A52s - No PC Connection for files Old Story Never Solved

[Alkibir]

It seems that world wide no one has ever really found a solution for this problem. 

Here it goes again. I tried all suggestions; none worked. We have three phones. S24, A33s and A52s. The first 2 will connect to PC for file transfer, the A52 is not connecting. 

I do not wish to use windows link, or any other such absurd solutions. Cloud? Forget it. 

So Samsung should have told us all by now, as this is at least a 4 year old issue, what the real problem is. I had a recent Update to the A52, but so did I for the others.

I need to transfer files other media to my PC and Vice versa. 

So I ask what is the correct solution. Please do not waste time going through the Explanations on how to reset USB Config or Phone itself, or change cables etc. All those suggestion have all been wasted. 

Thank you all for your help.

Happy Easter.

Since PC is a vague and generic term, can you provide more specifics. Which OS are you running first and foremost?

Just out of curiosity, why do you not want to use phone link? It's the windows method for mobile devices connecting to pc's for the future, nothing absurd about it. But if you're so adamant about not using it, then I'd suggest moving whatever data it is you want saved from your A52 to one of your other devices instead and using that device to transfer it to your PC. It's a roundabout method, but pretty easy to do using Samsung's Quick share.

In my opinion, the cloud is the way—why so against it? OneDrive is straightforward, and you can simply drag files out of OneDrive, and then they're stored locally again. "No solution" but cloud and phone link are the solutions.

It doesn't seem you want troubleshooting methods either, so I'm not sure what the point of the post is? Samsung won't see this for suggestions, it being a forum for customers to help other customers. *what os are you using on your "pc" are the cables offocial and support data transfer and not just charging?
