You can use something like Airdrop if you got wifi.
There is no need to use Kies to transfer files. Can you set the USB connection to MTP?
You can also use wifi or data to download gapps from the gapps website. You could also copy the gapps to a micro SD card and put the card in the phone.
Samsung drivers can also be downloaded separately, if that's your concern.

When I try to download software from the HTC website from my phone, it comes up with a username and password so I can't download it. By the way, I can't download it from my PC and then put it on my phone, as the software must be downloaded from the phone.
download to your PC, copy to an sdcard and transfer to phone.

Thanks but I have a normal SD card and not a Micro SD. Do you have any other suggestions?
if you connect the device in activesync mode, you can transfer files through windows explorer into the phone's internal storage.
still, i can't help but wonder, what it is you want to download from htc that requires an account and what is supposed to be opened on the phone (besides maybe a few hotfixes that, depending on your rom, might not be necessary)
Has anyone tried using MTP transfer?
I'm trying to copy some files from the phone to the computer but it seems impossible through MTP.
What other methods you can use to transfer files?
I had to use adb pull command to pull all my data before i unlock the bootloader. I'm assuming that custom ROMs will let you connect the phone as an external storage device but what about people who don't/can't install custom rom? Do they have to live with those slow MTP speeds while transferring something to the phone?

I tried everything and the only way i could get adequate speed was from adb.
I'm wondering why google didn't include external storage as an option to connect (in 4.2.2, i assume it's a software feature) like there is in some other phones that does not have sd card slot.
I don't think anything can fix MTP. It's so slow, that I have to use adb to transfer Clockworkmod backups.
I hate MTP so much.
The reason there's no mass storage option is because the geniuses at either LG or Google decided it was a good idea to make external storage a folder in /data/ rather than have a dedicated /sdcard/ partition.
Slow transfers with MTP on Nexus 4
** Note: You need a OTG cable with a power connector & ROOT
Nexus 4 - Stock ROM 4.3 ROOTED.
OTG cable with power connector
USB patch
StickMount app
An earlier version of Directory Opus (sorry, the trial expired and I did not note the exact version) seemed to do a good job of transferring files from the Nexus to the PC (Win 7), but when I tried it on another computer and it no longer worked (transfer stopped before it actually completed).
I tried the following and it worked for me:
Check these links:
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-advanced-usb-otg-nexus-4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/usb-otg-externally-powered-usb-otg-t2181820
Use the patch that is suitable for your rom.
install StickMount, connect the usb otg cable to portable drive (in my case a seagate 320 GB Freeagent), the power, and then the phone.
The drive is mounted under /sdcard/usbstorage/sd1
You may need the ntfs-3g file from Chainfire's site.
Transfers were at 7 to 8 MBps from the Nexus to the portable drive [NO PC/Windows involved]. This is better than MTP and DirectoryOpus [when it worked] which was at around 4MBps.
The other option is to use SuperBeam app.
DirectoryOpus might work, but you probably need the right combination of MTP drivers, DirectoryOpus version and Windows version.

Maybe if you don't know how to transfer files you should not be installing a new ROM yet? What specific version of Note 3 do you have? Are you aware of your Knox warranty status? Do you have a custom recovery? Are you already rooted? What ROM and bootloader do you have right now?

Did you load the Samsung USB drivers ? What OS on the PC ? I have a Note3 Vzw, N900V, stock 4.3, no root. I can connect to Win8 and WinXP machine fine. After a short moment, the Galaxy N900V shows up, I can select Device or Storage Card. Cut and paste to my hearts content.

ah for some reason when i plug in my usb it greys out the external sd card
Windows 7
If you don't have another Samsung device you connect to your PC, I would uninstall any older Samsung Driver software package. Restart, then reload the latest Samsung Driver, along with Kies 3. I'm running 2 versions of Kies, one for my Note 8 and my Note 3. Worst case is there a possible virus\malware? Good Luck.
If I simply wipe dalvick and cache and flash new version of same developers (SACS) rom, will I lose anything like pics and downloads that are stored on the device?
Normally no you won't lose your pics and downloads if you just wipe cache and delvik cache only.
But you shouldn't take the risk. Make a backup of your own data.

