I saw some comment/info White66 made on Steve Christiansen's hoist and didn't want to take that thread down a rabbet hole. I just had a couple things to add. I am happy to say, this forum posts pictures right from my files in full size. I am also still able to post images from my photobucket even though I didn't pay them the $399. I do however pay them $2.99 a month for extra storage.

And a question, I have only downloaded from my phone to my computer once and it took all my pictures off the phone. I have S6 galaxy, is there a way to download pictures to the computer and still keep them in the phone too?

 

Plug the phone in with a usb cable. The PC should see it as a drive.

Look for DCIM folder

I highlight my photos, right click & hit copy from the drop down menu.

Open a folder on the PC, right click & choose paste.

I usually resize the originals to 1024 X 768 individually or such and rename the smaller file pic. (edited)

Hope this helps.

 

I followed all the directions on the google search and did end up with all my pictures nicely in a file on the computer, no problem. It's just that they are no longer on the phone after I do that.

 

Using a copy function should not, but if a "cut" function is used it will certainly take the files.

Our cheap J-3 Samsungs are pretty particular, but they leave what I tell them & take what's highlighted to the desktop.

I tend to use older DOS style (traditional view) stuff rather than Windows 8 & up.

Sorry it worked out that way.
