Hi, I just got a Razer Maxx with ICS. I have been moving my movies and music from my Droid X to the Razr. I jack both phones into the USB ports on my Mac and just copy over. That was easy until I got to my photos. My droid X had a DCIM folder and my camera photos were stored inside a Camera folder within DCIM. But on the Razr, there is no camera folder within the DCIM folder. I'm browsing with Astro. If I use My Files to view the SD Card, the Camera folder is there, but I'm not sure if it's on the card or internal memory. And I have a program that backs up to the SD card, but according to My Files, the backup is in the internal storage.

Can someone explain the file directory to me, and what is "Lost Directory"? Thanks.

Internal drive \DCIM\camera

You can make our own directory "Photos" (any name) and the Photo Gallery app will find them.

Mine have always been on my external SD card... in the dcim\Camera folder... if the folders don't exist I'd make them.

I have a Nexus and I think you have to actually take a picture with the camera first for the camera folder to show. That's what I had to do after I did a factory reset on my Nexus and was transferring my pictures back over to the phone.

Mine too for photos. The internal was my default for screenshots though.
