What is a free and preferably open-source way to automatically move files from one folder to another on android?

My case: Basically my Camera app doesn’t allow for me to set where to store the captured photos, so I have to move them each time. How can I automate this?

I want to make all files that appear in one folder, (/DCIM/Photography_Pro/) moved to (/DCIM/Camera/).

Solved by suggested app in comments; Media Merger on fdroid!

    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.

        You’d have to run them in termux, I misread your post. Sorry about that, I mistook it to be about Linux.
