View, download, and export

I have an iPhone 7 with 9625 pictures and 228 videos. It's full now, and I'm desperate to empty my phone. I want to move all these images and videos to folders on my PC (Windows 10).
I've had three different iPhones, and I've always connected it to the PC with a cable, and then it has appeared on my PC as a device. I've then found the iPhone folders and copied and pasted pictures and videos.
But my iPhone 7 does not appear as an device, although I get a confirmation sound when I connect the cable, and I also approve the connection in a pop up box on my phone. I've also tried to upload via the Photos program on my PC, but Photos keep saying that I have to "connect device" – although it is connected. Something is wrong.
I have iCloud, and all of my images and videos appear on iCloud.com, but I can download only one at a time.
I have now signed up for Dropbox, but I don't find out how I can transfer thousands of pictures from my iPhone to my PC. Anyone who knows if Dropbox can fix this? I would be very thankful! 🙂

My phone connects to the computer, but it doesn't show up. But if it did, how would I be able to upload 10 000 pictures from my PC to Dropbox? What's the procedure.

I have installed the Dropbox software on my PC, but with camera upload I have to find the pictures in a folder, right? iPhone images are not meant to being transferred this way. Sometimes they are separated into many different folders. Isn't there a smoother and easier way to move the pictures from iPhone to Dropbox on PC?
I also have the app, and I would like to show you a screen shot. But how do I upload a picture here? "Insert/edit image" above here, didn't make sense to me.

I obviously have problems with connecting my iPhone to my computer. I'll take that with Apple. But my Dropbox app should be ok. I have turned on "camera upload", but I would like to show you a screen shot. It seems like a lot of pictures are waiting to download, but it seems like nothing is happening.
I clicked on the camera symbol above here, but I didn't understan how to upload a picture.
