Screenshot location & Google Photos backup

[alonmore28]

Hey everyone

I have had some problems with regarding screenshots on my Note 8.

1. Screenshots are by default stored at a folder named DCIM/Screenshots.
can this, by any way, be changed? I couldn't find any normal way throughout the settings. My device is rooted with TWRP if that helps...

2. Google Photos automatically backs up all images in the DCIM folder and subfolders.
I like the auto backup thing. It's fine by me. But I don't like the fact that it backs up my screenshots. both for Clutter reasons and privacy reasons.
While you can go ahead and pick folders to be backed up by the app IN ADDITION to the DCIM folder, I can't make the app to not include the DCIM/Screenshots in the backup.

A solution to any of the issues will help.
If I can get my screenshots to be saved to a different folder - that's great. If I can make the Google Photos app to not include the "DCIM/Screenshots" folder in the auto upload - that would be even better.

Thank you for your help
Have a great day.

Actually - Seeing now:
Besides Screenshots folder in the "DCIM" folder, there's also a few more folders containing images other than pictures I took with my camera. Images which I have no interest in backing up.
Therefore I think the main problem is the fact that the Google Photos app is by default uploading the entire DCIM folder and not letting users decide if they want all subfolders included.

thanks...
