I revelled this when I saw similar amount photos in both internal/external SD cards when browsing the photos in the gallery. I checked the settings of the camera and it is set to external storage (I couldn’t recalled that I have made this change so maybe it is by default).
Checked the time stamp of the photos in both cards and they look being saved to these destination folders randomly. Did anyone encounter the same problem or any suggestion? Thanks.
Hi
Quick question, are the photos listed in the camera folder and the dropbox folder?

The same happens to me, even pictures taken with seconds of difference are stored in different locations/folders. I am using stock camera app and still did not take the time to investigate the reason of this strange behaviour. Will check later.

HI
Are the pictures in two separte folders in the gallery ie camera & dropbox?, or are you looking at them via a folder explorer?

Hi, they are in two folders, one of them called "camera" and located in external Sd and another called "cámara" (camera in spanish) and located in internal Sd.

Single shots are stored on the sd card assuming that's what you configured.
Burst shots are stored on internal memory.
So are you taking single or doing burst?

That sounds the most plausible explanation

I use advanced config to change location. You can change it to save camera shots in either the Dcim or My pictures and then tell it where to save, either Phone or storage card. Do you need 2 copies or just a different location other than dcim?
I like to have to copies at the same time at different places.
Seems there is no solution for my request?!?

Where is it located if it's not in your SD?
The default camera application (and most other camera applications that I know of) utilize a folder on the SD card, usually DCIM. If you're using a different application that allows for storage elsewhere, then check out the settings to see where it is storing the pictures.
By default, however, all images that are taken are stored on the SD card.

Download romtoolbox and go into root browser. Transfer pics from internel folder to SD. Use USB to computer as you normally would

Was looking through my file manager to see what is taking up internal space. Noticed that:
/media/cloudagent/cache/root/
contains my Drop Box images at full resolution.
So now that's not really a "cloud" is it? WTF? Currently occupies 2 gigs of space. I was hoping to store images on DropBox to save space. Not mirror it as a backup.
Or am I doing it wrong somehow?
Thanks.

I have had the same problem.
Do you have Dropbox installed with CAMERA UPLOAD Turn on (in Dropbox settings) and also Pictures and Video Sync enable in Settings->Cloud->Pictures and ->Videos in the phone?
To solve this I have disable Settings->Cloud->Pictures and ->Videos in the phone, this avoid you to have a copy of the pictures you have in Dropbox under the folder "Camera Uploads" in local in your phone in storage/sdcard0/cloudagent/cache/root/Camera Uploads.
I have also left the Dropbox CAMERA UPLOAD Turn on, in this way each time I do a picture it is storage in the external card of the phone (in my case) and it is uploaded to Dropbox but it don't left another copy in storage/sdcard0/cloudagent/cache/root/Camera Uploads
Hope this help you.
If my english is not good enough, I can try to explain it in other manner.
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II. I just tried going into my gallery while mounting my phone to save pictures on my laptop. I go into the phone (not SD Card), then "DCIM", and finally "Camera" folder. Now I have two "Camera" folders in my gallery on my phone, one with about 48 images in it and the other with over 1000 photos which is where all my photos are automatically saved to when I take new photos. The folder labeled "Camera" only shows me the 48 photos I don't need, but the one with over 1000 photos is nowhere to be found! All other folders there don't show the photos I'm looking for. What should I do?
I also cannot find the folder called "downloads" that contains all images I saved from text messages people sent me. If you need any other info, please let me know.
Additional information is that in my gallery, there is an icon showing that the photos are being saved to the SD card (the Camera folder) but when I look in the folder in my SD card, it shows the photos I took with my old phone, not the ones I am taking now. The "downloads" folder I'm talking about isn't in the DCIM folder at all, and it doesn't have an SD Card icon on it so it should be in the phone. But the "downloads" folder doesn't show me the images I saved from text messages I received from friends it only shows the images and other things I've downloaded on my browser.
Thanks in advance!
I've resolved the problem, thank you! I was wondering if someone could delete this thread? I am unable to do it myself. Thank you!

Hey guys. I need a little help. I lost a picture on my phone as it got corupt. I did use the picture as a background on the messages app and it still shows when I text. Does anybody know where this picture is stored so as I can get it and save it. I would love to get it for my new S5 before I do a restore on my S3. Is there any program that would scan my S3 for pictures.
Thanks .

If it isn't showing up in the gallery, you'll need to know the name of it to find it. I would start with going to the My Files app and manually looking through the camera and downloads folders. The location will depend on how you put the picture on the phone originally. Did you take the picture with the camera on the phone? Did you download it from a website? Did it come from an app? Need to know that first.

Hey Thanks for the reply jack man.
I don't know the name of the picture. When you add the picture as a background in messages you have to crop it and then it saves it and it shows up in the picture selection for back grounds in messages. Its that location that i am looking for.
On a good note i did use titanium backup and did a restore data for messages and got the picture back as a back ground option. So i can use it again. But i would still like to know where that picture is stored on the phone.
Thanks for your help.

That still doesn't say how the picture got on the phone in the first place. When you go to the setting to change the background in messaging, it either let's you take a picture or view the gallery to select a picture. Is this one you downloaded? or took with you camera? If it gave you the option to crop it, it was probably in your gallery.
Try opening the My Files app. then click All Files. Then Device Storage. It may be in one of these folders - DCIM (if you took the picture with your camera), Download (if you downloaded it from the web or email), or Pictures (if you moved it directly to your phone from a computer).
It could also be on your external SD card if you have one installed. To check it, just back up to where you chose Device storage, then just choose SD memory card and look in the files there. If it's not in any of these locations, I have no idea. Good luck!
Also, if you downloaded the picture from an app (like Zedge), it may be in another folder that the app itself created for storage.

Yes it used to be in my gallery but it got corrupt and i cant view it any more. It shows up as a blank JPEG now and yes It was taken with the phone. However the picture can still be seen in messages. I would like to recover that picture in messages as it is the only picture remaining.

I've had that happen before. I think I fixed it by connecting to a computer and copy in it over then renaming it. Not sure if that was how... it's been a while. But it was something with renaming the file.
Hope it helps.
Open dcim and check the .thumbnail folder. Might still be in there.
