YES. Open your phone to photos first!

It works with any Android phone and it's simple to use. With an adapter cable it will work with an Apple phone also. If you decide to get one post here and I will walk you through using it. I take it on vacation so I can copy pictures from my camera to a tablet for backup and use it any time I need to copy files. Not only pictures, but any file.

I used it last week to copy pictures from friends phones to a PC and a Mac. Took very little time.

But it's related to google, my account with gmail, and my drive. Messy. But in the meantime, my phone does not connect with the USB cord. I mean the phone connects but nothing comes up on the computer. Yes -- it's possible I'll just give the stuff away and be done with it. It's not like I really need the money. I'll try to let you know how this works out.
I can't figure a lot of stuff out from google, but I will ask more questions later. thanks for trying to help a poor old lady.
This is what happens to me. As a techie I find it very frustrating.

In addition to opening up photos on your phone, try opening up your photo program on your computer also before you connect the usb cable.

"This folder is empty" in Windows Explorer.

Very frustrating. I've trying different things for a couple of years (since I bought the phone) and nothing works, not even the app that Samsung provides.

Can you find "Windows Live Photo Gallery" on your computer? It should be listed in "All Programs".

What program do you store your photos on in your computer?

OK. What happens when you try to upload from your phone? Do you get a window that pops up and asks a question about where to send the photos?
