COPYING files from Android to PC.

On my Android phone (version 7), when I plugged in the USB cable I got a notification about it. I had to open the notification to be able to set permissions.

Ralph,

I figured it out and it is WAY easier than that. It IS still Copy & Paste, but you REALLY have to dig for the proper folder.

Thanks,

Tim

Thanks Gordon, but MY Android version doesn't work that way.

The latest update to Oreo, 8.0, Especially so with AT&T,is the problem. Backup to a Google account and then do a factory reset. Its a royal PITA.

It should still be that easy. When you plug into the PC, you should see a USB symbol on your phone, tapit and it's likely defaulted to "charge only" or some such. You can change it to "file transfer" ... your PC should re-detect the phone as either a removable USB or an MTP device

after this, it's drag and drop, cut and paste, whatever.
