Question: how to also sync screenshots from the /e/OS to eCloud ?
Thanks!

Edit 2020-10-28. Sorry, found it:
The screenshots from my /e/OS are synced to eCloud at \Files\Pictures\Screenshots\
( And the Photos that we see under the Photos header are also at \Files\Photos\OpenCamera\ )

By the way, is there a reason why there is both a \Pictures\ and a \Photos\ ?

Hi @HekatheGreat,

you asked the question a while ago but if you are still looking for a solution, I would say that if you create a folder using Files app in the folders DCIM > OpenCamera or Pictures, the might appears in Album view.

If it’s what you were looking for…
