Getting images off Smartphone
« on: Tuesday 24 March 20 15:45 GMT (UK) »
Please . . . does anyone know if it’s possible to get photos off a smartphone (Moto 7 Power) onto a PC without having to use the ubiquitous Google way?   ???



thanks
John

Have you tried plugging the USB into the charging slot on the phone and reading it like a hard drive?

if all else fails, email them to yourself, sometimes easier anyway.

I agree. I've tried most of the methods but e-mailing is often the fastest.

PaulineJ gave you the answer.

Plug it into your computer via a USB cable.

See page 149 of the manual for a detailed how to.

That's what I do!
I then open Windows Explorer and navigate to my phone - which shows under External Devices.
