How do I exclude folders from appearing in the Photo Gallery of onedrive Android?
The photo gallery of onedrive Android is showing all photos in my onedrive. I believe the Photo Gallery should limit to only the photos in the Pictures folder, same as the online version, but this is not what is happening.
This means it is showing a lot unwanted pics by default in the photo gallery, such as wallpapers, documents pics or even private medical photos that should never appear in the default photo gallery.
Yes, there is a filter in the Photo Gallery to only show "Pictures folders", and this works. However the filter is not sticky, this means every time I open the app it reverts back to show everything, so if I have people around when I open the Photo Gallery, I never know what private photos are going to show up.
I have tried using the ".nomedia" file to exclude folders, but no luck.

Well, if could get that you're using a different version of the app
Or, maybe, you gave an iphone version, in that case it could significantly differ
Mb try to update the app if you're using Android
Not true, at least not anymore, these options do not exist, yes Me is there, and Settings, but that's it!
> go to your onedrive app
> Choose photos tab
> Select 'pictures folder' filter
It should only show you the pictures that you have in your 'pictures' folder across all devices
So...how?
Within an Android app you can actually choose to only show photos from "pictures" folder.
The issue is that it will show all photos from the "pictures" folder on your OneDrive acc, not only 'Camera Roll', which is a very questionable decision considering the tab in an Android app is called "Photos", but still better than showing all files with image extension you have within your onedrive
