Accessing photos on Android devices

EmilyBartee2 — Wed, 08 Nov 2017 18:22:24 GMT

Is there a fix or solution to attaching photos from the photo gallery on an android device?

I found this question already although the answer implied device specific issues (https://community.esri.com/message/720185-re-image-selection-in-survey123-app?commentID=720185#comment-720185 ). I've seen this on multiple android devices - the application pulls from a folder that is not the DCIM and after diligently searching through folders to find the DCIM, the camera gallery images are in reverse chronological order. Is there a fix for this or recommended course of action?

I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks!!
