Hi Neil

I feel your pain. 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.

Thanks for the sympathy. I had not thought of looking for other methods. One problem could be that the phone with the photos on it is not a smart phone. So no wifi. Which is the reason I looked at bluetooth. My other, older phone is a smart phone, but that one does not have the photos on it. As I said, typical,

Neil
