Great video Brian and yes I do have a Google Pixel phone and up to now have had very annoying processes to follow - almost like doing a triple backflip in the piked position - to get photos from the phone into my computers. This is going to simply that transfer and make my life a great deal easier👍👍

bought myself a couple of usbc to usb adapters - best purchase ever!! (long story short: got a laptop that functions on usbc only and had an 'erm... how do I...?' moment) now I back up on the fly to anything that's handy. best £4 ever spent (twice - because of other devices). it means all usb devices work with what I have. including a midi usb keyboard which now works well with what I have.

This is especially useful for those whom don't have any other forms of backup or just looking for something simple. For me I utilize a large micro SD card in the phone, likewise similar method is used with my PC'S. I have separate storage drives built in to keep my resources low on main drive. I now have a NAS to which I am trying to learn to use properly. This way should something happen I will have at least a way to recover. I guess you can't have too much storage, better than none at all.

@woodylinder3388 ай бұрын
You can plug your android phone into your pc and do that directly with a linking software that will download itself. I haven't figured out how to do the SMS that way though. So, the photo or image in a text has to be saved to the phone before you can grab them this way. The folder is the DCIM on the Android. A good topic for another video.

Hi Brian. I have a question: I saw instructions on another video above removing the flash drive after the transfers of photos, etc. The advise was to go to settings and dismount the drive before manually removing the flash drive from the phone. The video was from a few years ago. I didn't see you go through this process so is this still advisable or is it an unnecessary step? Thank you.

What we need is something to back up not only images but all files in both iOS and android phones without having to connect to a computer or having operating system incompatibility issues between phone and computer. Only thing I have seen is this possible with rooted androids or jailbroken apples. Not fair. On the go and need to have the ability to copy to a portable drive without issues. Need to copy .pdf's, Microsoft office files etc.

Honestly this is a lot of manual copying over and over so I'd call it nonsense. Now if there were an app that could be opened which copies everything I set to copy (maybe a compilation of folders,) then I'd be impressed. People have 512 gb phones with 256gb of data which can get cumbersome if changes aren't being duplicated. Remember you're create a new backup every month or so.
