So was just looking at the the camera upload feature today. I like all my photos to be in a base folder, eg iphone but then split by year and/or month. The photo taken date is what is used, it’s be great if plex could do it also, perhaps with some user customisation, ie allow the user to create the destination specification rather than just a preselected list (although that’s a good start). Something like Library Base Folder YYYY\YYYY-MM Or another user might like Library Base Folder YYYY-MM-DD ---

Yes I agree!! I currently use EXIFTOOL to sort my pictures into YYYY\Month\MM-DD-YY folders… It would be great for the plex auto upload to sort the pictures into folders during the upload. ---
