Onedrive and Android

Does anyone here use Onedrive as the backup location from their Android device. I moved to Android a few months ago and have been using this as my backup option. I've reached the point where I want to clear out the phone from pics/videos to create space, but I came across a weird problem.

For my PC Onedrive backup I've created sub-directories which live under "Files" in my Onedrive account when I log into it on a browser. Anything I put into the Onedrive directory on PC or laptop syncs across both devices and online. However, my Android uploads appear in a different directory called "Photos" online. I can't for the life of me figure how to make this automatically synch back with my PCs. I've googled and also gone through the settings on the PC multiple times. I have it set up to download anything it finds online, yet it ignores this "Photos" directory.

Any ideas!?
