Transfer Files from PC to Phone in Folders

I am trying to move a folder that contains several subfolders to my S10+ while maintaining the original folder architecture, but every time I make the transfer and try to view the files, it displays the files that were in each subfolder with no organization.

e.g. Folder A contains subfolder 1 and 2; subfolder 1 contains files a and b, and subfolder 2 contains files c and d. Upon transferring folder A, the phone will only show files a, b, c, and d with no organization.

Does anyone know how to make this work?

Thank you!

Interesting that you arent able to do this. There is a handy app, literally called Computer that lets you browse your phone similar to a pc file system. I wonder if that would help or if it would recognize the structure.

Solid Explorer from the play store via wifi
^^^or really an file explorer with WiFi support should do it. Another option is a cloud storage system like Dropbox or Google Drive. Both have free options with the benefit that your files and structure will stay synced between your phone and computer (e.g. you add subfolder 3 with files e & f on your computer it would automagically get sync'd to your phone).
