Description
Returns the path to the directory where user shared pictures taken with a camera are stored.
- Note: In desktop applications, "shared" means "shared between different users". In mobile applications, "shared" means "shared between different applications".
If the system running your application does not support the requested folder, or if the requested folder does not exist in the system, this function returns an empty string instead.
This function works the same as GetPicturesPath except for the Android platform, where it returns the path to the folder where Android stores photos and videos taken with the device camera.
- On Windows and Android, it points to a system-wide directory.
- On OS X, it points to a user-specific, application-agnostic directory.
- On iOS Device, it returns an empty string as this directory is currently not supported.
- On iOS Simulator, it points to an application-specific directory.
