Your phone seems to have a microSD storage slot – use it to move all files to a new SD card, then use an SD card reader to move them to the computer. If the 'computer' end of the cable is Type-A, you can visually inspect it – a USB 3.x cable would have an additional row of 5 pins hidden deep inside.)

(Also, if your phone came with a Type-C cable, it's probably also just a USB 2.0 cable made primarily for charging and only occassional data transfer – they won't bundle a more expensive USB 3.x-compliant cable with a USB 2.0 device. Waiting is still probably your best option (802.11ac Wi-Fi could in theory exceed that speed, but in practice not by much). Your phone is an MTP device, not a mass storage device, but the calculations would be similar. The practically achievable USB Mass Storage data transfer speed in this mode is around 42 'MB'/s. The highest operating mode in common between a USB 3.0 port on one end and a USB 2.0 port on the other end is still just USB 2.0 'High Speed' at 480 Mbps – your computer's USB 3.0 port cannot imbue the phone with more speed. As for the cable, I don't know, maybe I will buy a USB 3.0 cable for the phone.Īccording to specifications at GSMArena, your phone only has a USB 2.0 port. Just checked, the USB interface of the phone is Type-C source, I don't know if it supports USB 3.0 or not though, it is not stated. And there are 95 pictures and 100 videos, for a total of 159636475587 bytes (148.67 GiB).Īll the options involving Blue-tooth, Wi-Fi and cloud storage can only be slower than the physical connection, they all have a narrower bandwidth than USB 3.0. The other files are MPEG-4 screen recordings that comes in all sizes, but most of them are between 0.5 - 5 GiB. In case the contents of the files are important, about half of them are JPEG screenshots, all of these screenshots are less than 1MiB in size. If it is a normal drive I would use FastCopy, but here I am accessing an emulated file system through a USB cable, so I don't know if it is the most efficient solution. How do I speed the process, to make it as fast as possible? The theoretical transfer speed of USB 3.0 is 4.8 Gbit/s: 4.8 * 1000^3 bit/sĪnd the performance of that particular HDD:

Windows Explorer only moves the files at a miserable 37.1 MB/s. It takes more than 4.5 hours to complete the transfer, I have cancelled the operation, I can't wait 4.5 hours just for the move operation to complete, and even in the unlikely case I could, by the time the operation completes I wouldn't be able to access the computer, it is some 'technical difficulty' I would not go into here. Of course I have a USB data cable, so I inserted one end of the cable to the phone and the other to a USB 3.0 port on the computer, to connect the phone to the computer, and selected 'Transfer Files' in the prompt, and started copying the files using Windows Explorer:

It is filled screen recording videos, and they collectively take 148GiB of space, and I am going to move the files to my 4TB HDD (3725.29 GiB capacity), so that I can free up the space, and I can edit and compress the videos before I post them to my Youtube channel. My phone is Oppo A96 and it has run out of space:

It even provides a drag and drop file interface, as well as even allowing access for sms messaging, call logs, app installs, and many other things.Please help, I need to transfer 148GiB worth of data from my Android phone to a computer.

It is a free app in the play store for local network transfers, and provides a web interface to use with your computer's browser. The best option, though, unless you are transferring a lot of data, is to use something like AirDroid. There is also a unity launcher in that thread if you're on Ubuntu unity, however.

You have to mount/dismount from command line. Here is a link to help you get it set up. Unfortunately, while Windows supports it natively just fine, linux solutions are fairly buggy as of right now.Ĭurrently, the most reliable (and it still is a little flaky to get going, but once connected is fine) that I have found is go-mtpfs. The benefit to this is simultaneous access on the Android device and the PC. Newer versions of Android mount storage as an MTP device instead of mass storage. If it doesn't work out of the box or natively, then be sure to search your package manager for an MTP solution. I know in my experience, Mint (Ubuntu based) works out of the box, as does Manjaro (Arch based). However, it seems most Linux distros are now working with MTP fairly well. UPDATE: There are several, better alternatives to Airdroid now.
