TIL the DCIM directory stands for "Digital Camera Images"

If someone else has the ability to upload any of your files then the name of your folders is completely unimportant.
How do you know that the latest version of a piece of software that auto updated on your computer doesn't have anything snooping on your hard drive and uploading whatever it wants somewhere?
Think about it. How would you know? Let's assume it's not using a bug, exploit or vulnerability.

The unmounting needing a reboot seems very much a you problem.
I have managed over 1000 systems since XP days and never came across it.
You've never, ever plugged in a thumbdrive and then used the "safely remove hardware" tray to try and eject... only to receive an error that says "unable to remove, in use" or similar?
I guess i've never seen it happen when I was using a thumb drive to image a machine well over a decade ago.
There are a few people on the internet who seem to have reported this though:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4212072/cant-eject-external-hard-drive
There are thousands of results of this. I have encountered this dozens of times personally across dozens of different systems.

Its actually "dickim”
Only if you get his permission.

On top of this, it’s usually because the local cache hasn’t actually written all the data to the drive and if you go yanking the drive in this state, your most recent chunk of data would be missing or corrupt. The eject button forces your OS to clear its write cache before unmounting the file system.
But that’s a lot less of an exciting answer.
Hm, the way I remember it is that the cache being flushed showed a spinner before ejecting the drive. GP is referring to an actual error being shown.

I pronounce it as Daysim and you can't stop me
i can if i think up a worse way to pronounce it. i'm leaning tsee, like first consonant like tzatziki, and the M is silent

So it should have been DCI all this time. Or DICAIM.
Dick aim? 🤔

I don't understand what his personal life has to do with this, although I cannot provide doubt as to whether he has some junk in his trunk.

Imagine if you were a malicious actor and you wanted a copy of all photos someone plugged into a computer that were not things like browser cache, just good honest to god OC.
All you have to do is listen on drive letters D, E, F, G and when one is plugged in with a DCIM directory... silently upload the data contents to a server over the internet when a drive is detected with that subdirectory.
Have you ever wondered why you couldn't eject a drive without rebooting? It's not like it's going to tell you what process is keeping it locked... Encryption wouldn't even matter, because you're gonna need to decrypt/unlock it to access it, and windows doesn't care what service or application is trying to access it, it is glad to allow any kind of file action without even admin rights.
Anywho, actor has your photo, AI trivially builds facial recognition models, pulls in timestamps, geolocation metadata, camera metadata... and now those photos you never intended to upload anywhere are in a database of PII that will be shared to god-knows-who.

For quite a long while search engines would return amazing results when you searched for
Dsc-0001.jpg
And so on, perhaps with some variations based on camera model. People uploaded their DCIM folders to their homedirs which were sometimes exposed to the web. You'd see so much private stuff this way.
Just tried and it appears such functionality has been removed from Google, because of course it has.
