    It worked for me, but there is more to it than what is mentioned.

    Besides, it is still slow and cumbersome.

    It is still MUCH faster and easier to connect a USB cable and select and copy/transfer photos/files via "hard line" - more so with more files selected ...

    MS seems to continue their negligence - even with their most recent revisions of their PC and phone app

    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

    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
