Quickest and Easiest Way to Transfer Files from Android Phone to PC or MAC 

The intro ends at 0.30 for who are in rush..thank me later..

This solved my year long dilemma of not being able to get multiple photos out of my Samsung Galaxy S7 into my Mac. I've had to do them one by one, requiring constant vigilance. The tip about the Samsung thumb drive solved all that, plus the informative video helped immeasurably. I came back from a trip and now all 800 photos are in my computer where I can work with them and share them. I can't thank you enough.

THANK YOU! I thought I was just stupid, but now see that it IS hard. The transfer thumb drive is fantastic!

Finally someone that made the explanation soooo simple. Thank you very much.

Your introduction is artistic... but I wish you would go straight to the video

I followed your instructions and purchased the flash drive and FINALLY! moved my photos & files from my phone to my laptop. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I recommended your video to my daughter for her phone too.

This is an EXCELLENT video providing clear steps to accomplish File Transfer. I strongly recommend it.

Thanks for your video. I want to know if I can use the micro usb adapter on iphone,

I didn't know the drive existed for USB C until this video. Huge Time saver as I was doing the phone to drive...and then download to my PC option. Way too many steps. So, thanks!

finally now i know why my new samsung have a small usb to c-type converter in it. it was for the USB flash drive LOL Thanks Man

Intro is way too long. But thanks for the info about the Duo. Game changer for me!

Tysm for this I've been spending a whole year trying to figure out how to clear my storage

this video was extremely helpful!!! Thank you.

Thank you for this more direct approach to transfer of photos etc from phone to PC. You referred to Samsung Galaxy 6 and 7. Presumably this adapter will work with Samsang SG9 as well?

Clever, simple and direct to the point. Be Good!

can you wirelessly transfer files from an android phone...not thru a drive as you demonstrated but thru Bluetooth as I saw done on a mac to transfer files from an i phone to a mac book? I use an android phone and was thinking of getting a mac book and wondering if this file transfer feature will be available to me since i have an android phone.Wondering too if I am better off sticking with a Microsoft surface windows 10 pc so that it is more compatible with my android phone.I just dont know a lot about this so any help and suggestions you can offer is much appreciated.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR INTRO!!!!!! How did you do that? What program did you use? Do you have a video teaching that?

This is BRILLIANT! Because, you can be sure to catch everything if you go through all your apps, one by one, collecting docs from each as well as going through your usual locations on the phone using a file manager. Problem with File managers is they often don't reveal document files created by apps (an example might be the images created by joke apps such as baldify and ageify.) BEST OF ALL: I don't have to worry about navigating my way around the file structure used by the phone! I have needed to do this because I found there are files scattered all; over the place, most of which are not shown by simply plugging in a USB cable to connect the phone to the PC. Just one drawback using this method: I still cannot access .apk files that I might want to transfer to other phones. There are programs like ACR which used to work well before law changes forced Google to break these apps in recent incarnations. Cannot get older versioins from app store. SO only way is to keep functioning older versions from your phone. So if anyone knows a workaround, please share! Thanks!

This is a most informative video. I learned of the USB Flash Drive Duo. Keep up the good work and thanks very very much.

Congrats on the new intro, it's really nice! I use the google drive method by the way ;) You should maybe do a more elaborate video on that?

Hello.. Thank you for the Video. I have the latest LG Stylo 4.. i bought a external USB-memory stick , with a phone adapter.. ( Problem ) I plug it in and the phone doesn't register an extrnal USB stick... I've tried everything in this video. nothing in my setting to do this.. Any Advice ??.. Thanks.Michael Z

thank you , off to get one if able to in Australia, im always worried that i will lose all my contacts phone numbers. hoping this will work for this as well as photos

Second option, can be done with a USB on-the-go adapter of $0.24 and any usb stick you want. You can also transfer files with bluetooth or FTP directly from the device.

Thank you for your very clear instructions. Are the instructions any different for the Galaxy S8? I am struggling with this phone!

Thank you Dani, I could not find any info about tranferring files from a phone to a USB-C. Watched your tutorial and did it easy!!😍

Please Help me out....The large USB end of the device is female and the connection on my PC is also female. They do not make a USB male to male cord that I have ever seen. So how do I connect this to the USB connection on my PC? Also, I have a Samsung S3 phone. The app that you said automatically comes on. What do I do if it does not come on?

In terms of formatting of the Memory stick as copied from Android, does those videos show up when the stick is inserted on Mac?

Will the flash drive do text messages? If so, what format for s4, to read on computer?

this is good alternative to transfer files from phone to Mac but while you copy data to Micro USB dates are changing. Its problem with chronology when you try add videos to iMovie. Do you have idea guys how slove this problem?

BRILLIANT ADVISE AND INSTRUCTIONS. THANK YOU. CC

can you save contacts from phone to Mac and how do you do it can you please let me know thanks

Excellent! Thank you!

your video is very good & explains the procedure quite clearly.

Hey jeak.com, Can you also transfer samsung s6 edge phone apps using this same method or can it only be media files like photos and video and music ? Thanks

Great information. I'm using it to solve my data/space issue on phone. Cheers!

Totally tech unsavvy old lady here ---- would this work on an LG phone? Where can I get this storage device? Thank you. I have subscribed.

