Make a folder.
Give it a name and a color: Kids, Work, Travel, Receipts. Each folder is its own camera.
Camera folders for Android
Sorted before you shoot.
Make camera folders like Family, Work, Gym or Receipts. Tap one and the camera opens — every photo and video is saved straight to the right place. No sorting afterwards.

How to save photos to a specific folder — at the moment you take them
2
Put it on your home screen.
Tap the gear on any folder, then Add to home screen. Or long-press the CamNest app icon to jump straight to a folder.
3
Tap. Shoot. Filed.
The shortcut opens the camera. The photo is filed the moment you take it — there is nothing left to tidy up.
Free with 2 folders
Built for how you shoot
One folder for each thing you photograph. A few ways to set it up:
-
Bakken 12 – Bathroom
Projects and trades
Make a folder per job and tap it on site: the before, the progress and the finished work land together, ready for the report or the invoice.
-
Work
Work and office
Whiteboards, slides and delivery notes go into Work the moment you snap them, not into the same roll as your weekend.
-
My Kids
Parents and family
Tap My Kids or Family and shoot. The good ones are already in one place when the grandparents ask.
-
Receipts
Receipts and paperwork
Photograph a receipt or a letter straight into Receipts, so expenses and tax time start with one folder instead of a search.
-
Workout
Training
Progress photos and the gym whiteboard stay in Workout, easy to swipe back through week by week.
-
Travel
Trips
Start a folder before you leave and every shot from the trip is its own album when you get home.
