For those of you who watched him slowly explain and describe three different types of USB cables, and then instantly whizzed past the part where you actually do the transfer: At 2:51 he extremely quickly says "Go to My Computer and click on it". My Computer appears differently on different computers. It's usually an icon with the tiny words "my computer" on it. On some computers it has no words at all, just a tiny icon of a computer. Hover your mouse over it and its description may appear. Double click on it to begin the procedure. Some computers have gotten rid of the My Computer icon entirely and replaced it with "File Explorer", with a tiny picture of a file folder on it. Click on it after you've plugged your phone in, and you should see your phone appear in a list of devices the computer recognizes. You're welcome.
AT LAST I have found someone who tells it as it is. Someone I can understand. Someone who's voice is not annoying. Someone who knows what they are talking about. Thank you so much!!!
You sir define "smart". I have watched videos on how to transfer files from phone to pc for two days. You got me up and running in 5 minutes. Bravo good sir.
I just have to say this. In your video when you pulled out your cable from your charging unit, you pulled on the wire. Never pull on the wire to disconnect anything. Always pull on the connector it self unless you are looking for future troubles. This applies to any plug on any cord whether it is a 120 volt appliance or an extension cord or any electrical device of any kind. Never pull on the cord. You will end up pulling wires out of the connectors and you will only know what you have done when it stops working and you have to buy a new one.
Thank you for the clear, concise instructions AND visuals! I searched all over for a visual, read a manual, and had no idea the cable came apart from the plug end! Duh.
Thank you for making this very simple! I watched several videos on how to transfer my "videos" from my Android to computer...NONE of them said to go to the charging icon at top to change from charging to transfer...such an easy solution! Thanks!
Thanks for the easiest and user-friendly instructions to transfer my pictures from an old Android to my PC. You saved me time and money. I am on the top of the list for tech-illiterate and your video was amazing to understand and follow. Yes, I accomplished the transfer without any kinks. I couldn't believe it but NOW I DO BELIEVE. Great video.
On some phones, when you connect them to the PC, they will not show up. This is because they are using the USB exclusively for charging. It's actually a security measure, to enable file transfers you have to go to the Android device - usually it shows up as an event "Using USB for charging", tap on that and there should be an option to change it to "Transfer Files" (or something similar to that, sometimes they call files "photos" of whatever). As soon as you enable this, Windows should ping and recognise the Android device as a storage device, and after that, you can copy files back and forth as you please. It's a pain in the butt, but as I said, it;s a security feature. It's very unintuitive, would be way better if you got a popup on the phone saying "Do you want to use the USB for just charging, or to transfer files to/from a computer?". My Moto phone is like this and I had to trawl through RUclips finding explanatory videos
Around 2:33 you went into hyper drive and I could not understand a word you said, but I think you jump started my own thinking to get me where I needed to be! Ha! Thank you!
Props and thanks millions for making your music ever-so-quiet in the background of your video. Generally, I hate non-value adding music in a video that's not there for the musical content. You did a great job not making it an annoyance. Thanks for answering my tech questions! Cheers :)
definitely a thumbs-up for being thorough and to mention all the different pop-ups for different windows versions! i love the extra cautiousness and information!
When you plug your android device in, use the pull down menu at the home screen and click on the USB notification labelled "Android system". Then tap once more for the option "Transfer Files" and you should now see the Phone icon on your PC. You may also have to reconnect the phone via USB to the computer if thre icon does not appear. Hope this helps
I have no idea what you are doing but I know for sure, that you have a talent for making a short story long ! I tried to follow but when I plug phone into computer all I get is some computer error code. 😢
I have a problem. I connect my computer to my tablet and then copy and paste my video into the tablet folder, but then it does the Windows Foreground sound and does absolutely nothing. Please reply and help :(
My experience with the Moto E5 Plus - I wanted to copy photos from the PC to the phone. You have to set the USB on the phone from "Charging" to "Transfer Files" so the computer will read the folders on the phone. The phone needs to be connected to the computer and on, go to settings, select Connected Devices, and then tap USB to show all the selections. Select transfer files (or transfer photos - I used Transfer files) and the PC will now be able to see the folders on the phone and the phone will accept the items you are trying to copy to the phone.
PERFECT!!! I am not tech-savvy and I could not figure out how to download my photos from my new phone to my PC. You made it quick and easy for me. Thank you. Thank you.
Thanks for the video babbling boolean. Helped me sync desktop adobe files to my tablet adobe files. Now I'm searching to add a portable printer to my tablet. Thank you again.
I appreciate that you took the time to show EVERYTHING! I know for some people it seems redundant, but there are so many videos out there already! It's nice that someone took the time to explain everything! Much appreciated!
Thank you so much! I was having a lot of trouble connecting my phone and computer until I watched this. But can I add one more very important step? On many Android phones you also have to enable tethering. On your phone go to settings, click on connections, scroll down to and click on mobile hotspot and tethering, and finally turn on usb tethering. You can only turn on usb tethering if your usb wire is already attached to both the phone and computer.
