallery, only Google Photos).
2: I don't know exactly what you mean, but Gallery and Google Photos are most probably collecting the photos from one location, if you delete the photos in one app, they are most probable deleted in the other one. I backup all my photos with Google Photos. But if you want to get rid of one of the apps, I haven't but I just use Google Photos.
3: an empty .nomedia file in a specific folder prevents the folder to be scanned by the gallery or Google Photos, there is probable a file like this in Local Storage > Android > Data folder, go see File manager (in settings enable hidden files) and look for a .nomedia file and copy it to the Album Artwork folder.
4: I don't use Huawei mail, just Gmail.
5: I know Weather is nowhere available online (had the same issue), hard reset is probably the only way.

Question Facebook Folder

Hi all!Google photos uploads the facebook picture folder to the cloud because it is inside the folder DCIM..how can i solve?thx
I was looking into that a while ago, and the only solution someone suggested was using tasker to move them automatically. There is no way to change the default save folder. The most infuriating thing is that messenger saves them where they belong, in the pictures folder... so why can't they do the same with their facebook app?
What is Facebook?
Is that like a kindle reader?
Will it work on my TV?
Please help.. I am at loss.
