How can I find my phone's gallery folders in my computer's file explorer?

[Android Central Question]

Hi there,

I recently made a folder in my gallery app on my phone called 'Hiking February 2020'. I wanted to transfer the 32 pictures in the folder to my PC using a data cable. However, when my computer is connected with my phone, the folder name 'Hiking February 2020' doesn't show up in my phone's list of folders in my PC's file explorer. How can I find the folder 'Hiking February 2020' using my PC's file explorer?

I hope I made it clear,
-Mare.

Gallery app just finds media on your phone, it doesn't store anything. You need to look in your DCIM folder

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone, and which gallery app? Some gallery apps only create "virtual" folders, not physical folders in the phone's internal storage.

I have in the past discovered after much frustration that some charging cords do not contain the pins necessary for data transfer, (even though you can see the phone and some files....these cords work only for charging.
