I have Auto Backup enabled in Google Now for Photos. I also have Local Folders enabled so that photos produced by apps other than the camera get backed up too.
However, this then includes photos and videos from folders that I don't want to backup. The "Include Local Folders" seems to be an all or nothing option.
Is there a way to exclude folders individually?
I still want these folders to be recognised as media, just not backed up.
You should be able to select folder settings in the photos app. Per support.google:
You can choose to automatically back up your Android's photo and video folders, including photos you've downloaded, screenshots you've taken, or photos saved by other apps.
Turn setting on or off Open the Photos app > touch the menu icon/button > Settings > Auto Backup > check or uncheck Back up local folders
Turn on or off for individual folders Open the Photos app > touch the Photos menu icon at the top left > On Device > to the right of each folder title, toggle the cloud icon to turn Auto Backup on or off for that folder
local folders. Then you would be able to see the clouds in the on device screen