Tethering is a completely different function from the purpose of this video. Tethering is designed to use the mobile data plan on your phone to provide internet to other devices like a computer.
Great video! after hours of searching my computer and watching other videos I finally find yours. You were right, all I needed was the right usb cable. I suggest trying every usb phone cable.
When you plug your android device in, use the pull down menu at the home screen and click on the USB notification labelled "Android system". Then tap once more for the option "Transfer Files" and you should now see the Phone icon on your PC. You may also have to reconnect the phone via USB to the computer if thre icon does not appear. Hope this helps
Thank you I'm not to savvy with this computer stuff, & and I have to transfer files from my android to my HP. You have helped me to understand a bit more. I am following you. Your friend Christine
I understand that you have to point out even the most basic things, that is a good tech support protocol. I want to MOVE the pictures and not just copy them. I have to free up space in my SD card in the Android phone. Since I don't want to lose these pictures in Google Photos, I can't delete them using that app on the phone. I tried using Gallery app. Also Google Photos will not allow access to the SD card where the pictures are stored. I tried using Gallery app. This too will seem to remove the cloud saved photos, maybe, it seems to do so when selecting multiple files. It may not do so removing one at a time. Trying removing them to trash one at a time is so time consuming, there must be a better way. Can I simply move the pictures instead using this method or will that jack up my phone? P.S. Everywhere I search for an answer the word "transfer" is used, and is ALWAYS resulting as a COPY, but never a MOVE.
Now, how can I prevent the photos from syncing back to the phone? I also don't want google office to synch but do want the mail to synch. Love the simplicity of your videos.
That was interesting lesson with very clear delivery. Just wonder how to disable security on phone because I can't seem to find phone icon. I was transferring my pics over no problem via USB and then suddenly they won't load any more. So frustrating! Maybe I'll try another cable. These do have a limited life span and I've got through a number. Thanks!
My phone needed to disable the lock screen, not just unlocking my phone. Hope this comment helps someone. I was using a Samsung Galaxy S9 trying to copy a movie to my phone.
I'm using Motorola, when I did same by USB connection method... my phone allowed me to choose only transfer of photos...which is screenshot. I can't able to transfer any audio recorded files.. I can't choose any other USB option please help me!!!
You were so right, not all USB cables are the same, I could not connect my Lenovo tablet to my Lenovo laptop until I used the cable the tablet came with.
Is there a phone number anyone can call to get help with their computer issues? With things like format and software problems that ISP tech support doesn't deal with?
That's fine an clear explanation. THANK YOU! but can you please reply URGENTLY!!!! How do you copy and paste videos? Do you just do the normal Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v or, Export file or something more complicated like that?
GREAT VOICE! Keep at it. Yes, I could follow and understand you perfectly. There is a HUGE difference between North American English and Delhi or Mumbai English. Keep up your fine reports!
When I click DCIM, it doesn't show anything for the video i want to download onto my computer. It says thumbnails, capture, and camera. I made my video on powerdirector so Idk what to do at this point

you are one of those people who know what they are doing and make life easier but you could make the introduction shorter so you can get to the real bit quiker.
how do you transfer video files if it not in dcim files . where do you expect find the video if it not in dicm file .Thank you if anyone answer my question
This depends on which app has them. For example pictures and videos received in Whatsapp send the pictures and videos to it's own folder, not DCIM. The easiest thing (at least on a Samsung device) is to find your picture/video in the gallery app, while the picture/video is open, open the options menu and view the "details" (it tells you which folder the picture/video is in).
hello, thank you for the guidance. On my phone I have organized my photos in folders. I only wish to transfer some folders. Can I transfer folder specific?
Can the transfer be done from my android phone with this method to a "notebook" that does not have Windows installed on it? Will I be able to print the transferred information? I've also seen a method of downloading an android transfer app. That will allow me to transfer and save the information as a pdf. Will that work with a notebook that does not have Windows?
I know this is over 2 yrs later; but if you're still available, I'd like to ask a question. I have around 10,000 audio files that I'm uploading from my computer to my Android Moto Z Force. There's a ton of space left on the phone..fyi. But whether I'm downloading 100 files, or 1,000 files or more at a time, it's taking so so long to load into my phone. Each audio file I'm loading is only around 200ms/around 5-9kb of space. A friend has the exact same phone and was loading the exact same audio files into an app on his phone as well(same app audio bank I'm loading into), and to load all of the files only took him a matter of minutes he said. Do you know why this would be??? Thank you for your time.
It's hard to say. It could be anything. It could be the phone itself, some allow faster data transfer rates than other phones, it could be the cable, it could be the computer, etc.
