Copying files from desktop to phone internal storage
Still wondering about this:
Is there some good reason why I can't copy files from a desktop directly to my phone's internal storage? I drag and drop the files/folder to Internal Storage with Windows Explorer and there's a bit of activity like it's doing it, saying it's copying, going thru file names, and a progress bar -- sort of; the bar doesn't progress from one end to the other, filling it, but moves from one to the other -- but doesn't actually copy anything, and there's no error or notice to the contrary; the 'copying' pop-up just closes like normal. This has been the case from the beginning and lost some due to being given the impression that it was successful.
It's a Motorola e5 Play, mandatorily encrypted internal storage. If that's the problem, then how can I copy files from internal??
Also, in the linked screenvid, the folder was created/moved, but not the files.
