I've done everything correctly, when I click dcim and the folder I want to transfer, the pictures never loads. There's a green loading sign at the top of the screen. Never shows my picture files
I've noticed this happens sometimes. For some reason, I had to restart my Chromebook, and then the images load properly (after several restarts). I believe this is a software issue that can be fixed with an update, if you receive it. My Pixelbook doesn't seem to do this anymore, but I think it's because it was fixed with an update.
@@TechCrackedWeekly my computer claims to have updated, but im on my third restart and still only get the green loading bar when i try to view anything on my phone
THANKS, it was useful but.... PLEASE expand the window to show the device / chromebook screenshot at maximum size. Thats what we need to see, not your desk and the back of your chromebook. Look at this from your viewer's point of view - what do they need to see large and in detail? Thank you.
Hi Sarosh, That is excellent feedback and I truly appreciate it. I'll look into doing this most certainly in future videos. Thanks for your comment and watching. 🙂
All I ever get is pending. nothing ever moves forward. 2 different phones 2 different chromebooks. I can't understand how a samsung google (android) can't communicate with a google chromebook. (because as usual I have all day to troubleshoot problems: Sarcasm)
very helpful info worked perfectly. when i hit alt and mouse there was actually an option to paste folder which is what i did. put the photos i wanted into a folder then cut the folder and pasted to downloads.thanks for tutorial. it saved me a lot of time.
OTG adapter when to use? S7 micro B port did not like getting connected to Chromebook after upgrading to CB Pro with C port. An OTG comes with the S10 too. What is the best and safest method to cable connect Android micro port to CB C port?
Hi M Mesmer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you are trying to connect a micro usb cable to a USB-C port. What you can do is either purchase a new cable OR you can buy an adapter tip that changes the micro usb portion to USB-C. They have these on Amazon. Hope this helps!
Just wanting to transfer my Google Photos over to my Chromebook. Every picture I take, or every video I record goes immediately/automatically into my Google Photos. Haven't really tried doing this yet, but I would like to ask if this will actually work with my Google Photos? If not, ir there another way I could transfer?
Isnt there a samsung app like fot windows with a one click import button? For the less tech savvy User this is a recipe for photos missing and accidentally drag and drop wrong etc
Hey I'm trying to transfer videos from my chromebook to my android. I used a usb cable received the notification on my phone and when I drag the file it just that the transferation is pending but it never starts it just stays at 0%.
I tried exact the way you said and I get the message "Copy operation failed. The file or the directory is not usable". I checked on forums online and got nothing. My Chromebook is up to de and has lots of storage. Please help....
What if my phone doesn't have the notification that its charging? I'm plugged in, my usb port works because I was just using it for a wireless mouse but when I plug my phone into it nothing happens.
@@TechCrackedWeekly no but I got it working. For whatever reason it just refused to work that day so I figured out a work around and then the next day I plugged it in again and it worked. Same cord, same port, same phone and same computer.
i could not access anything on dcim from my chromebook but i could from my phone so using my phone i moved all of my pics to a new file then plugged it back in to the laptop and it let me transfer them
Hi Talento, Do you another cable you can try? I have found this nasty be happening because of specific cables. If you've already tried this, please let me know. 🙂
Question-I have a small dialogue box in the right corner that keeps showing the % to complete but is taking a loooong time finishing. Is that normal? Thanks
this kinda annoying.. it worked just like that 2 weeks ago, and today.. the option "charging via usb never pops up. just "charging" nothing about via usb.. please help why is this the case
Sup man! Thanks for the help. I've got my photo/video on my chromebook, but for some reason it's not showing my video. When I click on it doesn't show the video, just the sounds. Do you know any solutions? Thanks.
At the end of your file name, what format do you have? For example, if your file name ends with .mp3, the OS may be treating your video like a song and only playing the audio.
Hi Dominguez, I have an idea! Have you tried connecting your computer to another display, like a TV? If you can do this, you can see the computer screen and get to all the information you need. 🙂
@@demonspawneryt9160 thats exaclty what ive done lol Im right tho he was my friend and i was over at his house and he was showing me how to do this id be looking at the screen not him he made the important stuff to see small, the the stuff that you never need to see huge lol its real constructive criticism
I transfer my picture to Chromebook Samsung and when I open again. I go to File and all the pictures is gone ..how I get all my picture back? 3times I tried and I get back all my parents.
Hi Rose, Once your phone is connected to the Chromebook via USB cable you should be able to pull down from the top of the screen twice on your smartphone (it may have to be unlocked) and you should see an option at the end of your notifications for USB options.
@@TechCrackedWeekly Hi thanks,. I have Google Pixel 3a phone and Acer CB311 Chromebook with latest updates. I had them connected with a new USB to C cable. I spent hours Friday trying to get the phone and chromebook to connect. Google 's helpline offered ideas that didn't work; ditto Chrome's helpline. For a moment the laptop photos page had an Upload button and I managed to upload one pix. Then nothing I did got the button back so again I as screaming at them both. I as about to give up and order a Windows laptop when finally I stumbled on the real simple quick way. First, unplug the new unnecessary usb to phone cable as its not needed. Second, make sure phone Bluetooth is enabled. Third, restart phone and chromebook. Fourth, take a pix. It is loaded into phone memory but screen shows no inkling of this. Fifth, click off photos back to start screen and look for the photos album icon and open to see the pix is there but small size. Sixth, click on the pix and it enlarges and a cloud icon appears at top. Seventh, click on the cloud and a 'Uploading' popup appears. Eightth, open chromebook and click the target icon at bottom left. Click on the Photos button. Pix appears as newest pix in personal album! Ninth, click on pix and it enlarges and edit or delete options appear. This method takes about 20 seconds per pix as a single pix but a series of pix probably only take a couple of minutes.. Really quick and simple - so why doesn't Google or Chromebook know and advise it!
Hi Evelyn, If you open the files folder on Chrome OS (normally located in the bottom bar where apps are), you can place them in that folder. You can also create new folders to help with organization, which is what I'd recommend. 🙂
Don't get the USB preferences pop up, phones connected, can see a tiny display at the bottom right, can see my last 3 photos on it, can reply to Whatsapp, can't move a single file. Man give me two devices 20 years ago and I could make transfers, how can this be such a mystery? It's like it's designed to be difficult.
Hi Skully, Sorry for the delayed response. Hopefully these tips help (if you haven't tried them already): 1. Restart your chromebook 2. Try a different cable 3. Flip the cable around 4. Restart your phone
Great video as usual Leon... I think you should check out WiFi Explorer Pro from the playstore. You can do this and more wireless . I have been using it for years. I have the pro version.. I have zero complaints about the app. The developer is dooblou.

can i import photos from my amazon fire tablet 10 to my chromebook 15? they are either in my email address or photo gallery
You should be able to do so by email certainly.
You may need a sync cable to transfer them from the tablet to the Chromebook.
You have any videos that shows u doing the opposite?
