Windows 10: Get files from my PC to my android phone

Get PC files on Android phone

:)

 

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.

 

Uploading data from android to pc

Hi AlaynaHarstine,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

• Have you tried to connect the Android device to PC using an USB cable?
  

However, you may follow these steps to check if that helps:

• Connect the Android device to the PC using a micro USB cable.
  
• You can see an ‘AutoPlay popup’ on your PC once your phone is successfully connected and recognized by the computer. Click on the ‘Open folder to view files’ option.
  
• Copy and paste the files or folders that you want to recover from your phone's internal memory to your PC.
  
• When the steps are done, you can successfully recover and transfer your data from Android phone with broken screen to your PC.
  

Alternatively, if you have the data saved on an external SD card, then you can plug in the card to the PC to transfer the data. You may need an adaptor to read the SD card on the PC.

Hope this helps.

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.

Cannot see Android 6 BLU R1 HD phone with USB connectito Windows 10 PC

Thank you for this suggestion Railtech, but not there yet...
I checked this article, downloaded the recommended RaR file, extracted, and followed the advice BUT Device Mgr on my PC does not find a driver to install in the folder of extracted files (yes, Use Subfolders was checked *Smile.
Just for fun, I did try installing the Universal Android USB driver (though this was not mentioned in the article). This lets the Device Mangler see & list my phone as an "Android Phone" instead of "Other --> Unknown Device" but ... still nothing File Explorer can see.

I just looked on the BLU site for R1 HD support, and there is NOTHING there about using USB. Does not seem to be supported!!! I'll be damned if I have to do a two-step dance through the cloud to get stuff onto my computer!

Since I do not see a Device Mangler msg. about unsigned drivers, I am reluctant to try the route of disabling a requirement for signed drivers. At this point I don't have much confidence that I would be installing anything safe & useful. D.M. msg. is "Could not find driver software for your device": does this really mean no signed driver? Do I need to go down that rat hole? Or?
