   I'm glad the OP found his solution, and that the team, as a whole, helped.   
   Each of us has solved the Android-to-PC connection problem in our own ways.   
      
   In addition to Stan's suggestion of LocalSend (which works over the LAN   
   across all platforms) there is always the ability to mount the PC as a   
   Windows read/write drive in order to transfer files bidirectionally over   
   your Wi-Fi LAN using the Windows native "Net Use" command   
      
       
      
   Here is the Windows syntax to mo0unt the phone as a r/w Windows drive P:   
      
    C:\> net use P: \\192.168.0.2@8000\DavWWWRoot /USER:foo bar
