    I asked this question here, over18 months ago.

    I started a post - probably 3 years ago now.

    MS have actually made it worse

    I was able to use an old laptop - but now the phone won't open in even old Windows

    it opens as Phone Link

    I'm trying to try the option suggested BUT now my phone won't connect and it's saying the QR code is invalid

    more rubbish

    ANYONE WANTING TO TRANSFER MULTIPLE PHOTOS - Connect NOW using your USB to PC or Laptop.

    It will appear because Phone Link is NOT WORKING

    I'm transferring 1,778 photos right this minute (well, probably take an hour) but EVERY photo is getting copied.

    without any problem

    Happening NOW

    PHONE LINK ISN'T WORKING :-)

    Yeah

    You are the hero we need right now. I wonder why this is so hard.

    An Android file manager is my alternative - IMHO a good file manager is something that you need anyway. A working Internet /WLAN connection on your phone is assumed as given.

    My solution, for all current Android Smartphones, requires the following:

    1. Get a cloud storage account - if you do not have already one. Or other target folders, e.g. a NAS folder, that works as well .....
    2. Download and install the X-plore file manager app / get it from the Google play store.
    3. To use the full functionality of X-Plore, donate a tiny bit of money to the developer - and you get the full version.
    4. Use X-plore for the file handling:
    • The window shows two sides: one is the phone file system, the other one could be your NAS or your cloud storage (e.g. your OneDrive after your login to your OneDrive)
    • HINT ONE: Get used to the app, it has the icons in the middle to create folder, etc. // It reminds one of the Norton Commander (NC) with its two file trees ....
    • HINT TWO: Moving files requires to hit the copy button first, then there is a choice between copy and move (NO IDEA why, maybe to save space on small screens???)
    • You can copy/move files back and forth, whenever you have a (stable) Internet connection
    • You can mark and copy/move as many files as you want. I have transferred 250 files and or / gigabytes of files, with one transfer

    Thanks.

    But I can easily put an SD card & transfer without paying for I cloud, which I have no intention of paying anyone a cent for storing my photos - when I want them on my PC

    I've managed to transfer all mine from my phone to my laptop when phone link was down

    Now, I'm saving to an SS card
