Assuming this isn't a troll, this topic has been covered ad infinitum so
you can find plenty of references in the group public archives
<http://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android>
A good search keyword might be "tutorial" and "seamless" perhaps.

Since the whole purpose of writing those tutorials was to answer questions
like yours, years after the tutorials are written, details are there.

However, to answer your question with my heartfelt advice...

While you could copy files between the Windows PC & Android using specialty
software such as Kies or NitroShare or Kde desktop or even the built in
Windows linktowindows software, the EASIEST way is, probably, USB cable.

If you want the entire Android phone to be a drive letter on Windows over
Wi-Fi (no cables) then you can do that with WebDAV or FTPUse servers.

While I've done every method ever suggested, I'd say USB is easiest
with WebDAV being second easiest (because it uses Wi-Fi instead of USB).

All of these have their own threads which are in the public archives
for that reason, which is so that we don't need to repeat the information.

Mayayana. Why are you changing your name?
Because of the trollish subject?

Classic Alan Baker...

I knew, from the start, this thread had the hallmark of the iKooks.
*Moving files* by Newyana2
<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/MFjtFd_f430>
And...
*Copying files -- Win10 laptop to Android cellphone*
<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/LbhmR25ySTQ>

1. We've established beyond any reasonable doubt this thread is a troll.
2. We've also established this "new" poster is a brazen liar.
3. Based on this troll's history, it's doubtful the troll even has an
Android, as this thread fit the Alan Baker pattern from the get go.

Here's the classic Alan Baker approach... which, by the way, he used
today and yesterday in this thread, so it's easy to show the iKook MO:
*find my car*
<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/VYqRnd9t6dM>

Notice what transpired on the _android_ newsgroup (not Apple! Android):
A. Someone asked a question
B. Ten people responded, nine of whom posted rather detailed help
C. One though, Alan Baker, merely posted this, as his first "help"
"Sure! It's called an iPhone!
<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/VYqRnd9t6dM/m/pVVUGbCxDQAJ>
D. Then Alan posted yet again his iPhone propaganda to Android threads:
"Or you get an iPhone... "
<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/VYqRnd9t6dM/m/BS3p60LnDQAJ>

Notice the iKooks _hate_ that Android isn't crippled like iOS is.
So they post that drivel which is _never_ intended to be helpful.

The same thing happened in this thread, ostensibly about "copying files".

1. Alan Baker creates a new nym & posts a defeatist Android post;
2. In that defeatist message body, he claims nothing works on Android;
3. At the first chance he gets, he brings in that iOS just works;
4. He repeats this propaganda, daily (which is the iKook MO).

Happens all the time.
It's what these iKooks do.

Do you know why?
I do.

The iKooks all suffer from the same abnormal maladies:
a. They're all of low IQ and almost no formal education to speak of
b. As a result, they're incapable of processing facts like most adults
c. They _believe_ everything Apple says - to the point of cult religion

The problem is that the iPhone is basically like Santa Claus.
And the iKooks are basically like fifth grade held-back low-IQ bullies.

Here's how almost all factual conversations go with these iKooks:
iKook: Santa exists. And he's great! Free gifts on Christmas for the
world!
Adult: No it doesn't exist. It's impossible for Apple's claim to be true.
iKook: But I saw Santa at the mall Apple Store. You didn't see him! I did!
Adult: That was just a clever marketing trick; it's an Apple marketing
gimmick.
iKook: No. You are wrong! It _was_ Santa. I saw him. You are a dumb fuck
(JR)
Adult: Unfortunately, I repeat: Santa is just a marketing gimmick son.
iKook: Liar! You are a dumb fuck. You are a dick head. ftfy (nospam
hallmark)
Adult: How could it possibly be that Santa can fly through the sky like
that?
iKook: He does! Apple has a whitepaper on it. Apple said it was so! It's
real!
Adult: That's just clever Apple marketing, son. Sorry Santa doesn't exist.
iKook: You are an idiot and a troll and a dickhead and a liar! Santa is
real!
(This discussion goes on forever with all the iKooks joining in...)
iKook: You are an asshole. Liar! Liar... Liar... Pants on fire!

Just saying that this thread, from the start, has all the hallmarks of the
classic Apple iKook troll where their modus operandi is always the same.

a. We've been discussing on the iPhone newsgroup how crippled the iPhone
is in terms of lack of ability to use external sd card storage.

b. That's something most people on this newsgroup won't know - but I know
it - and what has been happening is ALL THE SAME EXCUSES that came up
in this thread were used by the Apple iPhone owners to excuse the fact
the iPhone is crippled (they tell us sdcard storage is unreliable).

c. Then... this "new" name pops up - asking a question - but the defeatist
attitude was evident from the start - in that everything was a problem.

d. As just one example of the pre-planned defeatist attitude, the OP cried
and wailed about how difficult it was for him to insert the sd card.

Then the op wailed incessantly about the format that was never needed.

On and on, the OP wailed about non-existent hurdles he was fabricating.
In the end, I knew how it would result since it is _always_ the same.

His goal, from the start, was to claim something as simple as copying
files both ways from and to Android & the PC - was extremely difficult.

It's not.
It's trivial.

And it works both ways over USB (unlike the brain dead iPhone setup).
(and yes, I know iKooks use the iTunes abomination to copy files)

e. Fast forward to now, where two dozen people waste their valuable time
to help the OP when the OP never had a problem in the first place.

*It was all made up.*

The only reason the OP didn't get to the punchline of "Apple just works"
is simply because I outed him at the start - so it wouldn't fly after that.

Then he only needed to string all of us along for his fabricated ride.

If he is to be believed, he's not only a moron, but he didn't even try
a different cable before stringing us along for a week adding hurdles.
