Hello. I'm searching for 1 simple thing. How do I copy all files from my Samsung A10 to my laptop?
Thanks in advance

Jump to PostNot possible on a stock A10. Some files are going to be left behind.
Even a rooted phone may not be possible today.
-> Remember you didn't ask to backup your files but all files.
Jump to PostRemember you asked for "all files" and not just your files. If you look up backup apps like Titanium you find they need root access but I recall this is hit or miss on some phones.
So, on a stock phone, the answer to "all files" is no.

Oh.. well all MY files is ok, too.
Copying to Google Drive doesn't work, to DropBox doesn't work, sending to my own GMail doesn't work... any other ways?

- Try https://deviceguides.vodafone.co.uk/samsung/galaxy-a10-android-9-0/connectivity/transfer-files-between-computer-and-phone/
- Go get some USB stick that plugs into said phone then follow the instructions at https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/transferring-files-to-usb/
- Further down the rabbit hole! ES FILE EXPLORER and a FTP server on your PC. Noted at https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/transferring-files-to-usb/ (I decline to write a step by step.)
I can't guess why you are having issues with dropbox, etc.