Warsaw Missouri Hi Thank you for this informative video. This what I was just going to try to do. Temporarily now I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and a temporary Samsung Galaxy 20 5g. 2 cords identical without one end being USB on both. They are the same on both ends. But I have new info on the 20 5g. And info on my note 10 that I want backed up on my Dell with windows 7. Now if it was phone to phone, I could use the smartswitch on both phones. CAN I USE THE SMARTSWITCH FROM MY ANDROID TO MY PC????? I WAS GOING TO UPGRADE TO THE 20 5G, BUT NOW I AM GOING TO RETURN IT TO SPRINT AND KEEP MY NOTE. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? I LIVE IN A VERY SMALL TOWN AND THE CLOSES SPRINT STORE IS A HOUR AWAY AND I AM 69. THANK YOU
Alot of tutorials of these on YT but nobody ever mentioned about where the hell to copy a Microsoft office document into a phone.. where to? Need help!
Hi. I have a Samsung Note 8. Will I be able to transfer photos from All my sub albums like Facebook, Screenshots, Snapchat, etc along with DCIM camera pix to my Windows Xp Computer? It's a very old computer & I dont know if it would recognize my phone 😕 I need to get a Windows 10 laptop soon...
I used to use a app called MyMedia to transfer things from my Iphone to my windows, i got a android recently and this video helped me a lot since it turns out MyMedia is not on my android phone
Hello! I tried to use the steps you told me to do so and my main problem was that it didn't appear on my computer saying my phone is connected. So now I wasver clear after watching yoyr video and thanks for your steps....
My pc refuses to put any file on my mobile.. Tried everything and nothing works.. As soon as i try to put a song on it for example, it completely stops after a few seconds... Or the loading bar freezes, and when i click cancel, my windows completely freezes... Windows 10.
I have an old Galaxy S6 and my DCIM folder is empty...where else would my pictures and videos be? I have tried every folder and there is not a camera folder and none of the other ones seem to have pictures in them..have a bunch to transfer so I can factory reset..
I liked the info. It worked for me. But would like to say NEVER disconnect by pulling on the cable as this could damage the cable. ALWAYS hold the plug.

I know this is over 2 yrs later; but if you're still available, I'd like to ask a question. I have around 10,000 audio files that I'm uploading from my computer to my Android Moto Z Force. There's a ton of space left on the phone..fyi. But whether I'm downloading 100 files, or 1,000 files or more at a time, it's taking so so long to load into my phone. Each audio file I'm loading is only around 200ms/around 5-9kb of space. A friend has the exact same phone and was loading the exact same audio files into an app on his phone as well(same app audio bank I'm loading into), and to load all of the files only took him a matter of minutes he said. Do you know why this would be??? Thank you for your time.
It's hard to say. It could be anything. It could be the phone itself, some allow faster data transfer rates than other phones, it could be the cable, it could be the computer, etc.
Warsaw Missouri Hi Thank you for this informative video. This what I was just going to try to do. Temporarily now I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and a temporary Samsung Galaxy 20 5g. 2 cords identical without one end being USB on both. They are the same on both ends. But I have new info on the 20 5g. And info on my note 10 that I want backed up on my Dell with windows 7.
Now if it was phone to phone, I could use the smartswitch on both phones.
CAN I USE THE SMARTSWITCH FROM MY ANDROID TO MY PC?????
I WAS GOING TO UPGRADE TO THE 20 5G, BUT NOW I AM GOING TO RETURN IT TO SPRINT AND KEEP MY NOTE. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?
I LIVE IN A VERY SMALL TOWN AND THE CLOSES SPRINT STORE IS A HOUR AWAY AND I AM 69.
THANK YOU

Alot of tutorials of these on YT but nobody ever mentioned about where the hell to copy a Microsoft office document into a phone.. where to? Need help!
Hi. I have a Samsung Note 8. Will I be able to transfer photos from All my sub albums like Facebook, Screenshots, Snapchat, etc along with DCIM camera pix to my Windows Xp Computer? It's a very old computer & I dont know if it would recognize my phone 😕 I need to get a Windows 10 laptop soon...
great information . good job buddy!
I used to use a app called MyMedia to transfer things from my Iphone to my windows, i got a android recently and this video helped me a lot since it turns out MyMedia is not on my android phone
Hello! I tried to use the steps you told me to do so and my main problem was that it didn't appear on my computer saying my phone is connected. So now I wasver clear after watching yoyr video and thanks for your steps....
Very useful information. Turns out I just needed to tap the notification on the phone to change usb transfer settings 📱
My pc refuses to put any file on my mobile.. Tried everything and nothing works.. As soon as i try to put a song on it for example, it completely stops after a few seconds... Or the loading bar freezes, and when i click cancel, my windows completely freezes... Windows 10.
Same
Thx
I have an old Galaxy S6 and my DCIM folder is empty...where else would my pictures and videos be? I have tried every folder and there is not a camera folder and none of the other ones seem to have pictures in them..have a bunch to transfer so I can factory reset..
I liked the info. It worked for me. But would like to say NEVER disconnect by pulling on the cable as this could damage the cable. ALWAYS hold the plug.
