How do I save my files from a phone with a broken screen with file access

[Android Central Question]

Dropped my phone today, the screen is completely gone without any light or response. The phone still works though and i can connect it to my pc after using the biometric scanner. I have thought of copy pasting everything to a folder in my desktop but I'm not sure whether moving the whole android/data file to another phone would work or not. Thoughts?

 

[me just saying]

you did not say what phone you have, but if you can see the files on your pc, you should have no problem moving and copying them over. Depending on the file type, you should be able to move them to a new phone from the pc.

Welcome to Android Central! If you created a screen lock, the problem is that you'd have to unlock the phone in order for the PC to see the folders on the phone.
