I placed a .nomedia file into the root of my external storage and also set the root for Memories to my personal folder. Have you tried that?

Nextcloud also supports .noimage although the use is not very well documented anywhere really.

See:

As @vitis586 mentioned, you need to use a .nomedia file.
