Samsung phones

[Bayard]

I had a Samsung Galaxy 5 for several years, and it easily did what I needed. I just decided to get a new phone when I changed services, a cheaper Samsung, that I make a payment on with my bill every month. I don't remember the model, and don't see it on the phone.

On the old phone, I could connect it to my desktop and download all my new photos. I tried that once with the new one, and it shut down my entire system.

So, I am trying to email a bunch of photos to my desktop, one at a time, and it says, "The recipient inbox is full." That is not the case.

Any help?

1. I used SmartSwitch to

Transfer data from old phone to new phone. I think you can transfer, using wifi or Bluetooth, to a desktop computer

2. Available through

Google play

3. If you swipe down on your home screen you should see a cog in the upper right.

Press it, it is the settings menu. Scroll to the bottom and select the "About Phone" option. It should tell you what phone you have.

4. You could share to a Google drive.

Still a laborious process of uploading your phone images to your Google drive & then downloading to your desktop.

I loved my old Galaxy Note 4! Wow, what a nice phone that was. It was 9 years old when it finally gave out. Now I have a Samsung A14, I think. I bought it online. Never buy a phone you haven't held. The button to bring up the screen is almost undetectable. I hate it but it was a quarter the cost of my old Note 4 & now that I'm retired I couldn't justify the extra cost. It didn't cause any problems when I hooked it to my desktop, though, so there is that. Good luck. I hate tech issues. Why can't it just work?

5. It cost me some money, but I got the PhotoSync app.

It works on android, iPhones, Macs and PC's, and will transfer photos back and forth to any of them.

Not a commercial for it. Just something that I used to help a W****** user transfer photos.

You can look around the Google store. I am sure that there are cheap or free apps that essentially create a web server on your phone and you can use your browser on the PC to download one or many at a time.

Email expands every photo (converts it to ascii) on the way, which at least doubles the size of every photo transferred until it's extracted from your mail.
