Screenshot location

[guy6136206]

Hey! Is there a way to change the default location of the screenshot? I can't use Google photos properly like this, it keeps on sync my screenshot folder.
Tnx.

Screenshot location can vary. For me it's Pictures/Screenshots. I can (and have) disallowed Google Photos from syncing that folder. Where do your screenshots go?

It's going to DCIM/screenshot.
And Google automatically backup this entire folder so, it's a problem for me.

Make a file called .nomedia in the Screenshot folder and sync will ignore it. It will also mean it won't show up in gallery apps.

Did not work, I have created a new folder named .nomedia and the gallery is still showing it.

A file, not a folder. Inside the screenshots folder make a file called .nomedia.

It's a built in method in Android to exclude folder contents from certain apps.

Yeah had to download a new file manager to craft a file, but unfortunately the Google photos is still showing and backup my screenshot, even tho the gallery isn't showing them.

Works fine for me. I made a new folder in DCIM, created the .nomedia file, then copy/pasted in some random pics. Google Photos doesn't see the folder at all.

So you have root? Maybe it's connected to it, this is so weird

Did you resolve this? I have the same issue with my POCO F1 and it's driving me nuts

Sad to say, but I solved it using "Auto File transfer Lite" (Search at google play)

It's not the best solution, but at least is an acceptable workaround IMHO.
Just hope some day Google allows to select DCIM subfolders to sync or Xiaomi to change screenshot folder destination.

Guys! U can do one thing. I am also a xiomi user. Move the screenshot folder from DCIM and transfer it to another place. Then u can back up on google photos. It will only contain CAMERA folder images

What will happen, if you make another screenshot after that?