great thanks, what type of backup, using what? titanium? does a nand backup store EVERYTHING on the device, like the pics and downloads im referring to, or what exactly does a nand backup save? the whole reason I ask is because my piece of sheet Samsung galaxy 4 refuses to USB connect to my dell xps 15 (9530), a new machine. ive had dell, Samsung, and best buy all unable to figure it out..the phone just loops through saying "connected" then immediately disconnects, so I have no easy way to transfers all the files on the device itself to my computer....but the phone connects fine to my 10 year old inspiron...but the transfer speed is stone-age...
You can even copy all your personal files to external SD card then use any SD card reader to move it to your pc or laptop.
About your Samsung device not recognized... Then make sure of 2 things
1) That your usb cable is fine (may use another one)
2) uninstal Samsung drivers from device manager on pc then download the latest version of drivers (or you can uninstall Samsung kies and reinstalling the latest version of it)
Then retry connect the mobile phone to pc or laptop.

i will go in and delete the samsung drivers on pc, and reinstall. thanks!
in the meantime, id like to dirty flash this rom asap, cuz my gps is broke, and i need it working. how should i backup whats on the device so i dont lose pics/downloads, etc.?
thanks for taking the time to help out
I even had a situation once where I could only see that there was a problem with the drivers through device manager when the phone was plugged in. I want to say I had uninstalled the drivers but they did not uninstall cleanly. I had to have the phone plugged into USB, right clicked on the driver, clicked uninstall/delete and unplugged the phone while the the driver uninstalled so the PC did not recognize it and start trying to install a new driver. Reboot download drivers and plug the phone in to install drivers.

As i said you can easily copy your pics and downloads to your external SD card then transfer all to your pc. By using sd card reader.
Then make dirty flash as you want or even go to a clean install.
About your apps and settings and their data you can use titanium backup.
But for pics and downloads you don't have to use titanium... Just copy and paste.

so you are saying i will lose my pics that are on the device, not on the sd card? i have nothing to externally connect the phone to. thats my issue.
I think you will not lose any thing but you have to make a backup if anything goes wrong.
If you have external card on your mobile phone then copy to your external card.
If you haven't then you can copy your pics and downloads wireless by using wifi if you have wifi router via airdroid app.
If you make a Nandroid backup in CWM or whatever recovery, Ti Backup is good at getting all of your data our that way as well. Once you have it, you can simply restore it, or if you have the pro version, create a flashable update.zip file that you can flash in recovery.
I've bounced back and forth between different ROM's with clean installs (wiping data and everything) and I've never lost anything on the internal SD. You can backup to be safe, but I don't typically worry about it.
BTW an app you can use to help is called AirDroid from the Play Store. It requires no USB connection, just WiFi and you can transfer just like if you were connected via USB.
Even if u did a full wipe u dont lose pics or music... Its on sd card partition. Ud only lose apps.. Ud have to wipe sd card completely to do that. Dl the superwipe flashable zip.. Flash that then rom then gapps after titaniuming ur apps
Hi, I have a trouble with my G6 since I buyed it a year ago, I've never be able to transfer files to my pc, allways crashes my pc when I try to transfer the files from the internal storage.
Also I have tried to transfer the files to the SD card in the mobile with ES File Explorer but also I cant do it. Any solution?
You can always start with installing the drivers. Most times windows can handle it just fine, but if there are crashes, installing a driver pack can solve the issue
Also, use Driver Booster to update other drivers, you may be having problems with more internal stuff such as SATA controllers

Seems like your pc has some kind of problem. Try using the asus file manager for now: It creates a ftp server. You type the ip adress shown (on your browser) and then you get a file explorer. It's a good way to transfer files without having to connect the phone via USB
