    Hi ArRios,

    This has been bugging me for a while, too. However, there is a workaround.

    Open your phone screen within the Phone Link app, then open the Gallery and navigate to the photos you want to transfer.

    Now, grab your phone, swipe the screen to turn it on and select the photos you want.

    Go back to your pc and drag the photos from the phone screen to wherever you want.

    You need to hold your mouse button down for a bit before you start dragging to get the drag to start.

    I was able to transfer them in batches of fifty.

    Thanks, Sam! That worked for me on my Galaxy S22. You're a genius!

    Hi,

    unfortunately it works only with Samsung mobiles. On my old S10e it works perfectly, but it doesn't work on my new Xiaomi 12. Second thing is: if i download it from gallery app, then the phot quality is as original one, if i copy from Phone link then it is compressed.

    It is possible, contrary to popular belief. (Tested on Samsung S21Ultra with Gallery App). It does NOT work on the Google Photos App

    1. On the Phone Link App on your PC and open up the gallery app. It may prompt you to enable screen sharing on your phone. Accept that prompt.
    2. Hold left click on the photos until the select photos appear
    3. Drag select the items you wish,

    3a. For best results, Left click and drag left then down in a fast motion. Only do this per page

    3b. Alternatively, single left click to select individual photos

    3c. Max number of photos seems to be 99

    1. Once you're happy with your selection, Left Click and hold one of the selected photos until the photo sort of appears out with a small number on the top left, showing total number of photos.

    4a. Ensure that the popped out photo is clear and not translucent

    1. Drag it over to your PC, preferably into an empty folder. A copy icon will appear.

    5a. You may need to wiggle your mouse a little until the copy icon appears

    1. Let go and watch your photos transfer.
    2. Repeat this for your next 99 photos.

    Caveat: In the situation your PC freezes up, or something looks like it goes wrong, close the Gallery App on your PC and start again.

    It's a little buggy, but it does work.

    Hi Sam, possibly you are working from an Apple phone but I am unable to open the phone face on my app.
