So this has only happened twice so far (yesterday and today). But I took a photo, then I went to upload it to Facebook and it wasn't showing in the Samsung Gallery. So I went back to the Camera, and it was showing in the little preview photo in the bottom right corner, but if I clicked on that it would take me to the previous photo I took. Then if I reopened the camera, that photo didn't show up anymore in the preview pain.
The only thing I've done recently is put in a new 128 gig microsd card. Could the card be bad? or could this be a fluke (I did just reboot) so will see if it happens again.
Probably a corrupted sdcard...
Accidentally liked.
I have encountered the same. Photos in Samsung S7 disappear randomly and they all stored in SD card. I can see some filename with control code (like garbage) and change to 0 byte in File Manager (HD) but can't see them when connect the phone to PC. Suspect the disappear photos in SD card are corrupted and renamed into garbage file that's why I saw them in File Manager (HD).
Just change the default storage from SD card to Device storage to see it can resolved or not.

I noticed that after I installed the R2A Rom, that the media panel is more streamlined and cleaner when it comes to pics. However it only shows pics on the device and not the storage card. Is there anyway to change this?
Just checked mine and it shows pics on my sd card... but I changed my pics location to sd via auto config, not sure if that has anything to do with it...

Whats "auto config?"
Weird
My photos are all on my card, I know that because my phone has been hard reset 3 or 4 times in the last day.
However, after giving the media panel a couple of minutes to detect all my images, the ones from my card are all there. Infact even the images from the phone are there, but they show at the END of my memory card images.
I am running GENERIC_UK R2AA_10, however behaviour has always been the same for me since R1AA.
Auto config is a fantastic tweaking app by a chap called Schaps... (sorry about the terrible rhymying it just came out that way...) its latest version is 3.3 and can be found on the board somewhere...
I solved this problem in this way:
My picas folder is StorageSD\Pictures
So i replace "DCIM" key with "Pictures" (not "StorageSD\Pictures" !!!) in system registry.
(something about "EXTERNAL_STORAGE_FOLDER" or like)
After that all picas become viewable thru MediaPanel
On R1A rom mine displays storage card files too.
Recently my camera app randomly stop saving photos.
It shows and act like photo is saved, but when click on thumbnail in camera app, fails to load the photo, infact, photo never saved.
so basically:
IF I choose SD Card as storage, I will see an error saying failed to save into SD Card, changing to device storage ( however image is not in device storage too )
IF I choose Device as storage, It will act like everything went smoothly and successfully, but when I try to open photo, it fails.
This problem come and go away randomly, making it harder to fix. I have lost many valuable photos because I thought it saved them successfully.
I figured out that I can have my photo saved in my device, If I press power+home button, to take screenshot, but that will include camera controls as well!
Recently installed a custom ROM hoping for this problem to go away, but it happened again.
Any idea why this problem is happening?
When I ran out of space in my device I had to change my storage to storage card. Since then I've lost a bunch of pictures I can see them right after I've taken the picture but I can't find them later in the picture gallery

If you are rooted you can give this a shot.

Gallery will have two Camera folders, one for internal & one for external, atleast thats the way it is on 4.2.2 MF9.
Have you used a file manager to see if the pictures are there & gallery just isn't updating? Could your MicroSD card to your computer to see if the files are there. Would be in DCIM\Camera in SDCard(built in storage) & extSdCard (actual MicroSD Card), long paths are /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera & /storage/extSdCard/DCIM/Camera respectively.
I found this folder. But the missing pics aren't there
So I switched back to camera for a function. But now I am out of space. When I move the pictures and movies to my sd card the gallery reads them as corrupted. What is wrong?

This didn't work.
Why isn't there much response to this?
It may not be the same cause, but a similar symptom happened on mine. I found out in a roundabout way that my 64GB SanDisk microSD is shot. The card is stuck in readonly mode. It reads fine but cannot write, and the ROM just didn't complain about it and shows stuff from short term cache. Amazon reviews and forum posting showed that there are other owners of the 64GB SanDisk microSD with the same issues, and it was due to the controller going bad.
Plug your microSD to a computer. If you can create a folder on it, then your microSD is still good and the problem is elsewhere. Good luck!
I bought the Aquos (reluctantly) a couple of weeks ago and am not overall impressed, but am stuck with it for now...so am dealing.
But I have having major anxiety (OK, maybe just major annoyance) about the storage issue. I have a 64gb card attached and it is fairly useless. I can't move apps over since the firmware doesn't support app2sd (i think that is what i saw one Dev put on their site).
OK, so I downloaded ES File Explorer and I can move things between the device storage and the SD card easy enough, but as soon as I move images - the gallery won't show them anymore.. They are there... I can navigate to them from apps... But just not the gallery.
In my gallery you can see folders i moved onto the card via taking the card our and putting it in a reader. So I know the gallery 'sees' the card.
I have even moved and/or saved a file into one of the folders on the card that is already showing... And they don't show in the gallery.
Is anyone else having this issue? Or is this maybe just my phone.. (I have tried 2 different SD cards, a 32gb and the 64gb and get the same results)

