[Locker] Migrate photos from Ente Photos to Locker

[crKRoEYS]

I have photos in Ente Photos that I would like to organize by category rather than chronological order. It appears that subfolders are not available in Ente Photos. Therefore, I would like to migrate them to Locker.

I can't find a way to do this in the app or in the documentation, and Locker doesn't appear in the app selection when I share the photos from Photos in order to get them from Photos into Locker.

So it would be nice if there were direct ways to do this without having to download the photos to the local device first in order to add them to Locker.

Yes for now there is no way to directly transfer files from photos app to locker but curious to know why you would want to move to locker as the file and storage limit are less compare to photos app.

I have images that are not photos or memories, but rather informative screenshots or photos, for example. I need these organised by topic or category rather than chronologically. In principle, you also mention this in the FAQs:

"Key difference: Locker is for documents you need to find and access by category. Photos is for memories you browse chronologically."

Yes now it's more clear. And yes now it makes more sense to have this feature. Will add this to our roadmap for locker.
