Have a GS5 from my employer and for personal use have a Note 4. Both with 64GB SD cards that are just about full with pictures and video. Between YouTube uploads and now with Google Photos, feel confident wiping both SD cards completely...save let's say one or two documents and a ringtones folder I want to delete everything from both and start fresh. Used to be sooo easy! I have a MacBook Pro (could be the problem too) and when I connect either device I can't get them to show up.
I pulled each SD, threw them into a card reader and still more issues. For the Samsung SD from my Note, I was able to see 5 of my let's say 20 folders. Thankfully one of the 5 had 40+GB of pictures, so I dragged it to my trash, watched it dissappear and mounted the SD card back into the Note 4....ALL the pictures are still on it
Then as for my GS5 it uses a SanDisk SD and when I put that in a card reader my MacBook says it's inaccessible and only offered to wipe the card, which didn't work (froze up twice and I think that's the first and second time I've ever had my MB freeze on me).
HOW IN THE HELL are y'all managing files these days? If I wanted to keep my Nova/Android layout, settings and apps all intact, but just get an on-computer screen view of my files and folders within each internal and external SD card for cleaning and organizational purposes, I'd be one happy camper.
Ideas? I see Side Sync has replaced Samsung Kies but haven't tried it. I'd prefer not to have to use Kies or SS but I guess I would at this point.
