Kapanlagi.com - Transferring videos to a laptop is important to know. As we know, phones have very limited memory space. Accumulated video files will fill up the memory, making the phone sluggish.

Not only to reduce the load on phone memory capacity, transferring videos from a phone to a laptop is sometimes necessary for editing purposes. This is quite common for video editors and content creators, but it may still be unfamiliar to some people. Therefore, many people are still confused about how to transfer video files from a phone to a laptop.

But for those of you who don't know how, don't worry. Compiled from various sources, here's a review of how to transfer videos from your phone to your laptop easily and practically.

One of the easiest ways to transfer videos from your phone to your laptop is by using a data cable. With the data cable, you can connect the storage system on your phone to your laptop. This way, you can open files on your phone through your laptop and vice versa. Not only can you open files, but you can also copy and move files.

Transferring video files from your phone to your laptop is also very easy. You can follow these steps:

- First, make sure you have a properly functioning data cable.

- If you have one, simply plug one end of the data cable into the USB port on your laptop. Then, plug the other end into the charging port or hole on your phone.

- Next, pay attention to your phone's screen. A notification will appear asking for approval to connect your phone to another device. Press OK to agree.

- Then, select the File Transfer Mode option.

- After that, you can start opening the explore menu on your laptop to access the storage space on your phone.

- Find the video file you want to transfer. Then, right-click and press copy.

2. Using a Memory Card Reader

In addition to data cables, another tool that can be used to transfer videos to a laptop is a memory card reader. With this tool, we can access files on the micro SD card installed on our phone. So, before transferring to a laptop, make sure the video file has been saved on the micro SD card and not in the internal memory.

Unlike data cables, to use this tool, you must remove the micro SD card from the phone. For more details, just follow these steps.
