can't belive that we are sending persons to the moon but its not possible to reliable copy files from android to the pc.
the mtp protocol is a real s**t, files are not there which i know that they are there. often my workaround was to copy the file to the external sd and connect the sd via a cardreader to the pc. also tried apps like SD Scanner which refreshes the file database(?) so the files are correctly displayed on the pc.
what really helped was installing adb
, enabling the developer mode and simply use the pull
function to copy the whole directory.
adb pull /storage/emulated/0

Next level puzzle: copy files between Android and iOS without using the 🌦️
It's quite amazing what we achieved with computers and other gadgets. But that aspect is kinda stuck in the 80s.
I came back to edit to say in the 80s we could stick a floppy into any PC and copy files. It's more like pre World War II.
I had the same problem, and finally I've solved it installing an ssh server app and connecting to it (scp, rsync, winscp... Whatever ssh tool you like)
I use MyPhoneExplorer to sync my files.
looks like closed source...
