    Hi guys, i have suffered for the last few weeks with uploading from my S5 to the Box app (similar to drop box)

    I go into SD card but the only thing i can find is the whatsapp picture gallery, where is my own gallery in the file structure?

    Would all your photos be stored on the phone's storage rather than the SD card?

    That's the thing I don't actually have a SD card installed and I can't seem to find where the phone storage is

    Dcim? Im sure you checked this.
    Have you installed a file explorer or maybe upload them through wifi overnight?

    Are you looking on the phone or have you the phone connected to a PC.?

    Install ES File Explorer and see if there's an /mnt/SdCard or /sdcard folder appearing. Then as the previous poster said, look for a DCIM folder

    Hi...

    do you have the relatively new Photos App, without Gallery?

    You should be able to see your photos there.

    If need be, try ES File Manager:

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop


    and go to

    /sdcard/DCIM/Camera [or /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera]

    All your photos and vids should be there.

    You can set up Box or Dropbox, etc, within ES.....

    Go to side menu,

    tap on "Cloud"(under Network),

    tap + "new" on bottom menu

    and you will have the choice of many Cloud storage services, which you will need to enable with your credentials for whichever service you want to set up.

    You can then see all the contents of your Cloud storage like a folder, and move, copy etc.
