[bebebjorn]

First I want to thank you all for the contributions you make!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

• When using auto-uploads for pictures (or videos), subfolders are always included in the selected directory.
  This is a problems as my Android mobile stores local pictures in /DCIM/, /DCIM/Camera/, /DCIM/ScreenRecorder, /DCIM/Snapchat etc.
  I would love to be abe to upload the pictures from /DCIM/ and then select subfolders individually.
• I have been having problems where this (I think this is the reason) uploads duplicates on my nextcloud server.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

• An option in auto-upload settings "Do not upload content from subfolders"

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

• Another alternative option would be to skip any subfolders to be created in the remote folder when "use subfolders: year/month" option is selected.

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

• My auto-upload setting are:

  • Always select same remove folders (i.e my pictures for all pictures and my videos for all videos)
  • select "use subfolders: year/month"
  • select "Skip uploading" on the "What to do if the file already exists?"

• The result I see in my nextcloud is: /my pictures/2026/7/, /my pictures/2026/7/Camera, /my pictures/2026/7/Screenshots, /my pictures/2026/7/Snapchat

  • In this example, I would prefer all of those to go to the remote folder: /my pictures/2026/7/ and make use of the feature: "Skip uploading" on the "What to do i fthe file already exists?".

• Nextcloud Android app version 34.1.0

• Nextcloud Server is version 34.0.1 (on my way to upgrade to 34.0.2)

• Mobile on Android 16 security patch 2026-06-01

• These subfolders in the remote directory have been bothering me for a year or two, so nothing new.

Again thank you all and have a nice day!
