7. Hopefully, when you connect them via the USB, a notification will appear indicating the connection.

Tapping on that notification will (hopefully) cause a menu to appear where you can select the type of file transfer.

If you can't see the notification, you might have to swipe down from the top to see the list of notification messages.

It might work differently on your Samsung than my Moto Ace.

Perhaps you can google "android set USB type" or "Samsung set USB type" and get so better info.

When connected, the phone will appear to the computer as an external disk drive.

Good luck.
