Deleted photos keep coming back and new pictures disappear - Samsung Galaxy S4
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. I have 2 problems which may or may not be related.
1. Deleted photo keep coming back. I have tried the following:
- Deleted photos directly from the gallery app
- Deleted photos from SD card directly
- Cleared the data and cache from the gallery app (connected and not connected to the internet).
I am completely at a loss as to why this is happening. The only thing I can think of is my use of dropbox. My understanding is Dropbox uploads photos I take when on a wi-fi network via a sync feature. However I don't believe photos on my dropbox would download to my device - am I wrong?
I have searched the web and cannot find a solution that works. I do not use Google+ or Picasa (that seems to be brought up a lot on forums). I have read that you are supposed to turn off sync feature, but wouldn't that disable Dropbox from being able to upload my photos (besides I wasn't even able to disable sync for Dropbox)
2. Photos I take disappear. At first I thought it was lack of memory, but I have 32 GBs available on my SD card out of 64 GB, and 4 GB available on 16 GB internal memory. Pictures I take while in a wi-fi environment will upload to dropbox (thankfully), but will be lost otherwise.
I thought deleting my gallery photos would help, but I can't even do that.
Please help!
Thanks,
Alex
