Hi,

 

If you need to copy/transer files bettween your Android phone and your Windows computer, please try

 

Move files by USB

  1. Unlock your Android device.
  2. With a USB cable, connect your device to your computer.
  3. On your device, tap the "USB for..." notification.
  4. Select Transfer files.
  5. A file transfer window will open on your computer. Use it to drag files.
  6. When you're done, eject your device from Windows.
  7. Unplug the USB cable.

What if there is NO notification? I plug into my work laptop and am asked if I want to download files. I plug into my home laptop and get nothing. This used to work.

I have an android and am running Windows 7
