How to transfer pics to Nexus 7 16gb

[Cat12]

Hello. I would like to be able to transfer pics from my Kodak Easy Share v550 to my new Nexus 7 by plugging in the SD card from the camera.
Is this possible? What would I need to purchase. The camera supports pictbridge. Thank you very much.

All you need is an otg cable and you should be able to connect the camera to your n7 with it and transfer photos.

or setup your free 5gb google drive and upload/download to and from it, from either/or.....

Or how about a good old way. Transfer photos to PC and then hook up N7 to PC and pick and drop them to N7. Sometimes the easiest way is the one everybody knows how to do.

BTW Nexus doesn't have an SD card slot so that's out of question.

I agree. OP is making this way more complicated than it needs to be.

Option 1:
Get SD card reader with USB, OTG cable or mini USB adapter, and Nexus Media Importer app.

Option 2:
Transfer photos to PC then use USB cable to transfer the files to your tablet,

Option 3:
Transfer photos to PC, get Picasa for PC, upload your photos to Picasa. You will see your photos in your Nexus 7's gallery. This keeps the photos on the server and off of your tablet.

Incorrect info, so sorry.

You can plug in an OTG adapter and plug in a SD / ANY kind of memory reader or even a hard drive / DVD player and read directly from the camera media with no trouble using either unrooted Nexus Media Importer or rooted stickmount [settings > Storage > 3 periods at top right (menu) > USB computer connection > Media Device (MTP)

OR

You can plug your camera directly into the N7 if your cable or adapter will fit and do the transfer directly using settings > Storage > 3 periods at top right (menu) > USB computer connection > Camera (PTP)

Yes, but what if you don't have a computer handy or free? Would getting a Memory Card Reader, plugging it into the OTG cable, and plugging that into the N7 do the trick? Is the software in place such that the N7 knows what to do next?

Along with the OTG dongle, and your card read, you'll need to get Nexus Media Importer (NMI) for this to work. I just got my N7 last week, mainly to view photos while I'm traveling (and not often connected to the Internet).

NMI cost a few bucks but I think it's worth it. Works really well. Only thing is, you might want to also get some kind of file manager app (I have X-plore) so you can create folders for your images. And then you can direct NMI which folder you want to copy your images to. The Android file structure is a bit odd to me (not being a techie, and coming from using Windows XP), but I've been able to find my way around in it. Just remember to create your folders and copy your files to the (sdcard) directory, not the (root) directory.

I usually put my image files in a folder, something like: (sdcard)/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/my-folder/

I also downloaded the app Photo Editor (by dev.macgyver). I haven't learned too much about image editing with it, but it does have a Batch function, so I can resize my JPG files, making them smaller so they take up less space on my tablet. I will be keeping the original JPGs and the raw files on my SD cards, so I really only want to view and maybe do some light editing while traveling, so don't need really big files. Once I've done the batch conversion (PE puts the files in an odd place, and can't remember right now where that is), I delete the original big files and replace them with the smaller ones.

Finally, besides Photo Editor, I have Snapseed (free app, owned by Google), which I haven't played with too much; and I also got Photoshop Touch ($10), which I've been doing most of my editing on--it's working out well, once I've figured out how to use it.

Hope that is helpful, and not "too much information."

Regards, David

Not true for most/many cameras, I believe. If your camera supports either mtp or pictbridge, nmi is not needed, just the otg cable.

I'm having a little problem with downloading pictures from my SD card to my Nexus 7 using Nexus Media Importer. What I would like to do, is to download my pictures to a specific folder that I have previously established in the /Pictures primary folder. I can't seem to find how to tell Nexus Media Importer that this is the folder I want to use. The pictures all get downloaded to the primary Pictures folder. I believe the ability is there to do what I would like to do, but I just don't see how to do it.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Stew
