Hi, I'm a new mac user. I'm used to windows, where I can access my iphone DCIM folders to move my photos to external hard drive. So, the folders have name 100APPLE, 101APPLE, etc. I believe it's very organized compared to what I can do in ma. I want to do that again using my mac. Is that possible?
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018), iOS 12.1

You cannot access that on a Mac.
The way to get the photos off of an iPhone is to use the Photos App or the Image Capture App.
Image Capture lets you store them in a folder in your Mac. Photos will automatically add them to its own library, and you would need to export them from there to a folder on your Mac.

Re: I cannot see any photos in the DCIM folder of my iphone 7 plus when connected to my PC
I know how to open it on my mac. But, I can't open the DCIM file, that's my problem.
By DCIM *file*, do you mean Folder?
Are your pics in Photos? Some other app?
You cannot. There is no access to the iPhone's DCIM folder on a Mac.
You can use the Photos App, or the built in Image Capture to get the photos out of the iPhone.
how do u export from photos to a folder?
Try the image capture app in your Mac, spotlight search Image Capture and open.
File -> Export -> Export Unmodified Original
thank you so much
