Hi Folks. New to this. I used a phone-sweeping app which displays my "/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/.thumbnails" contents, apparently every picture I have ever taken with the phone, including some I had deleted. There are a few I'd like to restore and use again. Is there a way to get them out of the abovementioned storage location back into a usable picture location such as the gallery? Thanks.

Are storage thumbnails retrievable?

Hi
You could copy the .jpg thumbnails into the dcim folder but they are just thumbnails not full size pictures. You can not restore the originals from them.

I seem to be having the same issue however in my case it's more like 19gb and about 230 000 pictures. Can't copy the .thumbnail folder into my phone cause the folder is so huge. Is it possible to FTP or copy the files onto a PC ?
P.S All my pics were deleted off my device and this seems to be to only way to recover my pictures. Thanks.
