Is there a way to delete a picture from the photos tab without removing it from the folder(s) I have placed it in? I have placed photos in multiple folders to keep things organized and was wondering if I could delete them from the photos tab without deleting them from their folders in the files tab

Hey rc07, thanks for reaching out.

 

At the moment, it's not possible to choose which photos appear in the photos tab or remove photos without deleting them from the account.

 

I found this relevant idea on our idea board, though, which you can up-vote to show your support.

      Hi M S.1, I checked and it seems you had a different thread open, troubleshooting about your Photos tab on your mobile.

       

      When you say that the link takes you to this very page, I am not exactly sure I follow. Can you let me know more as to which link you're referring to?

         Megan,

         

        the link referred to is included in your message and embedded here "I found this relevant idea on our idea board, though, which you can up-vote to show your support."

         

        I also want to upload photos, move them to files and once moved not have them in the photos tab.

         

        So I went to the link you gave and tried to upvote/request this and it just came back here.

         

        the photos tab seems usless to me.  If you dont file them away they all will appear in the uploads section.  If you do file they just all stay jumbled up here anyway
