To anyone that can helpover the last 1 mth or so, I transferred some photos and videos taken on my phone to my laptop C drive. Stored in a few different folders.

can't transfer files between laptop and phone over BT

To transfer files from the phone to the laptop you must first set up the laptop so it is waiting to receive files. In Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices:

1. Turn on Bluetooth
2. Click on 'Send or receive files via Bluetooth'
3. Click 'Receive files'

When you send a file to the laptop it then ask you to choose where to save it.





As it happens, these screenshots were from my old Toshiba L750 *Wink

 

Cable to transfer files

OMG. I have never met anyone who actually bought one of those file transfer things.



Firewire will do the same as USB, but faster, so will a cheap crossover cable. I can wlak you through the steps of moving data so you will not miss a beat.




Anything more than $10 to buy a cable is too much.

 

Error ox80070057: the parameter is incorrect while transferring the files to phone

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, we will try our best to help you.

• What is the make and model of the phone and computer?

• Can you transfer files from other devices to computer?

I would Suggest you the following steps if you are unable to transfer files from any external devices.


Method 1:
This problem can occur if the decimal symbol is not set to '.' (Dot). This is common in languages and locales other than English (United States).
a. Press Windows key + X and select Region.
b. Click the Formats tab, and then click Additional settings.
c. In the Decimal symbol field, type. (Dot), and then click OK two times.
d. Restart the computer.

Method 2:

If the issue happens with all external devices then I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the USB port driver and check.

Hope this information helps you. Kindly post back with the updated issue for further assistance.



Thank you
