    Thanks for the tip about simply waiting for the folder to appear, no other video I found suggested that time might be the issue, took about 30 seconds before the folder showed up, you're a lifesaver!

    Nice try, but no dice. Connection and photo file copy used to work with this PC and phone. I don't even get the DCIM folder under "Internal storage". I didn't get the "trust this computer" re-prompt after reset, re-connect the cable, or even after a re-start. iCloud photos is (and always has been) disabled. It recently updated to iOS 14.7.1 and, being a work phone, has MobileIron security app installed (though this hasn't changed recently).
