Just tried it, it only backs up Camera photos. If one uses a third-party app to take pictures then Drive doesn't pick them up (on Android at least)
If you have the path set to DCIM/Camera then it works.
What if you move the photos into the DCIM/Camera folder?
Then it works. They just don't let you manually select the folder. Has to be DCIM/Camera
What if one has a stupid Sony phone with stupid "Photography Pro" camera app, that doesn't let you change the download path? Any tips?
Get Foldersync.
It can automatically move the files there for you, instantly, or on a schedule.
That app has been for years a lifesaver for me to put files where I want them.
Thanks for the suggestion, but sadly that app is listed to have ads and it's not open-source either, so for me personally that won't work.
However, I was recommended an app called Media Merger on F-droid, worked flawlessly for me!
Ahh 2 of us already. Wtf are proton doing?
Seriously it's android. We have loads of weird and whacky photo dirs.
Can you elaborate on "third party?" To me, that means not the system app, but a user installed one. I've used my system camera (app.grapheneos.camera) and one not originally part of my OS (user app) that I've installed from the Play Store (com.google.android.GoogleCamera) and they both backed up automatically.
