Windows 10: Cannot transfer files from my Android cell phone to my Windows 7.

Cannot transfer files from my Android cell phone to my Windows 7. Phone says it was sent. No file appears in my email. I can send this file to an Apple computer with no problem. Did Microsoft change something last year, since it was working earlier that year? I do not want to upgrade to Windows 10 to fix this?

No file transfer window when transferring files on android phones.


Device: One plus 2, Nexus 5, 7, and others not showing file transfer window when transferring files

OS: Windows 10

Brand: RazerModel: Razer

Blade 2016 (GTX 1060 edition)

Does this occur with other devices on this machine? : Yes

Does this happen on other laptops? : No

Does this occur when using different cables? : Yes

Does this occur on both modes MTP and PTP? : Yes

What happened when the device is unplugged While attempting to transfer a file?:

An error occurs as if the file were transferring in the background unseen but, it isn't.
It's been checked under task manager.
Steps Taken:Deleted any and all drivers dealing with Android through Device Manager -> show hidden devices -> uninstalled drivers.

Used different usb type "c" cables.

Uninstalled and reinstalled one plus drivers,

Uninstalled drivers for mtp and reinstalled

Updated all drivers per laptop website

Ran sfc/scannow tools, no issues found

Ran disk clean up, cleared all and any temp file (ex: cache, cookies, java cache)

This issue has been found to be windows itself and not the device(s).

Please feel free to throw me suggestions after reading through what was done! *Biggrin

 

How to transfer files/pics from android phone to PC via BT?

No. That is totally unnecessary. @NavyLCDR in his post did not show all the steps. Here is what he left out...

Connect the phone to the PC with a USB cable
On the phone swipe down from the top to show notifications
Locate the USB notification and open it





In the USB settings make sure Transferring files is selected.





Look for your phone in File Explorer





If you you double-click on it and nothing is shown that means you forgot to unlock the phone's screen





After you unlock the phone's screen the phone's storage will be shown





Double-click on the storage will show the contents. The phone's photos and screenshots will be in the DCIM folder.

 

transfering photos from android cell phone and windows 7

From your Android phone ...

The October 2018 Update will include the Your Phone app that will make it easier to transfer photos from an Android phone to a Windows 10 computer. However, the Update is still new, so the capabilities of this app have yet to be tested.

For now the easiest way is to upload your photos to cloud storage, like Google Drive or OneDrive, and then download them to your computer.

From your Windows 7 computer ...

Simply copy the photos to a USB flash drive or an external drive and transfer them to your computer.
