Where are my pictures stored?

,

when I connect my FP 5 to my MacBook via android file transfer I can see a folder called pictures. There I find the pictures taken with the FP camera. I want to transfer pictures from my MacBook directly to the FP but in which folder? There is a picture folder and a folder called DCIM.

On my partners FP 6 I tried to locate the pictures she downloaded via the google cloud but cannot seem to find them. Al it shows are camera, screenshots and pics from whatsapp and the likes.

Where does FP hide them?

Welcome to the Community Forum.

Photos taken with the phone are usually saved in DCIM.

Photos downloaded TO the phone might be in DOWNLOADS (unless you chose a different folder before starting the download).

Thanks for your response. When you use google to download the pictures from the cloud they are in downloads?

I am not using Google for these things (so I do not know if Google Cloud has special settings), but generally the DOWNLOADS folder is the standard destination of files downloaded to your phone.

you can use files app - like Google Files or some other - I have also downloaded File Manager from Fossify, to get the feeling where the stuff is located on your phone or search for it.

If you transfer from your laptop where do you store them then?

Actually I only transferred photos from my computer to the phone once. I put them in the DCIM folder so they are in the same place as other photos. But for most gallery apps it is irrelevant where the photos are – the gallery app will scan the whole phone storage (and SD card, if there is one) anyway.

I would just put them where I find them easily when necessary.
