Image transfer from sd card to phone

macabee — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 14:30:04 GMT

I use DSLRs for most of my photography, one of my cameras does not have wifi, so I bought the i-flashdevice HD card reader to transfer images to my Samsung a20e.

Unfortunatley the device has no instructions! I understand that an app is not required?

Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreiated

Thanks

@macabee: If you're connecting the i-flashdevice HD card reader via USB, swipe from the top of your A20e screen to the bottom and look for a notification that says 'USB for file transfer'. If it's there, tap on it to bring up a list of available USB options and select 'Transfer Files' or 'Transfer Images' if the first option doesn't work. If the above isn't applicable, I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer of the card reader, to enquire about the necessary steps for connecting to, and transferring files to, Android devices.

Hi Andrew

Thanks for your help, however the 'USB for file transfer' did not show, I will get back to the manufacturer

Hi Andrew

I found 'USB for file transfer' more by luck than anything else.

Once again many thanks

Stay well and safe

@macabee: Ah ok, so the option was in your drop down notification panel, but wasn't immediately visible due to the other notifications in the list?
