Cannot see photos from a Droid, on a PC
I have a Motorola Droid and I am unable to see the 80 photos from a computer connection, that show up in the Gallery on the phone. I connect the phone to my PC. "XT1080" shows up as a drive. I click in to Internal Storage, and there are several folders there - Facebook, Camera, DCIM. All 3 show as "empty". yet there are 80 photos on the phone. What's going on?

ok - so when I watch it, it only says "Connected as camera" along the top, for a few seconds. so its only connecting as a camera then, it seems?

ahh - I scrolled down and it then allows me to select MTP mode. I think this might be it....
Yes.
You need to manually click the USB mode to change it.

the DCIM Camera folder is empty. perhaps the files are somewhere else?

I found them. the user has all his pictures in his DOWNLOAD folder. I'm good! thanks for your help
If MTP USB mode is enabled, you will see an icon for your Android phone in Windows Explorer.
On clicking the icon, there are two icons, one for internal storage and the other one is SD card.
Click the SD card icon and there is a DCIM folder also.

It means the photos are not taken from the camera of the Android phone.
Glad to know you have solved the problem.
Cheers!
