After you plug your phone usb into your computer, on your phone, drag down to expand that top bar thingy (like when you see new notifications). It should ask you if you want to `mount` your phone to your pc. Select Mount.
Afterwards, when you go to your computer, it should look like an external usb device. and you can try going to computer/Removable disk/DCIM/Camera to see your photos Was this answer helpful?

Someone said: My USB cord has been plugged in to the wall so long. I didn't realize the USB/Cord detaches from the little black box/plug in. So I plugged my USB cord from my Samsung Galaxy S to the computer and followed your instructions and now I have my 518 pics. I have been wanting to see in full view FOREVER... SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER GET TO SEE

rosemary.evans49 said: i do not get that when i drag the top bar thing please help xx
Someone said: thank you SO much.!.xo it worked
Someone said: It worked for me. I couldnt figure it out myself. My SD Card was just about full! THANK YOU!!!
Someone said: i plug mine into the computer and it makes a connected sound but nothing comes up, not on the notifications bit either
Someone said: How about something you don't need internet to work. I dont have data on my phone, so I cant acess the mount thing.
Someone said: thank you you gem!!! i was wondering why my cable was not working xoxoxo
JeffB said: I found my problem to the above posted question. I was using an 'extension plug' to connect to my usb port. One of those "duh" moments. I didn't need it, in this case, it was quicker. But it wasn't connecting well. I removed it, and it was fine. So the problem was only in the connection, not the phone, or procedures. Thanks. Your site is a good resource.
Someone said: God you're clever. I wouldn't have thought to drag down the top part where notifications come in! Thank you very much. Easy......
Someone said: Thank you sooooo much. Easy when you know how!
Someone said: Thank you so much!!!!God Bless you!!!
Someone said: thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!
Someone said: Rubbish phone that I traded my trusty Iphone 3 for. If it isn't going to work for all of them its not much good. Bring on the iPhone 5, QUICK!
Someone said: It worked! Thank you! I was looking for "mass storage" like my old phone did. Uploaded all of my photos from my phone onto my computer..just in case my phone decides to stop working again, and I don't want to lose all of my photos of my daughter!
Someone said: Since I'm just copying some song not downloading, there's no fee right? lol
Someone said: Brilliant...would never have guessed this....thank you x
Someone said: To those users for whom the 'mount drive trick' from your pc does not work.
1)Get hold of your phone. Then go into 'Settings' > "Connect to pc'> ''Default connection type">and select third option called "Disk Drive"
2)Connect your phone through USB to your computer. Your PC will now detect your phone's memory as external drive.
Someone said: thanks bud worked a treat all done in seconds
Someone said: Brilliant, thank you. Worked first time. I can now share photos.
Someone said: thanks it really really works.. excellent
Someone said: Thanks. It worked. Very useful tip
Someone said: What top bar thingy?
Someone said: The usb storage or devise , does not show up on the devises page on my mac . Any tips? Thanks buddy .
Someone said: Thank you! It works!
Someone said: Yep it worked. Thanks for the heads up on how to get them transferred.
Someone said: Thank you for that, I'd been trying for ages to access my pics. Great stuff!!
Someone said: wow Thank-you, so easy!
Someone said: THX it helps!!!!!!! my camera photos locate at DCIM files :D
Someone said: Thanks so much! Even I was able to download my photos in about 5 seconds!
alexgh90 said: When I drag down that thing , it doesnt say anything about USB cable. Now what??
Someone said: Yay thanks all done now. Top tip :)
Someone said: It should say something about file transfer, then when u click it activates the phone as a USB
Thanks it worked perfectly.... Thanks a lot, was strugling from morning...
Someone said: For those of you who couldn't get it to work on your mac, here's what I did:
1. Connect Droid USB cable into computer's USB slot
2. Drag down top bar on droid (the same bar that shows that battery life)
3. It says USB connection, select to manage your USB connection
4. Select Windows Media Share
Your itunes and iphoto should pop up and you can choose what you want to share.
Hope this helps! :)
chomememg said: Very very thank you for your answer. I am now ok by your way.... :)
Someone said: This was very helpful thank you. On my Galaxy S2 there was no "mount" option. However, instead (once I had expanded the top pull-down bar thingy) I had to activate the USB Mass Storage option. It works a treat now and I have transferred my photos to my mac, but I would have never got there without this original post :)
Someone said: Great it worked :-)
Someone said: This didnt work for me...when i drag down the notifications screen it just has options for wifi, bluetooth,gps,vibration,and 4g nothing that ask me to moun(Epic 4g) for sprint...is adding photos from my phone onto my computer not an option for me?
iloveyou_baby100 said: im having the opposite problem. my phone doesnt ask me that anymore when i plug it in. all it does is charge. doesnt ask me if i wanna mount to the computer anymore
Someone said: genialll graciassss!!!!!
Someone said: SP - Thank you very much, worked a treat, looks like a lot of people have had the same success due to you. well done, hope I can help you the same in the future
Someone said: in my phone its not even showing that notification where is the problem am unable to knw
Someone said: thank you :) very helpful!!! it worked :)
Someone said: Mount the Phone...... as simple as that.... Brill
Someone said: how can i transfer files from my galaxy note to my pc if i don't have a memory card inserted. (other than bluetooth which is taking toooooo long to transfer.)
nixneon said: what you have to do is first of all go to this website http://dailysoft.bluesquad.revenuewire.net/stell ar-photo/download Install it and dont worry 100% legit after you have done that go into your phone go App drawer-> settings -> Wireless and Network -> USB Utilities -> choose Mass Storage then plug usb cable into device once done let the computer install whatever drivers it wants, then when done on your phone press connect usb storage. Once that is done load up the photo recovery you just installed then click start and follow the prompts, this can take any where between 30min and a few hours depending on how many photos have been on the phone, also it shows you all the photos and videos it is restoring as it does it. Hope this helps it certainly worked for me (:
Littleh1 said: At last I have managed it! I had to go to Settings then Wireless and Network and USB utilities. I then had a Connect Storage to PC option! Had to remove USB and plug in twice but it worked!!!
Someone said: It worked!!!! Thanks a lot:))))) soooo happy...
Someone said: THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! now, if only the staff at those phone stores knew this, huh?
Someone said: It DOES work on a MAC. I downloaded all my photos via USB into iPhoto. Just choose the option to mount as a drive. Result! Thank you.
Someone said: Your Awesome!! I have been trying to figure this out forever, and it was so easy... Thank You!!
Someone said: Yes it worked straight away - the language on my phone was slightly different - it asked if I wanted to "mount as disc drive", as soon as I did that it downloaded the photos into iphoto. Thanks so much.
Someone said: thank you, it worked in 2 seconds
Someone said: hey it wont work for me ever tried 100's of times
Someone said: Tahnks be to God for your help!!!! It worked but you need to unplug usb then plug it back in again

jenjen00au said: Try using the method I outline below. My method seems to work for some people. You don't plug in the cable until instructed to with my method. Cheers
