I'm trying to do the following.
I have a eye-fi card in my camera that transfers photos to my phone.
I also have a dropbox with "camera upload" feature turned on.
I have an app that copies photos from eye-fi folder to a DCIM/Camera folder.
What I expected to happen is that dropbox would pick that up and sync but this is not the case, it seems dropbox doesn't monitor "Camer Uploads" folder.
Does any one know if it still monitors some folder to do the camera upload or it is just registered to listen to the camera events and picks up the photo that was just taken?
Does anyone know good app that can mimic the "Camera Uploads" mode of dropbox? The FolderSync cannot do it exactly the way the DrobBox does, I've tested that already.

I believe you need to be connected to the internet to view the photos unless you enable offline viewing in settings of the gallery which will just download them. I don't think you can fit all your photos unfortunately
What does sync do then? ??
Hi, I just have a quick question.
My Note II Gallery app syncs with Photos in my Dropbox (i.e., any picture file in my Dropbox shows up in my Gallery) which is great and all, but when I have the Camera Upload feature activated, it also syncs those photos (which I took using my Note II), making their presence in my Gallery kinda redundant.
Is there any way for the photos in my Camera Upload folder not to sync with my Note II's Gallery? Thanks!
Yes. Go to Settings -> Cloud. You can disable syncing for Images and Videos separately.
Hi. I use google plus's instant upload feature and share pictures sometimes with friends. It seems like my instant upload and the pictures that are shared as posts in google plus show up twice in gallery. Is there any workaround to this?

Do you have an SD card inserted? I found that if I use burst mode on the camera, the photos must save on the local storage but when you use regular modes, they save to the SD card. Thats why I have two folders for camera shots but IDK if you have doubles. I know if photos need to be converted for upload, they make a copy in an appropriate format in a new folder. Just some ideas. Hope it helps.

Where do you see the duplicates? Right next to each other - or at the end of the Gallery folder view down below? If so, do they have the Picasa logo on each folder (the same logo seen on http://picasa.google.com/ )? If so, do this...
Settings > Accounts, Google > then tap on your account [email protected] > scroll to the bottom and uncheck Sync Picasa Web Albums.
Then...
Settings > Application Manager > scroll the tab to ALL > Gallery > Clear Data (don't worry, your photos will stay there. You're just clearing the thumbnails).
The option to display pictures on a world map works only for pictures stored in folder "DCIM\Camera". If you have other pictures, like pictures taken with another phone, or you want to move pictures to sub-folders then the option is no longer available.
Basically to use the feature you need to dump all your pictures into just one big messy folder....
PS: this used to work very well in EMUI4, all pictures could be shown on the map regardless of which folder they were stored in.
Does anybody know if the gallery app in the Oreo update removes this limitation?
have camera and gallery set up to automatically upload to Google Photos when on wi-fi. this works fine: i can see the same images on Photos on my G6 as in a desktop browser, photos.google.com.
but photos.google.com, if i delete a photo, i get a dialogue box -- "Items moved to the bin will be removed from Your Google Photos library, All your synced devices, etc." -- but the photo stays in Google Photos on my G6.
it's as though the phone is synced to upload, but not synced when deleted?
anyone have this issue?

Maybe because it is still in the Gallery App and saved in the device?

dunno what's happening.
- Gallery is showing eight images
- Photos is showing nine images
- photos.google.com is showing six images
i would think that the Photos app and photos.google.com would at least sync, right?
