Libre Camera saves photos into shared DCIM storage like other camera apps, with capture options in app private storage. The split decides what needs copying on every phone you own.
Back up DCIM for memories; settings rebuild in seconds. This is the open source Libre Camera, unrelated to similarly named gallery apps. Scoped storage hides settings from file browsers on every phone, without exceptions.
