Windows 10: Images .jpg's became inaccessible and 13gb each in size upon transfer from Android phone to...

I just tried to cut and paste my pictures from my phone Samsung Galaxy S8 to my laptop Asus X541U; Windows 10 and once done the files will not open and each jpg is somehow 13gb in size with a total folder size of 18TB!

I later realised that the pics I transferred were around 12gb in size since my phone was full but now has 12gb free but the pc did not have enough space for the pics since it only had 9gb free. However, I was not prompted about the lack of space when trying to transfer them, and instead the pics were still transferred, but then appeared as 13gb each with a total of 18TB as aforesaid. I'm not sure if the lack of space is related to what happened to the files.


I hope I did not lose all of my photos. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Image size huge after transfer from phone to computer

Images taken on an iphone (iPhone 7, up to date) seem to store with normal file size (several MB). When connecting the phone through USB cable to a windows computer, some of the copied files/images have a giant file size. The lowest value is about 600MB, but some images can "grow" to 2 or even 3 GB.
When replicating the copy action, the same files are stored as it should (with their sizes like on the phone, being about 3-4 MB).

Looking back, it seems this has always been the issue since the phone was purchased (about 1 and a half year ago).

EDiT
It's a simple file transfer through explorer.
I've compared a normal images and a corrupted image properties, and nothing out of the ordinary except file size.
Read only attribute is not checked.
File size is checked through explorer on the phone (didn't found a way to do so on the phone).

Any suggestions what could cause this behavior?
Let me know if I can provide extra information.

 

Image size huge after transfer from phone to computer

Before figuring out the exact cause, you need to know the actual amount of data transferred. It could be that the software interface between your PC and your iPhone are just showing miscalculated values. Try the following two methods:

1. set up a tiny file server on your PC, e.g. FileZilla FTP server, or HFS (a very simple http file server), and use FTP clients or web browsers on your phone to upload images to them, watch for the file size.
   
2. use resmon.exe (System Resource Monitor), or some third-party hacker tools like ProcessExplorer from SysInternals or ProcessHacker by Wen Jia Liu, and monitor system I/O delta size. The graphic curves automatically provided by these tools shall suffice.
   

In case you do find bulky uploads, you can keep the large files got in method 1 temporarily, and run binary file editors / hex-editors like UltraEdit, HxD on both the erroneous files and the correct files to see what extra data has been actually written to these bulky files.
