I have the same problem with ubuntu 18.04 lts and a samsung s6 edge. When I connect the phone to my pc and open Nautilus it shows no files or folders. But I stumbled on a work around: close all instances of Nautilus, dismount the phone and turn it off without disconecting it. Then turn it on and sometimes Nautilus can see it. Hope it works for you

Connecting my Samsung A3 to Kubuntu 18.04 over USB was not working, also solved by connecting the phone and then restarting it while still connected. Using Dolphin rather than Nautilus since kubuntu rather than gnome, did not have to close any instances of Dolphin, just restarting the phone was enough.

I had to move all my photos to the external memory chip(32gig), power off, remove chip and plug it into my PC with an adapter. Got them that way. But it's a real hassle to take my case off and remove the back of the phone to access the chip. Does anyone know what caused this problem? I'm pretty sure it worked early on but after some updates it went south. We need a fix for this from Ubuntu.
