Step 1: Connect your Samsung smartphone to your computer
The first thing you need to do is connect your Samsung smartphone to your computer. Use the USB cable that came with your phone to establish the connection. Once connected, ensure that your phone is in File Transfer mode to enable data transfer between your phone and computer.
Step 2: Access the file explorer on your computer
Next, open the file explorer on your computer. This could be Windows Explorer on Windows or Finder on Mac. You should be able to see your connected Samsung smartphone listed as a device or a drive.
Step 3: Locate and select the photos you want to download
In the file explorer, navigate to the location where your photos are stored on your Samsung smartphone. This is usually in the “DCIM” or “Pictures” folder. Once you have located the folder, simply select the photos you want to download by clicking on them while holding down the Ctrl key (or Command key on Mac) to select multiple photos.
Step 4: Copy the selected photos to your computer
After selecting the desired photos, right-click on one of them and choose the “Copy” option. Then, navigate to the desired location on your computer where you want to save the photos. Right-click once again and select “Paste” to copy the photos from your Samsung smartphone to your computer.
Step 5: Safely disconnect your Samsung smartphone from your computer
Once the photo transfer is complete, it’s essential to disconnect your Samsung smartphone from your computer safely. Go to the system tray on your computer, find the “Safely Remove Hardware” (Windows) or “Eject” (Mac) icon, and click on it. Choose your Samsung smartphone from the list of devices and wait for the notification confirming it is safe to disconnect your phone.
