In this video, you will learn how to transfer files, pictures, and music from an Android smartphone such as a Pixel 3XL, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, or Motorola Razr to your Windows PC using a USB cord. Many times wifi and bluetooth are just not reliable enough or fast enough to move large files off of your phone and on to your PC. This method allows you to free up valuable space on your phone and move large video, picture, and data files over to the larger hard drive on your PC for easy video editing and picture editing.

Thanks! I just got a Samsung Galaxy A13 and was going nuts with transferring photos to my Acer desktop, Windows11. I didn't know if it would work as your vid is 2 yrs old but it did. Doesn't look exactly the same but close and I selected transfer images, and it showed up on my PC file folders. First time using this process. Cheers, Bob

Oh wow, he starts by explaining that A is a letter, and so is B, and that you have to connect the cable in the phone and computer for it to work , what a genius. I didn't know that, so now it all works for me.

I have a Samsung S20FE, and I followed your steps to a tee, yet it won't recognize the pics I have in my DCIM photo folder. I can see them on my phone, but when I plug it to my pc, the DCIM folder shows it's empty. I'm obviously doing something wrong. Thanks for sharing your video none the less.

@Myandybuck 6 ай бұрын

I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems. My first guess would be that your phone is saving your pics and videos in a different location. Although rare, sometimes the path is inadvertantly changed. You can find the path by searching your files. I'll post a video today about how to find the pics of they are not in the DCIM folder. Great question!

@@eleazaralvarez1472 before you go any further, try a different cord just to make sure. The next thing I would do is reboot your PC and your phone. Lastly, does your phone see the PC. In the notification section it should ask you how you want the phone to respond. Make sure you choose "Transfer files", I hope this helps.

@@daddyleon It sounds like your PC isn't recognizing when something is plugged in. You could also try a different USB port on your PC. Another thought would be that you could open File Explorer on your PC and scroll down on the left side. If you see your phone on the left hand tree, then go to your phone, pull down the drop down menu and change the setting for how the phone reacts as shown in the video. Then open the phone in file explorer and you should be all set!
