Fossify Gallery is the new fork of Simple Gallery after the latter was bought by a marketing company. It's on F-Droid and Droid-ify. https://www.f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.gallery/
It's very customizable, and does everything you mentioned. Except that Google Photos can share a photo through the cloud. Fossify just has the normal Android share mechanism to send the photo to your email app, text app, etc.
The built-in basic editor is very basic. Instead, I use "Photo Editor" from dev.macguyver. It's practically Photoshop, but doing basic edits are pretty easy. I paid for the ad-free version, and it's totally worth it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iudesk.android.photo.editor
That photo editor looks great! Thanks!
It's amazing. It has Curves, Clone Stamp, arbitrary rotation, image overlay, text overlay, drawing tools... and on and on. You can sort the buttons at the bottom to have your most used tools on the left. There's a menu that does it: Use the three-bar menu in that row which opens all of the tools buttons for easy access in a single window, and at the bottom is a sort icon that lets you drag them up and down in a list.
Thanks! I just installed fossify gallery and it looks good so far. Is there a way to manually organize the folders on the screen? Basically I want to get the camera folder shown at the top. The other folders don't matter as much. This seems like a nice app that will take some getting used to.
Added: hmm, I hoped it could show some thumbnails for each folder like Google photos does.
Yes, you can "pin" a folder. Long press a folder then check the 3-dot menu.
Sadly, I don't know of a way to show multiple thumbnails for a folder.
I did recently discover the icon in the search bar that looks like a stack of image. It makes it show all photos by date, regardless of folder. Very handy. When combined with changing the column count in the menu (Or doing a pinch-to-zoom out, which can be a little laggy) you can see a ton of recent photos as once.
Thanks! Pinning the camera folder worked.
You can sort folders from settings. It's also possible to pin the camera folder so it's always first.
