Ok thanks for the advice and checking. I'm not sure if I have the adapter, or which it would be, as I don't tend to use them.
Out of interest, did I do anything wrong with trying to transfer in that way or should the process usually be reliable? Would you recommend saving on a card or interal storage as the safest option for future?
I do backup to google photos, but they are low res, so will need to increase the frequency of backups to an external hard drive.
Well you can take the pics missing from google photos there is the only thing left to do.
I would advise you to buy an sd card and keep the picture there,that is what i do too. And do NOT encrypt it.
In case something happens to the phone or the logic board breaks what is on there is lost forever, what is on the sd card is not goimg to be lost.
Sd card can fail too as you experienced, the best thing to do is to back up data on an ssd or hdd to have a safe copy.
If you want a new sd card buy a new kingston csrd (the newer versions) or a samsung evo.
Buy it from a reputable seller with whon it is easy to do a return. After it arrives if you will you can send me the pic here of the card and adapter to check if it is not fake so you can use itnwithout worries, in fact even if you buy from a reputable seller they are a lot of times scammed and given fake sd cards without them knowing it.
Let me know
