Gallery Photos Disappeared

[AC Question]

My gallery photos disappeared suddenly. I located them in the Samsung app "My Files" in a folder DCIM, however I cannot use them, share or copy from that location.

Hi, did you delete them? were they stored on an SD card? have you installed Google Photos and backed the images up? what happens if you connect the phone to a PC, can you open the images in the DCIM folder then?
