I found bluetooth file sending between devices painful even when it works. Many clicks per file.Plan B suggestion: An app using wifi?I use one called Pushbullet which will run as an android app, a windows native client - and a chrome extension. I like it for popping up SMSs onto my computer where I can reply with a proper keyboard - but it also shifts files back and forth (Which i don't use). (Only small ones on the free version, but I'm sure there are other apps that do stuff like this well)Or, gdrive / generic cloud storage thing of choice.Neil
Hi Neil,The older non-smart phone, I assume has a USB connector - for charging at least. What happens when you connect the phone by USB to a computer? I remember prior to smartphones they had two modes, and one was a Storage Device. With your old phone's USB mode as Storage Device it ought to be picked up by the computer as a USB HDD, and then be possible to access your photos that way.
