     As you're having so much trouble getting files from Android to   
   Windows and vice versa, I think you should have a look at using Quick   
   Share.   
      
     The Quick Share app should be on your phone (automatically pops up   
   when you select to 'Share' something).   
      
     The Windows companion program 'Quick Share' is documented here:   
      
   'Share files between Android & Windows with Quick Share'   
      
      
     If you can't find Quick Share on your Android device, see the 'Use   
   Quick Share on your Android device' link at the bottom of the above   
   mentioned page.   
      
     Quick Share can share files and folders, so no more one-file-at-a-time.   
      
     Happy Share-ing!   
      
     P.S. Remember your problem getting exported WhatsApp chats to Windows?   
   For me it was just doing the export bit in WhatsApp, select 'Share',   
   select the Quick Share icon with "Frank's PC" and my laptop says 'file   
   received ... in ...\Downloads'. Not very hard, is it?
