This is an easy way to see where your downloads are stored by default. Connect your Android device to your computer with a USB cable, and within a few seconds, you should see a prompt appear offering to show you the contents of the device you connected.
Click on the one that allows you to see the contents of your Android device. Click on the Phone option and scroll down until you find the Downloads folder. Just open it and do whatever you please. You downloaded an image last week but accidentally erased it from your device. To recover that image, open Chrome, tap the three-dotted menu icon at the top right corner, then tap Downloads to see your list of downloads from the browser.
The new and much-improved Microsoft Edge browser is slowly making inroads on Android, and makes it relatively easy to find your downloads. Firefox makes it just as easy to find your downloads.
Once you have the browser open, tap on the three vertical dots at the top-right or bottom-right, depending on your personal setup of your display. To dig a little deeper still into your Android directories, you should read our guide on how to install TWRP Recovery.

Fortunately, once the two devices are linked, the option to change these settings becomes available; it simply takes a bit of searching to find it. If you look at the picture below, you will see a USB notification that is just about visible second from the bottom. The next step is to tap the notification again, and the USB preferences window will open.
The settings shown may differ on some Android phones but, in this example, the default setting is No Data Transfer. With this option enabled, the computer cannot locate and import your images. You therefore now need to select the option that allows the transfer of your photos. Typically, this is File Transfer. Again, this setting may differ between phones. For example, on many Samsung phones, you have the option of transferring files or transferring images.
If this is the case, make sure to select Transferring Images when importing your photos. After choosing the transfer option, Windows Photos — or your preferred app — should now recognise your phone and pictures and allow you to import them.
