Question Unable to copy files from Windows to Android

[theridon]

I have a windows 10 PC with a hard drive, and had roughly 20gb of videos on my Android Samsung S10E. A while ago I transfered these videos from my phone onto my PC and removed them from my phone.

Now that I want to copy them back onto my phone, it only works for ~50% of the files, I'm using a USB cable to connect. It begins the copying progress popup, estimate 10 mins or so, and after about a minute it just stops. No errors, no warnings, nothing. It just stops copying files. Quite frustrating. I have more than enough space on my phone. It's set to "USB file for transfer" mode too, s10 samsung phone. I couldn't find anything in the event viewer. Any ideas? I also tried copying about 20 files at a time, same problem.

Is there a resolution option for you to pick, and which one did you?

What USB type are you using on your PC?

Just the usb charger that came with the phone, I don't know how totell

Sorry but I have no clue what this is referring to...no resolution option that I know of.

OP is just copying the file from one location to another using (I assume) the Windows File Explorer. The resolution of the video within that file has nothing to do with that process.

Just spitballing a few ideas:

Are all of the videos that won't transfer to your phone still playable on your PC? Some files could have been corrupted in the transfer from your phone to your PC. If they are corrupted, there are times that corrupted files just don't transfer well - and you don't want to transfer them, anyway.

Have you done a chkdsc on your PC to make sure your harddrive doesn't have any errors and that File Explorer is working properly? Info HERE.

Have you tried a 3rd party transfer app?

Instead of copying can you choose to move instead?

How Long Can a Samsung Phone Record Video [Fact Checked] - TechFOW.com

A Samsung phone can record video for about an hour and a half.

To add : HD record limit is 10 min on S9+
I'm not sure if this is a limiting factor in this case, but it might be relevant.

Try copying pc to pc (if you have another) to rule this out
Good luck
