How to download photos from mobile to PC?

We live in the digital age and the best proof of this is photographs. Far are analog cameras and taking thousands of photos on paper. Today, most of our photos are stored on our phones and in the cloud, but what if we want to put a photo in one of our frames? or what if we lose the information? It is worth keeping them on our PC, to organize them or choose the best one that we want to show off at home. To do this, we give you a few simple steps so that you can do it without problem.

For Android mobiles

If you have a mobile with Android system, the first thing you should do is connect the mobile to the PC using the same charger cable and press the option where it says “see more options”. At that time, the mobile will let you know what you want to do when you connect to the computer and you must select the File transfer option and you will be able to access the device’s storage from the PC to search and select your photos.

What if I have an iPhone?

Connect the iPhone to the computer with the cable and the option to open device to view files will automatically appear on the screen. From that moment you will be able to consult the internal storage of the iPhone.

Inside the DCIM folder are all the photos available on your mobile and even the ones you have in the cloud. Those that have been taken with your mobile are the folder called Apple.

I forgot the cable, what do I do?

There are applications that allow us to download photos from mobile to PC without the need for a cable.

If you work with Windows, you have the app “Your phone”. Sign in with your Microsoft account and link your phone by following the steps. You will receive an SMS to download the Your Phone Companion app and log in. Accept the permissions to be able to use the application’s functionalities.

Once open, you will simply have to drag the photos you want to your desktop.

The Telegram app is also an option to send photos to the computer without cable. To do this, go to the option “Saved messages” and send photos to yourself by clicking on the clip.

There are many other options like OneDrive, iCloud, and even Amazon Drive or DropBox. But if you allow us a recommendation, we encourage you to try Google Photos, without a doubt, one of the simplest and easiest to use apps.
