There is an error in the USB MTP connection of Android and Windows 10 that leads to data loss if you move files on an Android device: If you connect the Android device to Windows 10 via USB, and then move files inside the device, the files are deleted from their source, but they don't reach the destination. Almost all Android devices except the newer ones from Samsung are affected. Here’s a translation, courtesy of DeepL:īe careful with Android devices connected to a PC running Windows 10 via USB: harmless cleanup operations can cause photos and other files to be irretrievably lost. Jörg Wirtgen on German-language site has a description of the problem.
But if you’re running Windows 10, watch out. As long as your PC is running Windows 7 or 8.1, that’s exactly what happens. When you attach your phone to a PC with a USB cable, you expect File Explorer to work the way it’s intended to work - copy, move, drag, drop and the like.
