including those downloaded from online accounts. Pictures downloaded
from online accounts are not stored on your device. The My TouchPad
library contains only albums containing pictures and videos that are
stored on your device. The following table tells you where to find your
pictures and videos both in the Photos & Videos app and in your device’s
