FWIW Google Photos does exactly this. It even scans your directories and pops up a prompt "Hey, I found a new folder with images, want me to back it up?". I really wonder how this will turn out...
- massivecali 8y agoIs there such thing as robot.txt for folders that could be implemented by programs/apps? There are plenty of things that create folders of thumbnails, ui/ux sprites, etc.
- Roujo 8y agoOn Android, you can put a file called ".nomedia" in those folders to achieve this.

- m-p-3 8y agoThey'll grant themselves an exception off course.
- Ajedi32 8y agoUnlikely, since I can't recall any instances of them granting one-off exceptions for their apps in the past. Do you have any evidence that that's the approach they plan to take here, or is this just a lazy accusation backed by nothing but cynicism?
- jimmaswell 8y agoI'm pretty sure they don't hold themselves to their own app store policies (and neither Apple to theirs) and I remember there being a flagrant example but I can't find a reference quickly googling it.
- zeusk 8y agoWhat else do you think their "PlaystoreFramework" is all about?
- heelix 8y agoI remember when google staged previews on a web page, then asked if I wanted to sync 'that' folder. Near panic until I realized it was not shared.
