A bit of advice please.

I have a Motorola Moto G 4G mobile and I want to download the photos and videos I have on there to my laptop. It operates with Android 5.1 and I have a GMail Cloud thing that has a copy of the pictures. They are resized to small in the Cloud and I cannot seem to transfer them from there. If I plug my mobile charging lead into the the phone connecting to the USB port on the lappy is there a way to read the gallery and transfer the contents to a Windows file? Do I need a utility program to do this?

Any advice appreciated

Cheers

plug it into the pc and it should pop up asking you what you want todo - one of the options is import pictures and videos

Okay, thanks Flash, I will give that a go.

I use Dropbox for this all the time.

Install Dropbox on both the phone and the PC and either set the phone to automatically upload all pics to the "Camera Uploads" folder within Dropbox (I use the wi-fi only option for this!) or share them with Dropbox manually.

Then as soon as the PC syncs with Dropbox, there they all are.

In fact, I've got my work phone, own phone, tablet, wife's phone, three laptops, and the desktop PC, all syncing to the same Dropbox account and find it by far the easiest way to transfer stuff from one device to another.

Agree, dropbox is superb.

I tried Flash's suggestion first and it worked perfectly.

Thanks all for comments
