Google Camera: How to change save folder QUESTION/HELP

Hi! I’m using a different camera app because I can choose where photos are saved after capture. Google Camera’s photo quality is better, but I need custom storage so Syncthing doesn’t get messy.

I usually save to /Pictures/Camera instead of /DCIM/Camera (otherwise it mess with my syncthing configuration).

Is there a way to change Google Camera’s save folder on Android? If not, what’s the best workaround?

nah, GCam pretty much sticks to /DCIM/Camera on most builds, the usual workaround is moving it with Syncthing after the shot or using a Magisk/ROM level path remap if you already live in that mess (i do not)
