Hi guys,

As above. It used to be so simple, hopefully still is and it's just me - I swear it never used to be this difficult!

So, I'm trying to copy about 30GB of data, mainly media, some files/folders/zips from my PC to my Android phone. I've tried several, decent (UGreen/Anker/Baseus) cables, which establish a connection but usually end up failing or timing out etc. I've tried different USB (Type-C) ports and the same issues persist. And it happens with my tablet too, so I know it's not my phone.

I've just bought a dedicated data cable (10GB) because I appreciate that my cables might be highly rated for charging but maybe not data? That arrives Monday.

My work around for now has been to connect a flash drive to my PC, copy the data to that and then copy it to my phone - and visa versa. Seems a bit long winded though.

Thoughts?
