### Steps to reproduce

1. Configure auto upload to upload the photos to a specific remote folder, in my case `/Fotos/`
2. Auto upload worked fine in versions < 3.26.0, the photos were uploaded directly to that remote folder.
3. After upgrading to 3.26.0, the uploads fail with many notifications "Server not found".
4. Looking at the web server logs, I can see it's trying to upload them to the subfolder `/Fotos/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/camera/`, which doesn't exist and returns a 404:
