Internal Storage Folder - DCIM

My internal storage folder keeps on dissappearing, what can I do so that it appears everytime I plug in my iphone in the laptop.


Or when it do appear it is very slow when I try to free some space by cutting and pasting it on an external harddrive.

iPhone X, iOS 14
