Windows 10: OneDrive camera roll folder is empty on windows

I have onedrive on my android phone signed in and automatically backs up photos to a camera roll folder on Onedrive. But when I access the same folder on onedrive on my PC, it says the folder is empty. Yes I am signed in to the same account on both devices. Yes it is set to upload automatically. It even says Camera backup complete and has a green tick on the android app. Yes I am connected to wifi on both devices and have been for the past month. Looking at these screenshots, the drive as a whole just looks like a completely different set of files. What on earth is going on?!

Onedrive camera roll.

I have a folder in onedrive named camera roll. The last 2 days I took pictures with my iphone (5s). Yesterday my iphone onedrive app put the pictures in a new folder named camera roll 1, today it put pictures in a new folder named camera roll 2. Can anybody explain why this is happening? I did not create these folders.

Can you Hide the Camera Roll folder in Windows 11?

Open a Command Prompt window.

Type:

• attrib +s +h "%userprofile%\Pictures\Camera Roll"
  

Press Enter. This hides the "Camera Roll" folder.

To unhide it, run:

• attrib -s -h "%userprofile%\Pictures\Camera Roll"
  

If you've moved "Pictures\Camera Roll" to OneDrive, then use the following pathin the above command-line:

"%userprofile%\OneDrive\Pictures\Camera Roll"
