Skydrive Albums not appearing in picture hub on wp8

[rtrmb]

Hey guys

I have a Lumia 820 and I love but I noticed that my albums on Skydrive dont seem to appear on my Picture Hub ever. Its kind of annoying have to go through the skydrive app and then downloading just to use them ever. I was wondering if anyone knew a fix. Thanks

Nevermind apparently my wp has magic powers and started to do it by itself lol

There have been many threads about this. If you tap on the gray box, the photos are there, just not the folder tile. Unfortunately at this time there is no fix.

Good. Everytime you upload to SkyDrive you have to give it a few minutes in order to sync.

Out of maybe 20 albums only 2 of them show up as grey boxes on my 822. Weird because at first they all showed the picture tile.

why does skydrive, re-arrange my photos in pictures hub? i`ve sorted it by date created on skydrive but in pictures hub they are just gone wild, if you know what i mean...
ok, so not every album is rearrange, some of them are in accurate order...

While in SkyDrive try this format: yyyy_mm as in 2013_02 when renaming your folders and see what happens.

@Shodan
This is also kinda bothers me on my Windows 8 desktop. There your albums just go in by the order in which you uploaded them to SkyDrive. If I've known this I'd started with all my Decembers first. There's no option or setting to rearrange either. This should really be improved.

Hay guys I did this and fixed it. It a little work but it does work.....
Update: So I had some extra time today to try and fix the album issues. I had 6 different ones not showing in the photos hub they were just blank but the pictures were there. First off I logged into SkyDrive on my PC, created new folders and new names but be sure they are set to pictures not documents. Then renamed each picture before moving it to new location (not sure if I had to do the rename but I did) than moved each picture from old folder to the new one. Than deleted the older folder. Refresh than on phone sync my ms account waited awhile than looked at the hub albums all was there. No more blank albums. Just remember it takes a little while for them to show up. ߘJGood luck...

sorry if i wasn`t clear on the matter.... so, pictures and folder are displayed correctly in skydrive (on web, on app in windows and in app in wp8, htc8x btw) but in pictures hub on HTC8X are, in some folders, tottaly out of order. this is very frustrating as i can`t easally access picture that i want...

In the photos hub, are they at least falling alphabetically? Because mine do. I had my folders broken down by month/year, so the Aprils were showing at the top.

folders- yes. no problem there but picutres inside them - no.

Hmmmm... Out of about 30 folders/albums that I have, 3 of them show up as grey boxes but the pictures ARE in there. Don't get what's going on with yours. On SkyDrive do you have them under "pictures" or "files"?

Go onto Skydrive on a web browser on your pc and find the folders that don't show pictures on your people hub, right click and make sure the properties of the folder is set to pictures and not documents.





Than resync your Microsoft account on your phone

Update:
Hay all; sad day the gray, blank albums are all back AGAIN only the ones from SkyDrive?? I don't know what is going on with this.

Ok, a few more of my albums became grey boxes today, of course the pics are still there. It happened when I was in an area where I had a very poor signal and tried to open the photos hub. Basically I wasn't on LTE anymore but on 3G. Does anyone know, how do I do a refresh/resync with SkyDrive now?
