My screen glass is broken so I'm going to get another phone. The USB port works for charging but lately I haven't been able to get a computer to recognize my phone so I can transfer pictures and videos. I looked up how to solve the transfer problem for my specific phone and the option mentioned wasn't there. A phone fix store person said the problem is the phone and the port is a soldered-in type. She suggested uploading my files to Google Drive.

Anyone know why the port works for charging but not transferring? Two different circuits?

I imagine uploading would be tedious, unless there's a bulk uploading option, which may come down to how my phone handles that. Any ideas?
