someone????
maybe try making a new dropbox account just for your phone/photos?
Same problem for me!
in my new Galaxy S4, with dropbox pre-installed, the app downloads everything that es in the folders to my phone!!! And no file marked as favorites.
Of course I don't want dropbox to download all files to my phone. All i want, when enabled and at this moments it's disabled, is upload my photos to dropbox and, that's all!
How can I disable this function!!!
yess please help uss!!!!
Settings, accounts and cloud, you can stop that. I hope.

Would someone please suggest a solution to backing up pictures and or whatever files I'd like to store from my phone. I'd like to be able to sync directly frm my phone to the cloud. I know Hotmail offers the SkyDrive but I don't see anyway to sync directly to it from my phone. Gmail would be the ideal location but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.

Try dropbox.

Great, thanks.
I just found "MyBackup Root" (from the market) last night, and seems to be pretty nice.
It can backup / restore a ton of things including images, mms, call logs, home screen shortcuts, etc.
I haven't tested restoring yet, but a lot of reviews say it's pretty good.
The paid version ($4.99) has online backup support, but it seems it's limited to only 50MB (lame).
People are requesting Dropbox support (would be nice to see that incorporated).
=]
Thanks again!
For pictures, go with photobucket for it's automatic upload. It is essentially a set it and forget it types of operation.
Stock DI18 to Stock DK28
Tht's what I'm looking for. When I had a Windows phone I used MyPhone. You could tell it what to sync and it would roll automatically. Unfortunetly they only offered 200MB of storage.
you've also got native, built-in picasaweb syncing you can use, if you haven't tried that out.
But ya, I use dropbox 99% of the time. Or a wifi FTP app (fireftp?) if it's a lot of stuff.
Is there an iOS like "PhotoStream" manner of getting pictures onto N7?
Picasa?
I know one can plug into USB, just look for a more streamlined method.
Thanks for any input!
It's called Google+
Sign in the G+ go to settings and it's called "Instant Upload"
any picture you take, it'll auto upload to G+ (in essence it's Picasa also)
BTW, Google had Instant Upload before the "PhotoStream"

And FYI, any photo/video that is automatically Instantly Uploaded are marked as Private, so on you can see them, then you can choose to Share them to your Circles.
You can use drive, box, photobucket and dropbox as cloud storage to sync files between devices.
Currently using drop box but I've found I can't choose to sync individual folders such as camera uploads from my phone...that way I don't have all my drop box files filling up my N7. Anyone have a suggestion?
Just got this phone. Would like to seek advice from experienced members here.
How do I set the gallery to show only photos from phone by default? By default the setting is all, which includes picassa and Dropbox, which makes opening gallery rather slow as it loads photos from there. Every time I have to set it to view photo from phone only.
Can it be done? Using stock stock rom but rooted.

the main reason i want to do this is because it takes a minute or so to load my photos due to the fact it is searching for photos on my picassa account.
however, i found a way to disable that.
settings->google (under "accounts")->[your email, under "accounts"]->untick "sync picasa web albums"
done! i also unticked sync chrome, currents, google+, instant upload, internet... i left contacts, gmail and calander as i use them.
thanks everyone for trying to help me. i really appreciate that

I just installed Box, signed in and rebooted. Just went to Gallery to share a pic and Box is an option now.
Thanks but what I wanted was to be able to view those (box pictures) from the gallery. Out you look at the to left in the gallery, it says " gallery". If you click it, it has other options.

I'm only seeing Dropbox get added as an option in the Gallery, I went to Cloud and Accounts but no option to add other Clouds. Still Picasa and Dropbox can easily store several lifetimes of photos. I have 100 gigs free with Dropbox.
Also I suggest adding Google drive and Google Plus accounts, every photo I take goes automatically to my photo storage on Google Plus. You get 15 gigs of space free and any photos you upload less than 2048px (or that you let Google+ resize for you) won't count against your limits.
So, still no solution to that?

Is there anyway to completely remove the Picasa selection from Gallery?

Hi,
I just started using cloud storage to backup my videos and pictures online, using box and google+.
But before i delete everything from my phone to get extra space, i want to make sure everything was actualybuploaded.
Is there anyway to compare files between the box and my device?
Same with google+ and my device...
Thanks!
