Stop Dropbox photalbums showing in Gallery

[saldawop]

How can I do this? I want to be able to view the photos via the Dropbox app but I dont want them appearing in the Gallery

Edit: Is it to do with linking device to Dropbox? I dont remember that option being there on my S3 and never had this issue then?

Edit 2: Unlinked device.Put my details in again.Must have missed the tickbox "Upload existing photos"

Settings -> Cloud -> on DropBox synchronization -> Picture and Video off

If it's just the gallery you don't want want them to appear in, you could try putting a blank file in that folder ".nomedia" that stops any images, mp3s etc... showing up in the gallery and music app respectively.

Post 2 is correct

Dropbox images showing in Gallery is a samsung service not dropbox.

It is configured in Menu > settings > cloud

I just want to add that after doing this your photos will STILL get uploaded to your Dropbox account,

And!!!

As this is a sync service, if you delete images from the gallery (dropbox images) it will also delete them from dropbox!

What about facebook pics? How do i get rid of them from showing in the gallery. I tried gallery>view by>Contents in device, but once i exit the gallery and re enter, the facebook albums still show up.

Facebook ones are deactivated in the facebook app itself.
