B. Diddy Senior Ambassador Moderator Mar 9, 2012 169,154 10,377 113 Oct 31, 2016 #3 Welcome to Android Central! I agree with Rukbat. Avoid the Windows Explorer "Import All Pictures and Videos" feature, because that will copy over all images indiscriminately (including thumbnails and cached images from apps). I also strongly recommend using Google Photos Auto Backup: https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6193313?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en Upvote 0 Downvote
