    This video is genius- wasted about 4 hours trying to find the DCIM - all we needed to do was wait. Thanks!

    Thanks for the tip about simply waiting for the folder to appear, no other video I found suggested that time might be the issue, took about 30 seconds before the folder showed up, you're a lifesaver!

      This. Exactly this. I was so irritated trying to find a way to do this n getting pissed at Apple for no reason lol. Was just me expecting things to be almost instant in 2022.

    Nice try, but no dice. Connection and photo file copy used to work with this PC and phone. I don't even get the DCIM folder under "Internal storage". I didn't get the "trust this computer" re-prompt after reset, re-connect the cable, or even after a re-start. iCloud photos is (and always has been) disabled. It recently updated to iOS 14.7.1 and, being a work phone, has MobileIron security app installed (though this hasn't changed recently).

    • @EdRandall66
