Google Photos not visible in Pictures library

Hi Jdmuratore,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

Please answer these questions to get clarity on this issue:

1. Were you able to see the Google photos folder in the File Explorer Pictures Library previously?
   
2. Have you enabled the Sync feature in the Google Drive app?
   
3. Are you able see the photos in the path under "C:\Users\,username>\Google Drive\Google Photos?
   

However, let us follow these methods to check if that works.

Method 1: Suggest you to Index the Google Drive folder and check if that helps. Refer to the suggestion provided by ‘Marc Cai’ from this thread:

When I take a photo of myself with my laptop camera, what directory is it placed in?

By default, your pictures should appear in your Pictures\Camera Roll folder. If they aren't there, follow these steps to figure out where they are being saved:

1. Take a picture with the camera app.
   
2. Click the thumbnail of the picture you just took at the bottom right of the app.
   
3. When the photo viewer opens, click the three dots (...) at the top right and select "File Info".
   

A panel will then appear and it will tell you the directory where your picture is located.

If you created your account picture by going to your account settings and then selecting "create your picture -> camera", then the picture will not have been stored in your camera roll. It will be located in %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures as mentioned by @kicken.

 

upload pictures to windows 10 from canon a2600

Can't upload pictures to my one day old windows 10 udgrade of Photos from my canon a2600.

Two days ago I was uploading pictures from my camera to my windows 8.1 Photos program simply by plugging in the cable to the computer and camera, selecting shots and done. New file created.

Now, with the upgrade to windows 10 yesterday, I get a 'select items to import from canon powershot a2600' window in front of the Photos home window with every thing disabled on the background window and the ability to include or exclude camera contents
from the pending import in the active window. From this window I can see the pictures, but I find no input to proceed with the the importing process, only the files to include in the import. Now, my pictures are held hostage in my camera. I looked at canon
drivers and got a new one, the camers is in the devices list, I'm missing something. HELP!
