Galaxy S4 downloading pictures-UPDATE
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 with an added mini SD card for storage. How do I get the pictures out of the phone without taking the back off and removing the SD card? I have tried hooking the phone ...

Barney, you can also just use Dropbox which will auto upload any photos from your Galaxy 4. BTW, when I installed the Dropbox(DB) app on my Galaxy S, DB gave me 50G Free space for the first year. Apparently, a promo with Samsung. You can also set camera uploads for WiFi only to avoid using your mobile data.
You're photos will then be available on your desktop/notebook once synced. DB does have an app available for Linux 32/64 bit.
You sure don't want to do that unless both the phone and the computer are connected to free unlimited wifi. Doing that with the phones cellular connection will eat up your monthly data in short order
Maybe you didn't read the part of setting Dropbox photo upload to WiFi only? That was the whole point of not using mobile 3G/4G data allowance for uploading photos. Which is what I do with my phones.
I read the entire post. That's why I mentioned that BOTH the phone and the computer need to be on wifi. If only the phone is on wifi and the computer downloads it there will still be huge data usage.
