geneedge Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm fairly computer savvy, but I can't figure out how to move files and photos between my PC and my android. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance Gene 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psywar Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Dropbox I think is the easiest method. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdfull3r Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Dropbox, SugarSync and Google Drive are all cloud storage options to Move files around You also can use air droid to leverage your wifi network to move files Then there is always the hardwired way. Take a USB to microusb data cable and connect your smartphone to your PC. Your android should have. A notification saying USB connected. Some require thou to turn on mass storage click on that notification to go to a screen with a green android and a button press the button and the android will be orange and your sd card and smartphone are connected to your computer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revmacd Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Right, the USB cable is the easiest way. When you plug the USB into the phone a tiny little USB symbol will appear in the notification bar at the top of the phone. When you pull down the notification screen there will be an entry that says something like "USB cable attached" or some such. Press that and it will take you to a screen where you can turn on the USB transfer. Having said that, your pictures are not always in the folder that says "camera" when you are reading your phone as a drive under "Computer" in Windows. Sometimes you have to go into a folder labeled "DCIM" to find them. I honestly never thought to find out what DCIM stands for and don't care. I just know it is where my pictures are. Once in DCIM you will most likely be able to view thumbnails of your photos and drag and drop them, select all and copy them, or highlight+ctrl to select multiple pics to drag and drop, copy to picture folder etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrissyhume Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 If you store everything on an SD card in your phone, then you can also take it out and read it from the computer if it has a SD reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian.delooper Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I would definitely suggest you use Google Drive! It's very easy to use and wireless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dave Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Drop box and Google drive would be the great application that can do this for you in a easy manner !! Well, if you are using samsung device then you could also use Samsung Link. Samsung Link is another application using it you can transfer your files to dropbox, One drive or to your PC !!
