Ah, I don't know how to do that. How would you go about it ?
I was speaking in general terms. Cloud storage is one solution. You photos are usually automatically uploaded. The most convenient solution for Android is probably Google Photos.
I use Syncthing, which can be setup on the Camera folder and only enabled when on wifi and power. Every night, my new photos are uploaded to a file server at home and then spread to all other devices.
Syncthing can also be setup to remove files from any device, just like how Dropbox and other such cloud storage services work. You can use this to keep the phone clean by moving the files out of the synced Camera folder on any other device. In my case, I also have a way larger Photos folder which will only sync to devices with more storage.
When the phone storage is staring to fill, I clean up/edit the new photos in the Camera folder - on a desktop computer - and then move them over.
Don't forget to also backup your files! If you make a mistake on one device, you may wipe the files on all devices ๐ฑ
I will look into Syncthing thank you. Yes I have twice-redundant backups for my work already so I will do the same for this. I need to take a weekend at some point to set this up. Cheers !!
