I was in a trip, and I took a lot of photos and videos. I get home, upload the to google drive to be able to share them, and I see that a nice video has been created. I search about this option (cool feature), I wanted to edit the video that was created but I see that it is compatible with only a bunch of devices. Expand supported devices.
I searched in order to try to bypass this "device compatibility", but no results.
What I have tried:
-Downloading an early version of Google Photos (as a result from reading from this ) - maybe it is related to Google play services (see the update of the scrolling apps, instead of swiping for Google launcher)
-Renaming build.prop file to be like Samsung S6 How_to_here (renamed the model and the device, maybe I should have renamed more)
-Installing some "wonder apps" this_one
None worked.
Feel free to try 'em too.
I mention that my phones hardware will surely support video processing.
Chinese/indian stuff Gionee Elife E7. Android version 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.0-svn464
I can provide all sorts of info, but I believe that it may be a simpler work around.
So, my question is: how to make that option (video creating & editing in Google photos) available from other phones, excluding the compatibility list.
Cheers! :good:

Click to expand...

yes me too.
hope the option to change file attributes also gets added very soon.
unfortunately, even after making a lot of search, i haven't found an android application which can change file attributes.
Before buying my One X+, I used to own an HTC Desire HD.
In the Internet app, whenever I wanted to share a picture (say on Whatsapp, GMail, Viber or any other program) I used to long-press on the image, and from the popup menu, I would select "share image with", then from the new popup screen I would choose the program I want to choose said image from.
Now, with Jellybean, my only options are to:
Save image
View image
Set as wallpaper
or
Share link
no "share picture"
And unless I'm mistaken, this should be bugging a whole lot of other people too, as this is not limited to the Internet app, but the same applies to Chrome (where the only 3 options for an image long-press are "save, open or open in new tab"
Because of this, I now have to save the file, go to Whatsapp or to the Gallery app, select the picture, and share the picture, then when i'm done, i have to delete the pic from the gallery, because well... i don't like to pile up stuff i no longer need.
I searched the forum and the web, and couldn't find a fix for it.
Which is worse, either very little people are raising this issue, or I'm unable to find these posts... everybody with Jelly Bean is suffering from this problem, but Googleing for "share image with option directly from browser on Jelly Bean" doesn't really yield that many relevant results! The keywords are just too generic!!!
So my question is: Can this situation be remedied by some sort of add-on to Chrome Mobile, a custom apk that modifies Chrome's sharing options or something???
PS: I know I can share the URL of the picture, but that's not the point now, is it? I want to be able to share the picture, not its URL.
Update: I just installed Firefox Browser for Android, and it has the option to share an image directly from the browser! It's a pity I won't be using Chrome anymore since it's super fast and it allows for bookmarks sharing between my laptop and phone, but well... I guess I'll have to make do with Firefox for now.
I don't get it though... why would Firefox have the option enabled and Chrome be so retarded that way? Pity! Firefox even has an extension that allows for a full-screen experience, like with the Internet app!
Chrome needs to improve on these basic stuff real soon!!! For many, like myself, not being able to directly share images from the browser is a deal-breaker (as soon as I found a browser that could)

RE: Google Photos
I recently got a new budget phone, which I actually like considering the very little $ it cost. It's been flawless except one problem which makes it impossible for me to find any photos. The phone is a Umidigo Power running stock Android 9. The one and only app that is doing what I am about to show is VideoShow which I use frequently and want to keep.
The phone is pulling every single folder which contains a graphic file (hundreds of folders and thousands of thumbnails) and putting them in Google Photos be making it impossible to find my own stuff. I have emailed both phone maker & app maker with no success. Attached is a screenshot of a small percentage of what's showing up.
I'm looking for an app that can essentially do the same thing as Google Photos "Express" Backup or Facebook photo/video upload.
My issue is that I would like to be able to backup photos and videos right after I take them into drive. In order to conserve data and battery usage, I'd like to upload a lower quality version of the video and perhaps a lower quality version of photos too. That way, if I'm out all day and my phone gets lost/stolen/destroyed, I don't lose everything from that day and at least have a low quality version (which is better than nothing)
Facebook seems to be able to do this when you make a post with photos/videos attached. It seems to be able to compress them very quickly and upload them without using much data or battery. I think Whatsapp can do the same. Google Photos seems to have this feature in some countries. It has an "Express" quality which lets you upload a lower quality version. They say they are testing it before they make it available to everyone. It's been a year since they announced and still nothing.
Therefore, I'm asking the community here if anyone knows of an app I can use to do what I am looking for.
I have contemplated writing my own app, but I have no experience with the google drive interface or video/photo compression.

If your device is rooted then install Root Explorer Pro.
IMHO Root Explorer Pro is one of the best file manager apps for users of rooted Android . It can access all the files involved in the Android OS, it consist of Google drive, Dropbox, sending files, network support, create and extract zip files, send files via Bluetooth, etc.pp.
No it is not rooted. Also, I don't think lossless compression is enough. Videos are already highly compressed so Zipping typically does not provide much savings. Lossy compression is the only way which requires use of a video codec.
I have found apps that can do the video compression using mediacodec. If I could find one that could automatically do it by monitoring a folder (my camera folder) and then place it in another folder, that would be enough. I already have a program that can auto sync the contents of a folder to google drive.
