file transfer on Android 10

do you have the right drivers for your moto phone on your pc? never had a moto phone, but there should be specific drivers for the phone.

also check your cables.

 

If the phone was updated, maybe you need to update the Windows drivers for it? Just a guess.

 

I know that my phone, upon plugging it in, defaults to charging only, and I need to go to settings > Bluetooth and device connection to make it available to the computers file system, perhaps the update took you back to a default state on that.

 

Are you dead-set on using cables, Pedro Vera?

I transfer files throughout the day, from and to my Android devices and computers--and I haven't used a cable in eons. I use Wi-Fi, which is much more convenient.

If you're interested in sharing files without cables, let us know! There's nothing difficult involved, nor do you need drivers or special software.

 

You bet!

First, you need a good file manager on Android; my hands-down favorite is MiXplorer Silver. Please see this post and thread for more info, including pics of MiXplorer giving me access to my computers.

Your computer(s) and Android device(s) must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Your computer(s) must be networked, i.e., their drive(s) must be shared. I only use Linux so someone else will have to step in if you're in need of help with that.

That's it! You're good to go. As you'll see in my pics, my computers' drives are available to me in my file manager just as if they were local. Also, some file managers give you a completely separate way of transferring files; in this case, they're more like Airdroid, using a web browser on the computer to connect to the FM on Android. I never use that method as it's unnecessary for me, but if you have problems networking your computer(s), this would be a viable alternative.
