    Camera Roll folder. Pictures folder, OneDrive folder and Photo app

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you would like to know the purpose of camera roll folder in Windows 10.

    The collection of photos and videos you have taken is called your camera roll. Photos and videos captured using the Camera app with your PC/device's built-in camera or webcam are saved to the Camera Roll folder in your Pictures library by default. If you
    like, you can also save any image or video file into your Camera Roll folder as well.

    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

    camera roll in surface 4, windows 10

    Hello gillesmousseau,

    Your error code indicates that the camera app is unable to create the file, this usually indicates that there is a permissions issue with your currently logged in user being able to write to the "Camera Roll" folder.

    To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

    • Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:
    • Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
    • Click OK.
    • Were there any recent changes made prior to this issue?

    Meanwhile, I'd recommend following the steps in this article to troubleshoot camera issues on Windows 10.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.