Thanks great video i was looking for that.

Great informative video. Please put a step by step tutorial on how to transfer voicemails from Samsung Gallaxy S7 Edge to a Samsung Mirco usb 3.0 Flash Drive

I want to transfer all messages sent from one person to my computer. Can I do it with that thing or do I need to buy a programme?

Does it work both ways? I found transferring a 1 GB+ video file from PC to phone took 15 minutes. Can I copy my video files onto the USB drive and then plug into the phone and transfer to there?

Very useful, thank you.

Skip to 30 seconds to avoid intro.

Great idea to use USB adapter.

but do tell me what you think, i mean both ends should be male such that one plugs into phone, the other into pc/laptop. also what size is the android male on flashdrive, is it type C , A ?///

Thank You Just what I needed

Hi Danny! Your way of explaining is AWESOME Sir! Thank u SO MUCH!

very very helpful......thank you

Can I use your tip to transfer messages from a Samsung galaxy Note 8? When I plug my phone directly into my computer I can see all my data except for messages.

I like your desciption of transfering fies from your android to you PC I can't afford that thingamabob you had but there are files on my PC and some on my phone that I want to share back and forth, is there another way of doing this... my usb cord doesn't even recognise that it is plugged into my computer, so PLEASE don't suggest that unless you can walk me through it all another way.

I want to go with a different carrier and wipe my phone, so the information like photos and files and contacts are saved. I would like the contents stored on a usb drive, how and what do I use to accomplish the task?

Hey there. How will I be able to do all of this on my Verizon Nokia phone? :)

i love that thumbnail 😂

You remind me of Charles Boyle with those goggles in the intro for some reason hahaha

Very well explained. Thanks

Hi solo her will this work with my s5mini

THANK-U So Much for Sharing this GOD SENT Little devise News with Us. That SUCKS!! that the new phones will Not Link to our PC's Anymore. I can't find the one in your Video Tutorial do you have a link for it?

Can you transfer files from your imac to you S9?

I like you, mister, you have a kind face. Wonderful video.

I like it the way you explained it was much better! Thanks you may God bless!

Wow, epic, waste of time

Thank you. Very helpful 👍🏼

A link to the type of usb drive in the video would have been useful

So according to your instructions, I have to buy that 'thing-of-majig' in order to transfer files/photos from my phone to my computer? Why can't I just use a USB cable?

So where do you get these?

I have a problem, my USB connection with debugging did work but now when I plug a flash drive into my phone, no symbol pops up on the phone like it used to. I pressed the developer button 7 times already & it worked moving files this way but now it won't.

Why is the flash drive different than using a cable? Does the flash drive awaken some prompt which communicates with your laptop- that the cable doesn't? Also I don't think you specifically mentioned text messages, will the flash drive transfer text messages?

Great Idea. I am going out to buy one today.

Thank you very much! Samsung provides no useful info on the use of this drive. I guess they figure most people will search RU-vid for help.

Intro is waaaaay too long but your video is very helpful so thank you 🙂

very well explained video

being struggling for days to move photos to Mac tried anytrans program it is a nightmare

How can I transfer a voice recording off my android phone? I cannot access it or view it, attach it via my email account to transfer it.

very helpful. thanks buddy

if you don't have space on your phone you use a new or bigger memory card, then you move the photos from the memory card to the pc and delete them from your memory card.... that flash usb is still useful, as it gives an extra place in which to save your photos...

Would have been helpful to provide a link for it

audials load files from phone to pc can you help me cant find the mp3 files at all thanks

cool device, I jumped strait to vid but artistic work looked creative.

where can you get this USB drive

GReat explenation great help thank you

Great video!

Very helpful thank you

Does this work the other way around, like if I want to transfer files from my laptop onto my phone?

Ty very much love it very. Simple and useful 👌

when did you leave amazon?

Excellent. Bro Gud job

It says transfer from phone so I'm assuming this wont work with my samsung tablet is that accurate? I'm hoping not but why wouldnt you explain otherwise if so or simply clarify? BTW while I agree the intro confused me a bit as to the videos content because I didnt expect it to last as long as it did, 30 seconds is nothing..... I'm 3 minutes into this video and I still dont know if this works with my tab s3 🥴

Can it copy a program file from phone to my laptop

Where is a link to buy product for ZTE ZMAX z982

Very useful

Can you do this with your contacts?

This would have been a good video - but you mentioned if you have a Samsung S7 do it a little differently, then just dropped us after that. First of all - once in the 'File', my device did not display the word 'photo' or 'images'........so could not proceed. I went to USB storage 1 - but images or photo's did not appear so was not able to choose. This is typical of tutorials though.

thank you sir, this video dual connectors memory stick is a great idea.

Can I copy texts I have received by using this method?

I have a samsung galaxy s7. Would this apply for my phone? Great video by the way!

Thats one long intro I clicked away after 20 seconds

What about the J series?

What phone are you using? Im using the galaxy 7 and when i plug in the flash drive it doesn't let access any content

sir where can I get this usb for Samsung s8

I thought the usb device which i load all my photos from phone, into.... I can put usb into laptop to view my photos from phone on the laptop. I don't have to download them into the laptop. Right?! thankyou

How do you put back your photos on to your phone?
