How do I download my pictures safely from my Samsung SM-G530w into my portable hard drive?
When I followed the previous instructions, I could not find the place where I was to ("connect as a media device (MTP) tap Camera (PTP) and find out if the computer does not have any appropriate driver applied. I have tried: I tried to find the Notifications Panel and they were all apps from Google, which I do not understand (as I do not want to give over control of all my pictures to Google) Then I was supposed to go to connect as a media device (MTP). I think it was caused by: I had pictures taken off my cell and landed in windows on display because I had the USB connected to the computer......even including private matters which were in my documents...all without my knowledge or consent. I want to keep my art and photography private.
