OneDrive App Camera Roll issue

Hi. I got a new Samsung S22 Ultra phone in December. Previously I had been using a Google Pixel. On my Pixel, the photos I took on my phone would upload (or is sync the right word?) to a file in OneDrive called "Camera Roll". I was going to download some photos onto my PC yesterday and noticed none of my new pictures are in the Camera Roll file on my PC (or on my camera roll on my phone). I have discovered they are going to a different file in OneDrive called "Samsung Gallery". Although, oddly, pics from WhatsApp and screenshots are going to Camera Roll. I'd prefer them to go to Camera Roll file instead. Is there a way to change the file they go to in the OneDrive app? I guess if it can't be changed I'll just have to get used to going to a different folder to download my pics to my PC.

    Hello, Sandra Nelson1

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    May I know if you've enabled Categorize in sub-folders in Settings > Camera upload > Organize by source? If you turn on Categorize in sub-folders in Settings in OneDrive Android app, new uploads will be added to sub-folders by sources, instead of Camera Roll.

    And I'd like also to know if Samsung Gallery is one of the sub-folders in your device.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Best regards
