G+_James Thatcher Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hey everyone, need some help. I purchased the nexus 5 for my wife, not huge techie.... is there a way on the nexus5 to have it confirm before deleting pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Andrew Thompson Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Like super confirm? I believe both the Gallery and G+ Photos app both confirm before you delete anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Gary McCrorey Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Just run G+ auto backup. You can always retrieve your photos that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_DUCK BUTTER Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 On G+ you have up to 60 days to retrieve a deleted photo just in case. You would retrieve it on a comp, not from G+ on your phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_James Thatcher Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Here's the thing - when she goes to look at the photos from the camera, it takes her to Google Photos (G+ right) and she's bumping the delete button from there... if it would default and take her to gallery (like older versions of Android) then she would have to hit the menu button to delete... I'm just worried that we're missing pictures now and that's a big deal to parents of new kids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 James Thatcher not sure what you are asking here as if you are in the photos app, if you attempt to delete a photo a pop up comes up asking if you wish to delete the photo from everywhere. If you are in the camera app you have to swipe the photo upward to delete it. I suggest however that you enable backup for your photos automatically, if you do not want to use Google backup you can use dropbox or another service using IFTTT, here is a recipe for that https://ifttt.com/recipes/165420-android-automatically-backup-all-new-photos-to-dropbox I would also suggest you install a 3rd party gallery app so that if you do delete the picture it will just be on the phone and you will be sure to get a confirmation b4 you delete , here are 2 choices https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flayvr.flayvr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_James Thatcher Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi Marlon Thompson thanks for the 3rd party gallery apps... didn't think of that... as far as auto backup to G+ goes, I guess that's my question... if I have it enabled (which I do) and she deletes it from photos - doesn't that kill it in G+ too?

G+_Marlon Thompson Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 James Thatcher yep that's why you could enable a double backup as well as get her to use the 3rd party galleries so that if she deletes them in there you still have them in the cloud as the 3 party apps only delete from the device. By the way you can enable automatic camera upload straight from the dropbox app. If you want camera upload for other services you can use an IFTTT recipe.

G+_James Thatcher Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Marlon Thompson I think I might do that via SkyDrive, just because you get so much space for free... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 James Thatcher no problem and the app has automatic backup so your good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
