With Google, Flickr or other apps I can tell it which folders to upload from to the respective cloud, i see no feature like this within Plex, but think it would be a good feature to add, especially if someone sending you something in Messenger, WhatsApp, Email, etc, etc and you save it to your device, Plex should then be able to upload it directly to your server.

You configured your Plex photo library to monitor one or more folders for images. If you save a photo to a folder that is monitored by your photo library, it will be picked up, either during the automatic, overnight update (if enabled), or when you manually update the library.
