S3Drive - Android media backup - custom upload path

Hi there! I am trialing S3drive with Backblaze B2 on Windows and Android trying to make my own cloud solution for the family. On Android I enabled 'Backup when app starts' for an album with one file in it, closed then reopened S3drive and it uploaded the file just fine. However looking at the automatically created path it does not seem to me that this will work for multiple users as everyone's albums will end up in the same place especially considering the use of the same phones and the 'camera' album being the default album for everyone. The current path is "Automatic upload/SM-916U/<album name>". I don't understand the need of having the phone type in the path but it's not a big issue. However if that or the "Automatic upload" part could be user configurable then multiple people could upload to the same cloud space without having everyone's photos end up in the same folder. Or is there a way to do this already that I am just not seeing? Thanks!

Hi @Kaz, Thanks for your feedback. Phone model derived sub-folder was partially addressing this issue, as it's unlikely you will end up uploading from two exact phones to the same location. Regardless, it is possible to configure custom auto-upload path, please go to your Profile Settings and find Backup section. This setting will be moved to Media backup in the future. I hope that helps! I would certainly appreciate your feedback regarding how your trial goes. Good luck! (edited)
