So in my Redmi Note 7 Pro, the screenshots and screen recordings all go in a subfolder inside DCIM folder. Photos (app by Google) simply uploads everything in the DCIM folder. I have tried this, but it did not work (hence asking a new question).

You should be able to configure the folders you want to sync: androidcentral.com/how-set-google-photos– RobertApr 7, 2019 at 16:41

It doesn't contain DCIM folder (and DCIM subfolders).– Reeshabh RanjanApr 7, 2019 at 16:55

There seems to be no clear solution to this.
I have had to manually move the sub folders within DCIM to outside the DCIM folder using a file explorer so that I can later individually choose which folders should get backed up in Google Photos.
- Settings
- Backup & Restore
- Select Account
- Unselect Sync Photos
Now in each app...
Open Photos ( The app by Google )
Go into settings
locate sync or Save Storage features
Disable sync
Look around for any other apps using synchronization and disable it...
I think Google Drive does this for Photos as well as other apps.
