Hi everyone,

In Lightroom Mobile, is there a way target a specific folder  for auto import/upload.  At present Lightroom uploading everything from screenshots to downloaded images and I only want it to upload the photos I have taken from my camera roll. Any help will be appreciated.

I am running the latest version of LR Mobile on a Galaxy S8+.  Thank you in advance.

      Lightroom mobile can automatically add new photos that appear in the Camera Roll, the specific album on an iOS device where photos you capture or import are stored.

      In Lightroom mobile, tap the Add button to create a new collection on the iPad or iPhone, and name it something like Mobile Photos. Next, tap the ellipsis button (…) to view options for that collection, and then tap Enable Auto Import (see Figure 1). The next time you shoot photos with your device’s camera and then open Lightroom mobile, the new shots appear in the collection and are synced to Lightroom desktop.

      Has anyone figured out how to do this yet?  Every photo that goes through facebook, messenger, camera, etc is automatically uploaded to lightroom.  As the original question asks, how can it be limited to a single folder??  I don't need every picture that comes across every app on my phone uploaded to lightroom.  I only want to auto upload the camera roll folder.

      There is a setting in LR mobile to either upload or not, Auto Add I think it is. Turn that off then you will have to manually add images to LR that will be uploaded to the web system and down to LR on your desktop computer.
