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

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: 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?

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

gdeanmcfarland said: There is a very easy way to do this without using a USB cable, you choose the picture or pictures you want to transfer to your computer go to the menu for the camera and choose the "Share" button. From the drop down menu choose the method of share you want to use. The easiest one is the "GMAIL" option, this will open an "email" Message with the photographs already attached to the message, Email them to your self open the email on your computer and save the pictures

Someone said: how can you do this without having to email them to yourself?

Connect phone to your computer with a USB cable. Press the notification bar and drag down. Select USB Connected. Select Mount. Use the computer to copy pictures into the folder that you created on the microSD card. You can use subfolders on the microSD card to organize your pictures or you can simply copy the picture files to the top level of the microSD card.
