I have found posts regarding this but no answers to date , am hoping someone can help. I have got the camera to default to My Pictures , but it is still creating a new folder every day with My Pictures. Does anybody know how to prevent this, as the app I am using needs camera pictures to defualt to
\My Pictures.
hi,
don't know if it;s me BUT I can't view photos I've copied to my docs/my pictures or directly from storage card through programs/file explorer; I get 'not from a trusted source' type messages. The photos in the camera icon in main menu are fine and viewable but surely we can view photos from file explorer?!
This is such a great phone - I can't think this problem is with the phone.,,. derr, thanks in advance for help!
Can you provide more details? What program and which version of the program are you having problem viewing the pictures? Were the pictures that you try to view taken with the HD camera?
hey guys... i've got a popular question...
how to deal this:
i don't want to save the pictures taken by the camera stored in "DCIM"
nor in "My Pictures"
i want the camera app store the pictures in a custom folder, searched in registry but not very successful...
could you help me?

Ok the issue im having is all my pics are together. All I iwant to do is organize them with folders. For example. I want to make a folder just for Family Pics. I also want to make a folder where I just put my friend pics in. Right now im running File Commander. It came loaded in the phone when I got it. I can go right to the picture button and all my pics are right there. But why cant I create folders to organize them. Its so simple. I can rename pics and do almost anything else except put them in seprate folders. Does file Commander not have this feature? Do I have to download a different program that stores all the files (sorry i dont know what you call the file commander program) All I want to do is organize my photos and put them in the proper folders so they are easier to find.
I am very new to this so please explain it clear and simple.
Download Quickpic. Much better and easier.

It's now also possible using the latest Sony Album app (7.0+), as stated in talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Album/creating-folders-for-photos/m-p/946641#M1515.
In Album --> Folders select one or more pictures from a gallery and choose 'move to' in the options menu. You can select either an existing or a new folder as destination.
By default screenshots are saved to the camera location, so Google Photos automatically backs them up.
How do we change that location?
Bump....
This is very annoying
I have the same issue - any workarounds?
Any?
I thought I was the only person this bothered. And it's weird because it doesn't do this on any older galaxys
There doesn't seem to be an option to change the location where screenshots are saved, no.
Just turn off auto backup in Google photos.
Or just stop taking screenshots of women full stop.
Mine saves to folder named "Screenshots", so not sure why yours would be different? Now, if Google backs up screenshots directory to cloud, take it up with Google, maybe there is a setting to choose which directory should be saved (cam pictures are saved to directory /DCIM/camera, screenshots to /DCIM/screenshots ), I don't use cloud for back up, since I use my laptops for that, so can't help you with settings.

Haven't tried this bug you can do a symbolic link from internal to sfcard for whatever folder you want using ln command.
PinSync
Hi, I was looking into this issue today and just found a solution. It's an App called PinSync. ( I can't post links yet... look for it on the PlayStore.)
It detects whenever a screenshot is taken and instantly moves it to another folder, so it's not displayed or uploaded into Google Photos.
I hope it helps you guys as well...
Try below:
Go to the DCIM folder, then Sreenshot folder. At the screenshot folder, add a new file with the name " .nomedia".
It does not change the storage location of screenshot files, but the screenshots will not be displayed in Camera anymore.
I think Google Photo should add an option of how often to backup pictures. Some pictures like screenshots are not meant to be saved for a long time.

Try usin Gallery instead of Google Photos.
Use Automate or Tasker

If you don't fancy paying 89p for PinSync from the Google Playstore, you can download Automate for free, and very quickly and easily make a script that moves any files that appear in one folder to another
Try to move it and move it back again it's work for me

How to add new file ?
I've found that if you are really hellbent on using Google Photos and save your photos to the SD Card via your stock camera app, then when you view the "Library" on the Google Photo app there are two Camera folders. The one without the SD Card icon is where the Screen shots will reside, and the one with the SD Card icon are where your camera photos will be.

Not yet, but I've fed back to Google to update their Photos app. Check out Google Files app. It does categorise the Screenshots folder, so I'm pointing it out to Google dev to address it. It is kind of silly..... Why do they do this for one app and not the other?
