    can't transfer files between laptop and phone over BT


    Hi friends. I'm having issue transferring files between my old Toshiba L750-1N3 and Note 10 plus. I paired the phone with laptop and when I click on pics on phone and click on bluetooth icon phone recognizes the laptop but when I chose it I get an "error transfering files". How do I resolve this issue? I can try other phone and report back,if you want.

    :)

    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
     
  3. USB Transfer to Laptop

    Hello Judy,

    I suggest you to copy all the files to a flash drive from the laptop.
    You may create a new folder on your desktop and name that folder as per your choice.


    • Perform the steps to transfer the files from laptop to desktop.

    • Plug in the flash drive and wait for it to get detected.

    • Now, open the flash drive and Right Click on the files that you want to transfer and select “Copy”.

    • Now, open the folder on desktop and Right Click on an empty space in the folder and select “Paste”.

    • Similarly, you can transfer all other files.
    As per the file size you can also use an external drive instead of a flash drive and transfer the data.



    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    can't transfer files between laptop and phone over BT

    transfer files between computers on a home network

    I don't know why this is so hard to do but I would like to transfer files between a desktop PC running windows 10 pro and a laptop running windows 10 home. I would like to transfer files in both directions. Both computers are on the same home network and are connected wirelessly.

    Could some one provide either specific step by step instructions on how to do this (I googled and found a countless list of instructions that don't work)

    or a link to a reference.

    Thanks,

    I don't know if this is possible but it would be nice to see the computer sending the desired file in the explorer file manager of the computer receiving the desired file and then under the computer see a list
    of shared files and folders.

    Again, this seems like such a reasonable way of sharing files and folders. Shouldn't there be a simple way to do this?
