Hello

Assuming that I have some external memory installed, how can I move the location where my Samsung Camera app stores all my new photographs & videos?

Thanks

J


PS Much though I hate using Microsoft, out of desperation, I am trying to move my photos & videos into OneDrive.

Since the phone doesn't have a permanent external storage option, this has been removed from the stock app. There may be 3rd party camera apps that allow you to select storage path for a temporarily-plugged-in drive, but not sure. You could try automation apps like Tasker to automatically move files from the Camera folder to another one of your choosing, however. As for OneDrive or Google Drive, if you activate the photo backup option, they automatically grab pictures from the default folder and create a cloud back up as per your selected options.
 
Excluding an SD card to my knowledge you've never been able to save to external storage with Samsungs camera app, even as far back as the S7 they've limited which shooting modes could save to the SD card because they are horrendously slow and would negatively impact shooting performance and quality.

Since they removed the SD card, it's internal storage only.
