Now plug into the PC with the USB.
Check in a Explorer for the phone.
You should now be able to see the phone folders....
Indeed, the instructions above are spot on, in regard to moving files via USB in regard to the Samsung S7...
I would like to encourage the use of another, simpler, approach to moving files from PC to smartphone or smartphone to PC. I stopped using USB for movement a couple of years back. A far better alternative is to have Microsoft One Drive, Drop Box or Google Drive installed on your PC and the associated app on your smart phone. Anyway, you can easily/quickly, place files you wish to transfer in your One Drive, Drop Box or Google Drive folder on the PC and they are then, available quickly, via the associated app on your smartphone. Using One Drive, Drop Box or Google Drive to move files is a far easier approach versus using the old USB method. I also have my smartphone pictures sent to One Drive, Drop Box or Google Drive as I take them. (they then sync to the PC) I use One Drive, Drop Box and Google Drive for cloud storage. Anyway, in my opinion, using the cloud... is a plus. I might also mention files are also easily shared with others via One Drive, Drop Box or Google Drive.
Note: Microsoft One Drive, offers for free, 5GB of storage.