I have used ES File Explorer for years and haven't had this issue, even on the Crystal...
Are they images that other Image Browsers can view also? If the Gallery app is set to default, clear it, and try viewing the photos with ES, Google Photos, or other apps when it prompts you to choose an app to display the pic.
If that fails, try formatting the card through the phone and moving the photos again.
I use quickpic always an it always registers when I move anything over through es.
Always is a loaded word... If it always worked then why isn't It still working?
Before you give up on this phone I think you should try my above post or something else. Instead of factory resetting the phone as a last resort I think you should do so anyways to see if that will fix the freezes you've been having.
My personal opinion is that you should see if your problems go away by trying X (whatever that might be). My philosophy is that if something is broken I try and fix it. If I can fix it I'll be cautious to not repeat the initial problem. If I can't, whether it's not worth fixing after evaluation or too expensive to do so, I can have a clear-ish conscious towards disposing of it. In the end this is my opinion and you can do whatever you want with your stuff.
Well in the past 4 years quickpic is THE ONLY gallery app I'll use. ES and Quickpic are the first 2 things I install on any new ROM and phone. As far as always goes I just said that because I have never had an issue with it or es.
I don't know what to tell you...
I too use ES as my file manager and previously used that to transfer most of my images to my SD card. After I installed Quickpic I was able to view all the images I transferred to my SD card.
Gallery image fail
format your sd card on a pc then reinsert it into your phone it should work then.

I had this same problem and with ES files. Look through you're files and if you find files " .nomedia " delete them . I still don't know how the .nomedia files got on my phone but soon as I deleted them all my photos in Gallery showed back up. No more problems with photos.
Back last February I had a problem with files named
.nomedia and they caused problems with my photos stored on my phone. After I realized it was nomedia files causing the problem I deleted all nomedia files and all was good until last week. Now the nomedia files are showing up again. I delete them only to have the nomedia files return. Delete the file and it shows back up in a different place,in a different file. It's always someplace on my SD Card and I can't get rid of it.
I'm not sure what to do?

Hey Guys,
I just received my S7 Edge Yesterday. I am using a 128GB Evo Sd card. Formatted it on the S7 edge.
I made some pictures with the phone. Storage : sd card.
I even looked in my galery and the pictures were oke.
After some hours i saw that some pictures were with half grey boxes and some had some crash-lookalike burns .
I formatted the sd card again. And still the same thing happens
Even did a camera reset and i did reset the S7 edge.
I dont know what the problem is. Need some help with this.
In the phone dialer type *#0*# and test the camera, including taking a photo. If the same happens again in there it's likely a hardware issue with the camera.

Have you tried a different memory card as well? The half gray is also a common problem with files writing to memory. It doesn't fully write, half they data is not there. I'd try another card too.

Might be bad sd card. Try save the picture to internal storage and see whether it did the same thing.

Thanks for the tips and advice. Ill try to save the pictures on the internal sd and see what happens.

How I fixed greyed out photo
Bring greyed out photo from gallery. Select the little icon on upper right hand side and quickly pick the photo, quickly select Capture once. If you pick more than once you get another photo on your gallery. Refresh your gallery and look for your photo. If it's okay you can no delete the old photo. Thanks
I'm having this same issue. I just got a new S7 and transferred all my photos over on my SD card. There were a few random photos that were mostly grayed out with a little bar of the original photo showing. It happened again just now with a photo I took with the S7, though the gray bar was smaller and only covering the bottom of the photo. There appears to be no way of recovering the original photo - not very happy about that. I'll try using device storage for future photos.
I'm experiencing the same issue of arbitrary half gray photos on my S7, but usually after some time goes by after they're taken. I do think it's related to some read/write issue with my SD card but I haven't exactly nailed it down yet.
A workaround is to set your camera to save photos to your device, then sync your photos to a Google Drive folder by going to "Settings" within the Google Drive menu, and turn on "Auto Add". Additionally, if device storage is at a minimum, I then suggest deleting any locally stored copies of all photos once you're satisfied they've been backed up.
