Problems finding raw photos in Lightroom - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi All,
I'm struggling to find my .DNG files when I'm using Lightroom Mobile. I use the standard camera app to take the photos, and I know that the raw files are store in the phone's internal storage, but when i hit "add photos" in Lightroom, the only photos I see are jpegs from my SD card. Is there a browse function somewhere that I'm overlooking? Lightroom does have permissions to access storage as well.

So I found that moving the .DNG file from my internal storage to my SD card's camera folder allows Lightroom to detect the file, but does everyone else have to do this?

Viewing SDcard Pics in Album

Guys my HD doesnt recognize my photos form my diamond on my sd card in album - i can find them in pictures and videos but not in album. they are saved under my pictures - any advice please?
thanks
ok for anyone who wants to know -
change the settings on the camera to save to storage card. take a photo, you will then have a dcim file created in storage card - now transfer all your photos in here

Where are the camera pictures/videos stored

guys
i connected my android to my computer but in all directories like data, dcim, download, etc i don't see my camera pictures
I guess camera pictures are by default stored on the sd card and when i delete a video, i see space released in the sd card menu.
Thanks
Depends on what app yuo're using (which drives me INSANE! I wish devs would follow some sort of standard when saving to the sdcard)
Camera App saves to /dcim/camera
Video App save to /dcim/video
SnapPhoto saves to /dcim/camera/date
QuickCamera saves to /quick
That's all I've used.

default photo location

i have taken some photos on my HD2, with the default setting of storage card in the camera app, but i cant find the photos in file explorer.
does anyone know the folder as i need to upload them to my pc
on mine it's storagecard/DCIM/100Media (DCIM is a standard name for many cameras and phones, it means digital camera images)

Browsing Camera Photos via USB

I can attach my digital camera to the Iconia via USB, but it's hard to do anything with the photos on the camera's SD card. Using an app like Astro to explore the camera's card, you can see very small thumbnails of the pictures but cannot really browse the photos.
You can click on a single photo and it will display, but it does not fill the screen. You can't browse through the photos. Instead, you have to return to the list of files and click on the next photo in the list, and repeat that process for each image you want to view, instead of scrolling through the files on the SD card.
Also, I haven't found a way to copy pictures off of the camera's card onto the Iconia for a better viewing experience or to clear space off the camera's card.
I'm running HC 3.1 and thought it would come with an app that enabled better use of the USB host mode.
Does anybody know of a better app to view photos on a camera's SD card when it's connected via USB?

Disappearing .DNG files

Stock SM-G950W
I took some photos tonight with the Samsung Camera app in Pro mode. I have it set to Raw copies in settings (this produces DNG + JPG).
The Trash option is enable in Gallery.
I also have Google Photos installed on the device, so everything was uploaded.
I saw the .DNG raw files after I took the photos. I can confirm both JPG and DNG were produced.
DNG photo files include a small embedded JPG. On the free tier of Google Photos, it only uploads the embedded preview of the raw DNG file which is actually a small JPG.... stupid but whatever. Went into Google Photos after I took photos tonight and manually deleted the uploaded .DNG files because they're essentially oversized thumbnails in Google Photo.
I cannot find the original DNG files ANYWHERE on the device. I didn't delete them but they're gone. I can confirm they were taken because the thumbnail size JPG files uploaded to Google so I'm not making it up but I can't for the life of me find the full size raw files I shot. Any thoughts? Help?
