So I want to keep using drop box but I do not want my dropbox photo's to show up in the gallery. I use the filtered settings to not show it but every single time you open it there they are again. Anyone know how to not do this
 
There are some app out there that put a .nomedia file into the folder, this stops the gallery & other apps scanning that particular folder, might be worth a look.

BUT...not sure if this would affect dropbox from scanning the folder for new pictures, might just be trial & error.

Let me know if you get it sorted.

Pete;)
 
I've tried the .nomedia thing in the dropbox folders and it must actually pull it directly from app integration I think. I couldn't find a setting anywhere to disable it.
 
Hi
The only other option I can think of is to try quickpic gallery,the only problem is it doesn't pull photos from Facebook, but it does allow you to hide albums.

Thank Goodness for Dropbox. My HTC phone had eaten up the SDcard
and I thought I had lost my files and photos. But, I had downloaded dropbox on the HTC and forgot all about it (I use a work dropbox account mostly)

So when I got my GN2 yesterday and signed into dropbox... VIOLA!!!!
Everything I thought I had lost was there!!!!!

Now if I could figure out how to stop all my camera shots from uploading even if I delete them from the phone. Was fooling with the camera last night and took a bunch of burst shots and low light shots (just playin') and I had to go thru dropbox and delete them one at a time (on the phone)

Can I adjust the sync setting?

Click to expand...


yes no problem, click on settings from main menu, then to accounts, then to dropbox, then account settings, then turn off camera upload :D

Aaaaaand.....

For the initial question I have found the answer:

Settings->Cloud->Pictures

Bugger knows why this isn't in the sync settings of Dropbox itself.
