Run rsync regularly using cron.
Using rsync is pretty easy, just remember to keep a forward slash at the end of the source and destination.

Is this run with termux or something?
Oh crap, I thought this was Linux.
Yeah, you'd need to use termux but they should work the same.
lol no worries, thanks!
oh okay, will look into termux too then
Thanks, I'll look into this!
You'd have to run them in termux, I misread your post. Sorry about that, I mistook it to be about Linux.
You are looking for Media Merger. Hasn't been updated in two years (atleast the FDroid version) but may be worth a try.
This is EXACTLY the app I need and fulfills my needs, ~~it doesn't seem to actually work anymore~~.
Edit; The app wasn't able to assign itself permission, even when prompting for it. However, after assigning the correct permissions manually this works flawlessly now! Can even assign other folders and point it to my camera folder. SUPER!
Could this be done with SyncThing?
It would be good if possible as I already use SyncThing. But I dont think so?
I think FolderSync can do folder to folder
I use it for backing up to Drive, but it looks like it should work folder to folder.
Not sure if it's the best option though
I looked at foldersync, but the free version seemed a bit limited and said it had ads.
Ah yep, I think I had the pro version in that case
Hopefully others suggest similar apps. It seems like a simple task
I use Termux + Tasker for this exact functionality. I can provide the scripts and setup to anyone who's interested.
