Is that an industry standard folder? Last two phones and my digital camera uses that same folder.

telling the phone where to put pics/vids

so when I got this phone and I uploaded my pics/vids to it. it made several funny folder names in the gallery and randomly put all my pics/vids in them. so I deleted them and made 2 gallery folders, camera and vids. and put all my pictures and vids in the 2 folders.
Problem is. Now, whether I take a pic or vid from the phone, it puts it in my camera folder. How do I make it so the phone will put vids it in my vid folder automatically?

Photos are not saved.

I have a strange problem. I have rooted 6045Y with cm-12.1. I would like to save my photos into external sd. I have changed camera storage into external sd.
When I take a photo, it makes folder /storage/sd1/DCIM/Camera and saves photo there. So far, so good.. but when I after a while check the folder, everything inside DCIM is disappeared?!?

I can however save files into external sd. Yes, I can but they disappear, if they are in folder. I put some .mp3 files into root of my card and those didn't disappear. However, I can't listen them, because they misses.

Yes this is a current problem in CM 12.1 certain camera apps will save photos on the external sd card, ex. Open Camera.

But stock camera and for example Camera360 saves the photos there, but after couple of minutes photos have disappeared.
I can I put .mp3 files into root of my card (and they stay there), but I can't listen them, because songs misses.

How do you stop pictures from other apps showing up in gallery and camera?

How do you stop pictures from other apps showing up in gallery and camera?
Basically, if wifey sends a unique picture, why does it show in my camera view below when I'm trying to take a picture?
Put a file named ".nomedia" in the folder where the pictures are stored.

Google photos is not recognizing screenshots folder and uploads it on drive

Hello guys,
Today I got a strange error which I am pretty sure that worked yesterday and before. In my google photos app, I cannot see screenshots folder anymore, instead screenshots are in the Camera folder together with camera photos. I checked and both folders are in DCIM folder on a system, separated, one is "Camera" and one is "Screenshots" folder, but in the app, they are together in one "camera" folder.
In the gallery app, everything works fine, I just want to sync Camera album and not Camera+screenshots album on my drive.
Thanks
No one still?

Does the pixel upload 4K videos?

Hi everyone, I know The Pixel doesn't record 4K videos, but I use my OG pixel now for backing up photos and videos only. I copy all of my photos and videos from my new device to the OG pixel to upload to Google photos for unlimited high quality storage. Recently I've noticed that when I shoot 4K videos in a copies to my OG pixel it doesn't upload the videos to Google photos. I would have to go on the phone and manually upload it to Google photos. It's still doesn't count towards my storage but I have to do it manually every time. Is this something that Google just put in place on the photos app to to not allow the OG pixel to upload 4K videos or was it always like this?
My s20 4k videos upload just fine through my pixel xl, as soon as i copy them to the pixel and open them in photos they start being uploaded. Can't believe i found one for only $20
it uploads 4k, but since it's such an old phone i'm guessing it just takes a while for it to chew through it. i share screen recordings to mine, and it takes a while for it to show up after downloading it from my pixel 6p. it does eventually upload though.
how are you both copying your stuff to your old pixel 1? i'm just using nearby share once/day. @peachpuff $20?? i paid 100 for mine on swappa! I was bummed that i had to get another one, my original one probably has a dead motherboard
@biglo what folder are the videos being copied to, and is it set to automatically upload from that folder? check your settings

I just copy through usb, but I'll try nearby share next time. Yup $20, and it was in perfect condition too.

I was able to sort it out. Turns out it was a user error on my end. I changed my device name and the Synology Photos app created a new path on my NAS that wasn't being uploaded. Thanks for your help!
I use SyncThing to copy photos from the PC to the Pixel - which then uploads it. You can also sync other phones camera folders to the pixel. The one thing that isn't perfect is, that the pixel can't just pull all photos from a network folder.
I'm a little concerned that copying and deleting the pixels storage over and over causes stress on the memory and lowers the longevity of the device.

I figure the battery would go before the flash storage module does. That, or Google writes the GPhotos app to no longer work with Android 10.
