AT LAST I have found someone who tells it as it is. Someone I can understand. Someone who's voice is not annoying. Someone who knows what they are talking about. Thank you so much!!!

[@maskedmarvyl4774]

For those of you who watched him slowly explain and describe three different types of USB cables, and then instantly whizzed past the part where you actually do the transfer: At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="171">2:51</a> he extremely quickly says "Go to My Computer and click on it". My Computer appears differently on different computers. It's usually an icon with the tiny words "my computer" on it. On some computers it has no words at all, just a tiny icon of a computer. Hover your mouse over it and its description may appear. Double click on it to begin the procedure. Some computers have gotten rid of the My Computer icon entirely and replaced it with "File Explorer", with a tiny picture of a file folder on it. Click on it after you've plugged your phone in, and you should see your phone appear in a list of devices the computer recognizes. You're welcome.

[@firstlast8108]

but where do you find the text files to transfer?

[@michaelannalora7469]

You sir define "smart". I have watched videos on how to transfer files from phone to pc for two days. You got me up and running in 5 minutes. Bravo good sir.

[@carlacowart4709]

Thank you for making this very simple! I watched several videos on how to transfer my "videos" from my Android to computer...NONE of them said to go to the charging icon at top to change from charging to transfer...such an easy solution! Thanks!

[@neophyted9280]

Thanks for the easiest and user-friendly instructions to transfer my pictures from an old Android to my PC. You saved me time and money. I am on the top of the list for tech-illiterate and your video was amazing to understand and follow. Yes, I accomplished the transfer without any kinks. I couldn't believe it but NOW I DO BELIEVE. Great video.

[@juancarlosmontes]

Props and thanks millions for making your music ever-so-quiet in the background of your video. Generally, I hate non-value adding music in a video that's not there for the musical content. You did a great job not making it an annoyance. Thanks for answering my tech questions! Cheers :)

[@ThEkILlA210895]

definitely a thumbs-up for being thorough and to mention all the different pop-ups for different windows versions! i love the extra cautiousness and information!

[@ddmr44]

Thank you for the clear, concise instructions AND visuals! I searched all over for a visual, read a manual, and had no idea the cable came apart from the plug end! Duh.

[@danielpalomares4631]

Thanks for the video babbling boolean. Helped me sync desktop adobe files to my tablet adobe files. Now I'm searching to add a portable printer to my tablet. Thank you again.

[@shilohschultz9236]

Thanks man! I know how to do this but you see I wasn't using the wire that came with my phone and now I switched it so it's working great for me!

[@christinemccaffrey6663]

You explain so down to earth & not as fast as others. Greatly appreciated

[@blessbeloved]

This was very helpful... I've been struggling to get these videos loaded for a LONG time! Thank you... it worked :).

[@jocelynetremblay832]

Thanks you so much. I have been searching for half an hour for a solution. Simply unlocking my screen solved my problem with accessing my pics.

[@karlcobragaming7208]

Thanks For the info i couldnt have uploaded my video in pc if it wasnt for this.Thanks alot!!!I hope more information to come

[@duschgel8960]

Thank you!! This is really helpful even though I already know how to connect it I didn't know how phone drive will appear in my laptop. I am so thankful for this so much.

[@debbieminton5885]

Around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="153">2:33</a> you went into hyper drive and I could not understand a word you said, but I think you jump started my own thinking to get me where I needed to be! Ha! Thank you!

[@meb6450]

You're so thorough. Thank you for that!

[@DilSnaps]

I love how he spent 2 minutes explaining how to plug a phone into a computer

[@Babblingboolean]

[@lashaunda2066]

Great video! after hours of searching my computer and watching other videos I finally find yours. You were right, all I needed was the right usb cable. I suggest trying every usb phone cable.

[@p35744m]

Thank You Man...I almost paid 40.00 for an unnecessary app called "anytrans" to do what you showed me I can do all on my own.

THANK YOU!!

[@akwaabab8504]

thank you, thank you, thank you! with your help i was able to get large files off of my phone and upload them onto my desktop computer.

[@richardgregory3684]

On some phones, when you connect them to the PC, they will not show up. This is because they are using the USB exclusively for charging. It's actually a security measure, to enable file transfers you have to go to the Android device - usually it shows up as an event "Using USB for charging", tap on that and there should be an option to change it to "Transfer Files" (or something similar to that, sometimes they call files "photos" of whatever). As soon as you enable this, Windows should ping and recognise the Android device as a storage device, and after that, you can copy files back and forth as you please. It's a pain in the butt, but as I said, it;s a security feature. It's very unintuitive, would be way better if you got a popup on the phone saying "Do you want to use the USB for just charging, or to transfer files to/from a computer?". My Moto phone is like this and I had to trawl through KZbin finding explanatory videos

[@darshannannar]

Hey! Thanks so much for this video!

[@BATERO1975]

[@becauseofkarma2913]

I appreciate that you took the time to show EVERYTHING! I know for some people it seems redundant, but there are so many videos out there already! It's nice that someone took the time to explain everything! Much appreciated!

[@ntounisbisbos3565]

Thanks it helped very much

[@timkuen]

I just have to say this. In your video when you pulled out your cable from your charging unit, you pulled on the wire. Never pull on the wire to disconnect anything. Always pull on the connector it self unless you are looking for future troubles. This applies to any plug on any cord whether it is a 120 volt appliance or an extension cord or any electrical device of any kind. Never pull on the cord. You will end up pulling wires out of the connectors and you will only know what you have done when it stops working and you have to buy a new one.
