On Android the value can only be 'shared' or 'private', other values are ignored. The value 'shared' specifies Android shared storage 'DCIM/<appname>' (this is also the default). The value 'private' specifies app local storage 'app_storage_path()/DCIM'. If you want a different location use 'private' and move the resulting file based on the path provided by filepath_callback.

Note that it is a characteristic of Android >= 10 shared storage that a second capture with a same subdir and name values as the first, will not overwrite the first. It will create a second file named '<subdir>/<name> (1).jpg', the name is created by Android MediaStore. The MediaStore may crash if it creates too many (31 ?) such names.
