Pictures saved to phone gallery are not synced with murena.io

Summary

When I save a picture from a text message to the phone gallery, the picture isn't synced with my murena.io account

The problem

Steps to reproduce

Receive a text message with a picture, save the picture to the Gallery, sync your murena.io account. The picture can't be located at murena.io, neither in photos, neither in files.

What is the current behavior?

The saved picture isn't visible in photos on murena.io. On the phone, the picture is located under /storage/emulated/0/Message/Media/filename

Apparently, based on this documentation, the Media folder is not synced with murena.io

What is the expected correct behavior?

The picture should be synced at murena.io

TBD: either in the main gallery, either under a new folder called 'Messages' to help the user understand the origin of the pic.

Solutions

Workaround

On the phone, move the picture from the Media folder to the Picture or Photo folder (NOT CUSTOMER FRIENDLY AT ALL)
