I have a camera with a 2gb memory card and a Samsung Galaxy A tablet.
And no, I do NOT have a smart phone.
I will be traveling soon and tried an experiment because I want to transfer photos from camera memory card to tablet and then share them.
This morning I took a few photos with the camera, removed the memory card and connected it to the tablet. The photos showed up immediately on Quikpik which is what I was hoping they would do. From there I was able to view them, then select some and share them
I then put the card into my new hp pc with Win 10 because I wanted to remove the trial photos. The card showed not only the photos but it also had 2 other files on there, one of which was Android and I did not note the name of the other one,
I deleted everything to keep my card clean.
I took some more pictures, repeated the process, but this time the photos did NOT show up on QuikPik. So I used a fresh card - same thing.
When I put the fresh card into the pc - there were now 3 files: Android, DCIM and Lost.DIR and the photos were not actually on the card like before, they were in a folder in DCIM.
Question is, why did photos appear in QuikPik the first time and not later when using the same card?
And, when I switched to a fresh card, why did that not work either?
