    Welcome to the Community, Dante1_66! 

     

    Unfortunately, as you also mentioned, it’s not possible to do this automatically; since all photos/videos will be uploaded in bulk within the “camera uploads” folder, you’ll need to manually transfer them to another folder/organize them after that. 

     

    If you need something else though, I'll be happy to help.

    How about using an automation that moves files from Camera Uploads to specific folders I set in the automation?
