SOLVED: VIDEO: How To Copy Pictures From My Samsung Android Cell Phone To My PC
This post is for my dad. He keeps forgetting to unlock his phone before he tries to copy the pictures. Below is are the simple instructions how to copy your pictures from your Android phone to your computer:
Power on your cell phone (if it is off)
Connect your cell phone to your PC using a USB cable
Unlock your cell phone.
That just means you should swipe the lock screen or enter your password / pin
If you are not looking at the cell phones home screen, you can not get access to your pictures
On your COMPUTER, start the File Explorer
Click the yellow folder icon on the taskbar, or
Click the START button and type FILE, then click FILE EXPLORER
Click THIS PC (if that is not where you are already)
Click on the name of your phone
This can be literally anything but typically defaults to the manufactures name like SAMSUNG S7
Double click on the only thing that appears, which on Samsung phones will likely be PHONE
Double click the DCIM folder
Right Click on the CAMERA folder and select COPY
If you want to remove the pictures from your cell, select CUT instead of COPY
