So I was dragged into the 19th century when someone gave me a cast off smart phone (and old Samsung Galaxy) so now I have a phone that I can actually use to send a text (it has a poxy on screen keyboard) and I can take photographs.
But because it's old and knackered, the USB port does not work for anything other than charging the phone.
So I want to get photo's from the phone to the pc.
I have a blue tooth USB dongle for the pc (bought for something else that never worked) so I thought I would try it.
I find with the blue tooth dongle plugged in, I can click on the blue tooth icon in the task bar and it gives me the option to receive a file, and I can find my picture on the phone and "share" it and select blue tooth, and by this clumsy mechanism I can transfer one picture at a time.
So my question is, what programme can I use on the PC to allow me to use a proper file manager type interface to select and transfer files between the pc and the phone via blue tooth? I'm guessing I also need a app on the phone as well to make that work?
