It is possible to use this device as digital photo frame, but without upload photos on the cloud?
Use for this local storage, local network, etc.
I don't to upload my private photos on cloud.
Is there a way to install any app on it ?

I had some files mainly photos on the Phone and when I tried to sichronize with the PC using the active sinc, received an error and now all the photos seemed to be erased on the phone and they are not on the PC neither.
Does anyone knows if there ia any way to recover this files on the Phone?
If they were on your miniSD card, any undelete program should recover them.
they were in the memory of the phone.
Any suggestion?

If you Google 'file recovery program' you'll get plenty of hits, some even free. If your phone shows up as a drive when synced to your computer you may be able to use this type of software to get your photos back. Don't take any more pictures or add any further software to your phone as this may overwrite your missing photos. I've used a program called Photo Recovery for years (the name may have changed by now) and it has recovered all kinds of files for me, not just photos. It cost me around $20 US. Good luck!
There are quite a few apps that will upload your pictures to the cloud (be it flickr, Live etc) but thats not where I want my pictures, I want them at home on my PC.
I have what I hope is a great idea which I hope would be relatively easy to implement.
Why not use a dedicated G-mail account (created by the user) as a repository for pictures, and have a client on each side (phone and desktop) upload and download the pictures.
I see it working this way:
1) You have an app on the phone keeping an eye out for new pictures taken, and when a pic is taken it automatically puts it in the outbox of a dedicated g-mail account as an e-mail with an attachment.
2) Pocket Outlook e-mails the pictures as normal to g-mail.
3) On the desktop, whenever your pc is on, a dedicated e-mail client, using imap or pop, downloads the pictures and then deletes the e-mail. Since g-mail allows many gigabytes of storage your pc wont need to be on all the time, just every once in a while to clear out your e-mail account, and all your pictures are automatically and wirelessly downloaded to your pc.
Advantages - because the normal WM e-mail system is used, you dont need to be connected all the time, you could set it to send and receive 2-3 times per day so it wont have to suck battery. Also because G-mail is used as an intermediary your pc does not have to be on constantly for this to work.
What do people think. To me it sounds feasible and not very complicated. Anyone want to take up the challenge?

Have you seen this, PocketPicasa. It uploads pictures direct to your Google photo album. If you have a decent data tariff it will upload directly or you can set it to email them when you do have a connection.
i think the developer has plans to include offline browsing of your uploaded photos in the near future.
i am using it with Picasa 3 on the PC to synch photos from my desktop. So any i take with my phone and upload are then downloaded next time i run Picasa on the PC.

Does Picassa automatically download photos from your online gallery to your desktop?
Also I think the solution I propose would use a simpler client on both ends, and you wont run into restrictions like e.g. on flickr you can only upload 150 pictures a month (I dont know what picassa's limit is, but the desktop client is very heavy).
The whole point is that it would be seamless and completely automatic.

i have uploaded 200+ images in one go so i don't think there are many restrictions there.
Not sure on the downloading as i haven't really tried it yet.

Downloading is what its all about. I'm not into web 2.0 - I want my data on my PC, not in the cloud.

something that i was searching for a while now and i think might be useful for others too
Sweet Home WiFi
wht it does:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/auto-upload-sync-android-camera-photos-and-videos-to-computer/
little info from that site:
"Users who frequently use their Android device’s camera, transferring or backing up photos and videos to a computer becomes a regular hassle that they would rather avoid. Sweet Home! for Android (2.1 and higher) is a handy application that automatically connects to a user-specified Wi-Fi network when it is in range and starts uploading pictures and videos taken using the camera to the network drive, media center, or home computer. Suppose every time you return home with new photos or videos in your Android phone, this app will start uploading them to a shared directory as soon as it is connected to your local Wi-Fi network."
P.S.:
this is not made by me... i just found this info and shared it as i thought it might be useful to others... any apps as alternatives that u guys have tried?
I have to try this out after trip uploads his latest masterpiece. I don't know how many times I have forgot to backup drunking pictures of the mates. Plus I'm on my 3rd sd card, the others just stopped working.
I will give feedback later

My phone explorer is also good....
this software had been developed for SE phones for many years now and is an excellent alternative to pc companion.
You can get it to connect to your home network via wifi and automatically sync contacts, messages, photos etc....
I have been using this for a couple of days on android now....seems very good.
EDIT: This is also very good to use a multi mount option on the SD card. It lets you browse the internal (If rooted) and external memories of the phone whilst still having the SD card mounted on the phone....
the whole point is that i dont want to manually connect my phone/sdcard everytime... want it to sync over home wifi... i dont want to use dropbox its unnecessary waste of internet bandwidth from phone to dropbox server then back from dropbox server to my desktop....
................................
FANTASTIC! love this app. Had to use ip address and drop workgroup name. Uploading 176 photos now. I always forget to dump the phone when I do my regular digital camera. Shame it doesn't create folders by date or upload into some date parameter named folder.

Are there any apps that do the same, but to for example dropbox over the mobile internet instead of Wifi?

you can configure Titanium Media Sync; lets you backup to the cloud or your own servers via FTP, SFTP,FTPS. It also supports dropbox too.
Hello!
I recently moved from a Windows 7 phone to Android and the thing I miss most is the ability to sync wirelessly my photos from my computer to my phone. Here is how I did it on my Windows phone:
1. I would go into Zune (the software used to sync the phone, similar to iTunes) and choose the folders from my computer to sync with my phone.
2. I would plug my phone into its wall charger and it would sync wirelessly every night when I charged it.
The photos would be synced to my gallery and I was able to see the photos even when I wasn't connected to my phone provider or internet.
Is there any way to do this on my new Samsung Galaxy S5? I attempted to copy my photos using the USB cable, but I didn't have enough room to move them. I had 16GB of storage on my Windows phone, the same amount as my Galaxy, and the photos fit on the Windows, so there is obviously some way to do it.
I can live without the whole no-internet or cell service needed to see the photos, but I would really love to be able to at least access my photos from my phone.
Note: in the gallery, if I scroll down I see a "connected devices" option, and underneath those devices (which are my home laptop and PC) there is "no images" listed. How do I get photos shared between these connected devices?
Thank you so much!
I use google drive fotosync for this so I have all my mobile pictures accessable on every computer where i have internet access and log in to my google account.
With the app FolderSync you can sync special folders with nearly any cloud.

I have quite a lot of photos to sync, probably more than 600. Can you sync a lot of photos?
My S8+ arrives and will load from scratch. Im replacing my Note 4 running 6.0.1. I'm trying to get all high resolution/large contact photos.
Here are different ways I have done it in the past;
1. I use Microsoft Exchange 2016/Office 365 to sync my contacts which I beleive does not allow the transfer of full res contact photos.
2. I have created a folder with all my contacts in it. I can use Cheetah Sync tool to update my laptop folder with the phone and then go into each contact and add the photo. Its a clunky way and everytime I get a new phone, I have to manually go in and add everytime.
3. I can create in Gmail duplicate contacts with the photos already attached. I believe those will transfer to the phone as full res. And then LINK the contacts.
4. I used Sync.Me to pull photos from Facebook. The problem is none of those were high res. I purchased the license but maybe I did not have it confiigured correctly or perhaps Facebook shut down the ability to do it with high res photos
Has anything changed in Android 7.0 or on the S8+ to make this any easier or automatic? I dont plan to root the device.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
