Google Drive – How to Exclude Specific Folders from Google Photos

google-drivegoogle-photos

Is it possible to have Google only include specific directories from my Drive within Google Photos? For instance, it's useful to include my folder of scanned photos but not my folder of desktop wallpapers.

Create a text file with the name .nomedia into the folder you want to hide from the Photos app. The file itself can remain empty.

You can use a File Manager app to create files.
