Change file save path for camera app

rambos@lemm.ee to Android@lemmy.world – 10 points –

Hey guys, Im looking for solution to change default save path from /DCIM/Camera to another folder (that syncs with selfhosted cloud). I tried 2 versions of gcam, opencamera and few apps from play store, but cant find a way how to change save path. I also want to use non google galery, enjoying simple galery pro atm.

I have motorola moto g42 with stock OS and no root. Thx

In your cloud sync app, you should be able to ask it to sync your camera folder - I know the nextcloud app asks if you want this, and you can also point it to specific folders to keep in sync.

If your self host cloud doesn't have an app, just use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full to sync chosen folders.

I am using nextcloud, but I guess I dont have good setup I have tried that and its working, but if I delete picture in nextcloud folder its automatically added again. I have to delete picture in gallery first, then delete in nextcloud folder. Thats why I have set nextcloud to move files to app folder, but seems like my camera app can point only to DCIM folder so I cant open new gallery folder from camera.

Im just trying to find a way how to delete unwanted photos before daily backup at 4 AM. Sometimes I take 100 photos in a day and then I want to delete some when I get home so they dont use my cloud storage, same with backup storage. Is that not possible? Should I use your method and just keep everything in nextcloud? I feel like Im doing everything wrong and missing something important
