Download Pictures from Moto G5 to PC

Transferring pictures from your Moto G5 smartphone to your computer is a simple process that allows you to back up your precious memories, edit them, or simply free up space on your device. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to download pictures from your Moto G5 to your PC:

Connect your Moto G5 to your computer

The first step is to connect your Moto G5 to your PC using a USB cable. Ensure that both devices are powered on and properly connected.

Select "File Transfer" mode

Once connected, your Moto G5 will prompt you to choose the USB connection mode. Select the "File Transfer" or "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol) option. This mode enables your computer to access and transfer files between the two devices.

Access your Moto G5 storage on your computer

Open the "File Explorer" or "My Computer" on your PC. Your Moto G5 should appear as an external device or storage option there. Click on it to access its files and folders.

Navigate to the "DCIM" folder

Locate and open the "DCIM" (Digital Camera Images) folder. This is where your Moto G5 stores all the pictures and videos captured using its camera.

Select and copy the pictures

Browse through the folders within "DCIM" to find the pictures you want to download. You can either copy specific images or select multiple pictures at once by holding down the "Ctrl" key (or "Command" key on a Mac) while clicking on the desired photos. Right-click on the selected pictures and choose "Copy."

Paste the pictures on your PC

Now, navigate to a location on your computer where you want to save the downloaded pictures. Right-click on the desired location and select "Paste" to transfer the copied pictures from your Moto G5 to your PC.

Confirm successful transfer

Once the transfer is complete, verify that the copied pictures have been successfully transferred to your PC. Open the destination folder on your computer and check if the pictures are all there.

That's it! You have successfully downloaded pictures from your Moto G5 to your PC. Remember to safely disconnect your Moto G5 from your computer before unplugging the USB cable.

By following these simple steps, you can easily manage your Moto G5 photos and keep them backed up on your PC. This process also allows you to edit your pictures using various software options available on a computer.
