In previous versions of Windows, there was a "feature" which, after connecting my Sony Camera via the USB cable, showed folders divided by days like this:

Folder1: 2015-08-10
Folder2: 2015-08-11
etc.

But now it shows pure content of the SD card. Meaning:

Folder: DCIM
Folder: MP_ROOT
etc.

How can I get the previous folder-view back?

  • I think its a camera function rather than windows feature. In my friend's camera, there is an option to set it, you can set the camera to create a folder for storing photos of each day or for a month. Check your camera functions for such options.

  • It is possible that Windows 10 ignores my camera settings?

Your camera connects over MTP, and the folder layout is determined by the camera.

There is however an option to "group by" (right click, group by and "more") - and one of the options there is "date taken"

Which seems to do the trick for me

This works similarly to the group by date option but uses the meta tags

  • Yes, you can do this, but it was more convenient just to copy and paste whole folder as it is with videos etc. My camera has not changed, I only changed my OS from win 7, to win 10. May be win 10 ignores that MTP camera setting? On my notebook with win 7 it works as expected.
