Q: On my Android device, I would like to exclude some folders with image/video files from being displayed by apps that have access to the gallery. Can I do that?

A: You can. Using the file manager of your choice (I use Cx File Explorer, but you can use any one you prefer), go to the folder that contains the media files you don't want to be displayed by apps with access to the gallery. In that folder, create a blank file named .nomedia. That's it. That should do the trick.
