Hi community I wish to pass Data from my Samsung Galaxy A5 to any laptop. It's not working with either my Macbook or my hp laptop. I can't connect via USB or via bluetooth. Please can someone help me. Thanks!

I've tried smart switch and it isn't working.

Search for, download and install Samsung USB drivers onto your laptop and connect both devices.

hello there

first, enable USB Storage Connection Mass Storage Mode

dial *#0808# on phone

USB → AP →  USB Settings → select MTP +ADB

second, install Smart Switch to laptop to install the drivers

no need to use the app as we only need the driver so the laptop can recognise the phone
