Is there any way to use the photos app separate from google + ? Alternatively is there a 3rd party photos app that people recommend?
Check Picasa Tool in Playstore... It works well for me syncing with Google.
I recommend quickpic as a gallery app and it can sync with dropbox, google drive, picasa, and a few other nifty things
I also recommend QuickPic. It's my personal favorite.

I love Dropbox, but I use it mainly for photos.
Unfortunately it seems like the droobox app doesn't show thumbnails for my photos which makes it very hard to navigate.
Anyone know a seamless solution to this (not including going through the Dropbox webssite)?
The gallery will show them also only after you downloaded. Maybe you have to wait for an update from Dropbox? I think the reason is that as long as you have not downloaded them Dropbox wants to preserve memory/space on your phone and only shows basic info. If the devs realize the tablet market is increasing with devices offering more memory and computing power they might offer a more "Explorer-like" UI.
Dropbox on iOS has 2 features that I know of Android version doesn't, one is the thumbnails and the other is password lock. both were working on the ipad. Why the hell are they different I have no clue.
While I do use dropbox for a lot of things. I prefer using Picasa if I want to manipulate my pictures. being able to sync easily from my desktop and having access to the pics in the gallery on the xoom is pretty awesome. That is just my opinion. I paid $5 to have 20gb for a year from google. I hated to have to move the files to dropbox since picasa will detect new photos or changes and sync them without me thinking about it.
I like them both but I find dropbox better for files and with Quick Office HD integration it is awesome for that.

I use picasa for my normal photos but for patient photos that I want to update on both my computer and xoom dropbox seems like a better option. Also allows me to organize those patient photos into folder albums...
does anyone have their Picasa Web Albums showing in the stock Gallery App? I was able to see them on all of my prior devices (both stock and custom ROMs, including KitKat). I do see the "photos" app, which has them, but I prefer they were in the gallery app.
thanks!
Picasa is dead isn't it? It's now Google Photos.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but I'l take a stab at it.
I used to have some Picasa albums, which were eventually merged into Google Drive. No matter what phone I have, they always seem to appear in my gallery app. Somehow, all of my Picasa albums were merged into Google Plus. To access them, you can navigate to picasaweb.google.com/
They show up in my stock gallery app, and I didn't change any settings to make that happen.
I hope that helps.
It is possible to sync photos with CM11 without using Google+ or other third applications ?
Apps as GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk or GoogleContactSyncAdapter.apk but for photos, it does not exist ?
Up
Only third apps : Picasa? :good: Dropbox? :good: Microsoft One Drive? :good: Google Drive? :good:
I've been using Dayframe for casting my photos to Chromecast but the app is quite buggy and I am looking for an alternative app that can cast from accounts on FB, flickr, 500px etc. Do you guys have any recommendation for such app?
You can cast personal photos from the Chromecast app. Create a an album in your Google Drive account and place the photos theres then tell the Chromecast to cast from that folder. Not sure if there are any automated ways to do what you want though.

I don't want to duplicate my pictures but instead cast them from where they are.

Reviving an old thread to see if there are any new alternatives. I want to cast my pictures from FB, Flickr and 500px.
Another bump as I've got similar issue (using tablet as photo frame with Google photos and dropbox).
Any good alternatives found?
Hi,
I'm not 100% sure, but I've had access to my cloud photos from gallery app in P10 (like they were still on phone). Now I see only photos made with this phone.
All synchronization options are on. Any one knows how to access those photos without using web app/browser?
Best regards
TBH,
I use google photos, flickr and one drive to backup my photos to the cloud, this ensures I can use them across all my devices (mobile, tablet, pc, laptop, tv)
Have you checked via the windows login to see if the photos are showing
Yes, when i login in browser I can access, download etc all uploaded files. Just don't see them in phone
Looks like I can only upload them but not download or view directly in gallery app
