I have a Nokia 1 with a 16GB micro SD card set as internal storage. This means that I cannot simply pull the micro SD card out of the phone and insert it into a PC. Data transfer with Bluetooth is slow and transferring with a USB cable was a terrible experience until I discovered how to do it properly. Basically I couldn't transfer multiple file types at one go. So instead, for example I have to transfer the jpg files first followed by mp4 files.
I also created steps that might help.
1. Sort out photos and videos on Nokia 1 with a file explorer. Personally recommend ES File Explorer. Move all the photos and videos you want to transfer out of the computer by moving the files into a dedicated folder
2. Plug phone into a PC with decent micro USB cable. Recommend using the cable that came with the phone.
3. Ignore message "Using USB to transfer files?" by pressing cancel.
4. Pull down notifications and tap on "Android system USB charging this device".
5. Then tap "tap for more options.".
6. Select Transfer files.
7. On a PC, browse to the dedicated folder you created in step 1.
8. Copy one file type at a time.
9. Unplug.
Thanks, it worked a treat.

I'm running CM7 stable 7.0.3 off an SD card. I would like to put videos on my NC, but the only way I know how is to shut down, remove the card, reboot back to stock, hook my NC up to my computer, and load the video into the video folder in My Files.
Is there an easier way to get videos into my Nook?
Thanks.
Why can't you just plug the USB cable/charger cable into your computer and click on the "mount USB" option? You won't be able to use the programs and stuff, but it should mount, right?
If not that, you can download a program called "Samba Network File Share" that will allow you to connect to it over a wireless network. I've used this before, but it is painfully slow. Took about 10 minutes to move a 500mb video file.
Another option I like and use a lot is SwiFTP, free in the market:

Fire it up and use any FTP client software on your computer. Transfer speeds are a bit slower than USB but not bad. Don't forget to turn off the FTP server when you are finished!
I have no idea what OS your computer is running, but my preferred option is using scp on the command line.
Just plug your Nook into your PC and in the Notifications should be "USB Connected". Just tap that and you should have a USB Mount option.
If that doesn't work here's an App someone on XDA made for the Nook. Use it to Mount the Nook's "Media" partition and the SD's 4th partition.

I got a NC up and running CM7 of Micro SD card - followed the directions on the Mega thread to get er done.
Everything's worked great so far - using Amazon app store. But I wanted to try out a pdf reader - and my PC won't recognize my device via USB cable. So I pulled out formatted card - and saw it was mostly empty - so I dragged and dropped a .pdf document onto the MicroSD via card reader.
Logged onto my NC to grab a pdf reader to see if the file transferred - and now my Amazon App store says there are no apps compatible with my device. Everything I have on there - works fine - I just can't add any new Apps via Amazon. Is that because I clicked and dragged. I even deleted .pdf file and Amazon app store still isn't working. Perhaps Amazon is just having a technical glitch - I can always double check tomorrow a.m.
I can always start over - as I'm a greenhorn - but figured I'd try and learn something in the process...
* So - did I do a ( no-no ) with my drag and drop data file onto uSD card.
* What's the best way to transfer files from PC to NC device. I'm thinking of trying bluetooth next - if that's a good route - or is there a better way to do it < as I'd have to get a BT dongle to test out that >
If you followed verygreen's SD card install of CM7, you should be able to simply plug the NC into your computer via the stock USB cable. For me when I did this last night I saw two removable drive devices show up on the computer immediately.
Once connected, open your notification bar and say yes to enable USB mode. After you've done this, give it a minute and the removable drives on the computer should refresh and have actual names like MyNookColor and CM7 SDCard. Try opening them up.
I used the CM7 SDCard drive and went into the downloads folder and created subdirectories for music, videos, etc. You should now be able to drag n drop PDFs from the computer to the drive. When you're all done, very important... Right-click on both devices and eject the drive. After you've ejected, do safely remove, but do NOT disconnect the cable yet. After Windows says it's safe, I went back to the NC and turned off USB mode, THEN I disconnected the cable.
That worked for me last night, I hope it works for you.
Good luck!
Awesome,
Worked like a charm,
Thanks
Coming from n3, i have a bunch of stuff to transfer from my sd card, like about 10gb of music for example, whats the easiest way? Tried a couple of wifi apps but none of them worked on my nexus.
I usually use a USB OTG cable or USB directly to my windows PC. Copy files from old device to PC then from PC to new device.
Hi ,can anyone recommend a good app for copying/ moving file on an Android device? My Razor2 is rooted, I'm having trouble copying, moving, or transferring files between the system, internal sd, and external sd card.
The Android system sucks, is slow and sometimes hangs up in definitely. Some app don't even see the usb sd cards.
I've used Root Explorer for awhile and I've liked it a lot.
I'll give it a try. It utilizes the external SD card and the USB port, both?

Not sure about the USB port, but it does have access to the external SD.
Solid explorer. It's been my exclusive file manager since like 2012.

I have used it before too. I mostly use Es File Explore. Had very good luck with it. But Android Os has made it very difficult, unreliable, to moving files especially to otg drives. If the aap even see's the drive. I've ftied both last night, and again they don't see the usb otg drive plugged into the phone. The Files system app does. I even had the razor 2 format the drive, but no fix. Moving multiple files with system File app always hangs up indefinitely.
Google's Android Os ain't what it used to be!
I use solid explorer it's a solid file manager!
When I connect my note9 to my laptop (windows 10) it automatically gets mounted as Galaxy device. When I enter to Galaxy, it shows 128 Internal storage as flash disk and show all files and folders in it. But copy/paste data (image and others) to/from this location which laptop is extremely slow. 28GB data shows several hours to complete and sometimes it doesn't completed successfully.
I used to get handsets storage directly as flash storage to the windows in my older devices (xperia, oneplus etc.) and data transfer rate was awesome. Now in my Note9, is there any option to get the Internal storage directly as flash disk in windows so that data transfer is as it is flash disk/pendrive.

Are you using the cable your phone came with or a cheap aftermarket cable? Maybe just try another cable. When I plug my phone into my computer (Windows 10), it comes up as Note9 on Windows Explorer, and under that are two folders, one for internal storage and the other for my MicroSD card.
Secondly, do you have a case on your phone? What kind? Reason I'm asking, is because I have a ZeroLemon case, which when you put it on, plugs into the USB Type-C port. Therefore when I plug my phone into my computer, it goes through the case before it goes to the phone. In otherwords, the case may bottleneck (slow down) the transfer speed. I do know that DEX does not work with my case, which makes me think that it also negatively affects transfer speeds, as well.
One other option for file transfer that I've found is to set your phone up as an FTP server, which is actually easier than what you may think. I use an app called File Manager (this one). Basically, you would use this File Manager app to "Start" the FTP server, and then on your computer, you navigate to your phone's FTP Address using Windows Explorer. Once you start the FTP server option, it tells you what URL to visit on your computer, and once you do, you'll see your internal storage. You must be on the same Home Wi-Fi for this to work. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a way to Read/Copy To/From a MicroSD card using this method, as the FTP seems to only let you access your Internal Storage. Just be advised, and I haven't taken the time to confirm this, but if you start your FTP on your own home Network, I suppose it could be visible to any device on your network.
I am also interested in this issue and I want my note9 to be defined as a memory card, as it is VERY CONVENIENT !! JOSHSKORN is
dibil because he did not give the right answer !! please, help!
