What is the fastest way to transfer photos from Android to PC on Windows 11?
The storage of my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S22) is almost full and I need to backup my photos to my Windows 11 computer. I tried to connect via USB but not all photos are in the DCIM folder. In addition, there are 5000+ photos and images on my phone. I want to know what is the fastest way to transfer photos from Android to PC on my Windows 11 computer.
P.S. I also tested a few solutions from search engine but those methods are too old and not working now. Please suggest a reliable and fast method for bulk photo transfer from Android phone to computer.
Thanks

To transfer photos from Android to computer, once you've got everything transferred, consider backing them up using OneDrive or another cloud service. That way, if anything happens to your computer, your photos are safe. Make sure both your Android and computer's operating system are up to date to avoid any compatibility issues.
Tommanir Backing up and restoring Android photos via OneDrive is a straightforward process that ensures your precious memories are safely stored in the cloud and easily accessible across devices. First, move all photos on Android phone to OneDrive app. After that, download all photos to your PC via the OneDrive app. This is one of the best free ways to help you transfer photos from Android to PC. However, it takes more time for uploading and downloading.
- Before you start transferring photos from Android to PC, double-check that you have enough free space on your computer. If you don't, the transfer might fail midway. Trust me, it's a hassle to delete stuff mid-transfer. If you're transferring a large batch of photos, avoid unplugging your device or disconnecting your cable in the middle of the process. I once did this thinking it was taking too long, and ended up with a bunch of half-transferred files—what a pain!
- When you are trying to transfer photos from Android to PC on a Windows 10 or Windows 11, only the DCIM and screenshot folders are available for access. You can't transfer photos saved in other locations on Android phone with USB drive.
