Where the GrapheneOS Camera app saves photos and settings on Android for backup and full moves.
Last updated
GrapheneOS Camera saves photos and videos into shared DCIM storage like other camera apps, with capture options in app private storage. The split decides what needs copying on every phone.
Back up DCIM for memories; settings rebuild in seconds. This is the camera app, unrelated to the GrapheneOS backup feature despite the shared name. Scoped storage hides settings from file browsers on every phone.
Where GrapheneOS Camera stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/DCIM
Photos in shared DCIM with settings private. Back up DCIM for memories. Not the OS backup system; different storage entirely.
