    Welcome to the Forum. You most likely have Google sync on. Go to Settings> Google and turn off sync. To remove the folder long press should give you a trash can

    Google is most likely syncing your laptop pics. If you disable sync it will stop

    Welcome to the forum svtiss! I would have to say Google is synced as well. Other than that, i'm not sure. Do you have a Picasa and/or Google+ acct? If so, check to see if the sync is turned off on those.

    Well... As I said this isn't Google, it's coming from my laptop, when the laptop is off, the folder doesn't show up. And I turned the sync off. Come on guys more ideas, please,!
    And please don't mention Google service again.

    Re: Gallery , unwanted folder

    We're just trying to help sv. The only reason your files would sync automatically is if an app is set to sync automatically. The main offenders would be Google, Google +, Picasa, Dropbox, Facebook, etc. Your sync option could be enabled on your pc as well with many of these.
    Do you have any of these other apps mentioned? What "picture" apps do you have installed on your phone?

    Thanks for help but, I turn the whole sync services off, and just don't know what else I have to check, every time I open Gallery it starts downloads and counting from zero to 6000 pics, that amount I have on my laptop.

    What other picture apps do you have installed on your phone? (and your pc) It shouldn't do that automatically, so there has to be an app on your phone, or one on your pc that's causing this. Without a list of other picture apps/programs (or cloud based storage apps.like dropbox) you have, there's no way to determine which one is causing this. All I can suggest is going through your picture apps, facebook, etc, check your settings in each to try and narrow it down.
    Good luck!
