P: (android): Choose which folders to Auto Add new photos

This is for me also a first thing which came in question when taking the Lightroom Mobile app into use. This is really a must feature since all apps (Instagram, Whatsapp etc.) nowadays save tons of photos to your phone. It's very bad usability if you cannot specify folders which you would like to import. Also, I would like to import RAW images and jpegs to different folder since the raw ones needs additional touching up before they can be utilized. The RAW folder would then work as a tasklist from where the photos are then exported to the camera roll folder after touching up those.

Very important feature which I really would like to see in the next update! I'm on trial and as said I noticed the miss of this right away after taking the app into use. I'm not sure whether I want to continue after trial if there's not commitment on bringing this feature as soon as possible.

@adobe, If you want to take professionals seriously, among the top concerns must be the ability to organize and customize workflow. At the very top of my list of processes is to have a specific location for my professional work and to keep it separate from my personal work.
The inability to target a specific folder on my phone from which I want Lightroom to pull images seems almost like an oversight and borderline a privacy concern. To the point I've considered an entirely separate device just to avoid this issue. The more I move to a mobile work environment, the more I need my mobile devices to afford me the control over content and distribution. If you want me to use your platform (And I want to real bad) I need to be able to control my content. Which means making it less than a headache to import the pictures I want to edit.
Bonus points, if you someday can interface with my cameras to automatically import my RAW photos when I turn off my camera and then automatically add them to a mobile lightroom album, it will be the best thing to happen to my photography in a decade.

Also just started using Lightroom and can't believe you can't pick which folders are uploaded. Not impressed this has been an outstanding issue for so long either.

Looking at alternatives

Just started to use Lightroom and it really baffles me, that this is something not sorted out already. You should be able to only synch your camera folder.

All the junk from Whatsapp etc. will get uploaded to your online storage...

It even syncs pics from ".nomedia" folders and private mode folders (Samsung).
So please consider to add folder selection support or at least to look at .nomedia files for ignoring sync.

Every time you receive a picture in any messenger, take a screenshot or anything, you have to launch Lightroom, wait for them to import and sync and then delete them. It may sound super ridiculous but it is actually much easier and faster then waiting for Adobe to fix this already. After a year of ignoring this issue you get used to it. 

I don't understand how this still isn't supported. I just went to import photos on my Android and Lightroom wanted to add photos from my messenger apps, podcasts, and pics edited locally on the device. Rediculous. I just want it to import the photos and videos in the folders my Camera uses!

Agreed, this is frustrating to a lot of us. We need more people from the community commenting on this thread

Not yet, right now it will grab ALL images from all locations of the phone

Not yet, I hope someone see's this soon from adobe and addresses it. Almost every other photo app I use has this feature. 

This is one of the major reasons I am not ALL in on using adobe as my cloud solution for pictures
