Expected behaviour

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the iOS app by manually selecting a photo with the Auto upload folder and subfolders options enabled. Trace the upload destination and subfolder handling from that flow; done means the image is placed at /Photos/2025/01 rather than repeatedly appending the year and month.
