By the way, DCIM is the standard name for the folder that holds photographs, and is the standard for pretty much any device, whether smartphone or camera; it is short for “digital camera IMages.”

How do I find DCIM folder?

Subfolders in the DCIM directory let you organize your pictures and videos in the Android Gallery app. Right-click an empty spot in the DCIM folder in Windows Explorer, and click “New,” then “Folder.” Type a name for the folder, then drag pictures and videos into it.

Where are my pictures stored on my Android phone?

Photos taken on Camera (standard Android app) are stored on either a memory card or phone memory depending on the settings. The location of photos is always the same – it’s DCIM/Camera folder. The full path looks like this: /storage/emmc/DCIM – if the images are on phone memory.
