How to Transfer Photos from Samsung Phone to USB Drive (Best Method)

The most direct and convenient method to transfer photos from a Samsung Galaxy phone to a USB drive is by using a USB On-The-Go (OTG) adapter and the phone's built-in My Files app. This allows you to transfer files without needing a computer. Here is a step-by-step guide: What You'll Need Samsung Galaxy Phone (which supports USB OTG—most modern models do). USB Flash Drive (Ensure it has enough free space). USB OTG Adapter or Cable: If your phone has a USB-C port (common on newer phones) and your flash drive is USB-A (the standard rectangle shape), you'll need a USB-C to USB-A adapter/cable. If you have a dual-drive USB stick (USB-C on one end, USB-A on the other) or a USB-C flash drive, you may not need a separate adapter. Step-by-Step Transfer Guide Connect the USB Drive: Plug the USB flash drive into the USB OTG adapter (if required). Plug the adapter/drive into your Samsung phone's charging port (usually a USB-C port). Your phone should recognize the drive and a notification will appear, often labeled "USB Storage" or something similar. Open the File Manager App: Navigate to the Samsung folder on your phone's Apps screen. Open the My Files app (this is the built-in file manager on Samsung phones). The connected USB drive should appear under the Storage section, often listed as "USB Storage". Locate Your Photos: In the My Files app, tap on Internal Storage (or SD card, if your photos are saved there). Photos taken with your camera are typically stored in the DCIM folder, and then the Camera sub-folder. Other photos might be in folders like "Downloads," "Pictures," or folders for social media apps. Select the Photos to Transfer: Tap and hold one photo or the entire folder (like the DCIM folder) you want to transfer. To select multiple photos, tap on the circles/checkboxes that appear next to the files. There's often a "Select all" option at the top of the screen if you want to copy everything in the folder. Copy or Move the Files: After selecting your files, look for the options at the bottom of the screen: Tap Copy to duplicate the files (keeping them on your phone and putting a copy on the USB drive). Tap Move to transfer the files (deleting them from your phone to free up space, and putting them on the USB drive). Paste to the USB Drive: Tap the Back arrow or navigate back to the My Files home screen. Tap on USB Storage. (Optional) You can create a new folder on the USB drive to keep your photos organized. Tap "Copy here" or "Move here" (depending on the option you chose in Step 5) to begin the transfer. ... Twitter: https://twitter.com/YourSixStudios?la...
