What the title says. It was working with no fuss on M but since upgrading to N I'm having issues. The android transfer app opens when I pull down on status bar and switch to file transfer option but then it stalls out immediately after dragging the folder to my desktop.
Ive tried rebooting, and disabling/enabling debugging.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit-actually I now realize it copies files fine. It only gets stuck transferring my twrp backup...throws error unable to transfer boot.emmc.win
If this makes sense to anyone please let me know. That's literally the only file I need to transfer.

For some reason I cannot copy large files from my Nexus 4 to my PC (Nandroids mainly) either via windows or ADB. The process starts, but soon ends and the files are not copied although no error is displayed. If I try and copy a Nandroid, the smaller files are copied, MD5s, recovery, boot etc. but NOT the biggie, the DATA file. any ideas?
This is an old thread but I can't see a solution. I too have had this problem surface, I've made titanium backups which in the past I've been able to just copy the entire folder onto desktop but that's not working now. What is wrong?
I can describe how I did it recently, as I wanted to do the same.
First I tried with copy command and had same problem.
Then I tried with move command and it worked.
Another way is wireless with an application like Wi-Fi transfer Pro.
You run the application at mobile and it gives you a site link to open at a browser at pc. It's similar to Airdroid, but no need for registration or Qr codes.
Then from pc you find the files or folder that you want to copy and you just press download.
This is how I copied 3.7gb nandroid backup.

That's an interesting idea, I will give that a go later but it is only a workaround. We need a fix as it wasn't an issue previously.
Hi,
I just noticed very strange behavior of my Nexus 4 and my Windows 8.1 Laptop, when I'm looking at my 'sdcard' directory on phone using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer. For example I have some files in my Download folder, when I' deleted them, they appear to be gone forever. Folder properties says there are only for example 4 files - 14Mb, but then, when I connect my phone to my Laptop with USB cable, and check the same folder I see those deleted files, and folder properties says there are more files taking more space... I don't know what's causing that, and i think it's really strange... I'll attach some screens to show you what i mean.
I'm sorry that screens are not in English but you should be able to figure out what i mean:
This is what I see on my Laptop:

This is what i see on my Phone:

After you delete the file on the phone, you need to let "media scan" run so it can update the files index, only then connect it to your computer, so the changes will be reflected. This is done automatically if you just wait a while or reboot the phone and give it a few minutes to scan.
If you delete files from the phone while you have the phone plugged in, it won't get update soon enough. If you delete the files from the computer then more than likely it will get updated on the phone aswell.

Try copying smaller groups of files at a time.
Ex
The Android folder will cause this issue when trying to copy it and all sub folders at once by simply selecting the Android folder and copying it.
Instead, create an Android folder in your destination folder (where you are copying to) then create each subfolder as well (data, obb, etc). Then just copy each folder within data, obb, etc, individually. It's a PITA, but this is how I've always bypassed the problem.

did it work ?
I just had the same problem. It may be some sort of corrupted folder. Here's what worked for me:
I think it started when I tried copying multiple folders instead of just one at a time, as I usually do. I cancelled because it was taking so long.
After that I constantly got the exact same thing you describe ... Had to kill Windows Explorer over & over.
What I noticed: Windows Explorer could surf into other folders, but clicking on one particular folder always hung Explorer.
So, I went in on the phone's My Files app, and did the following:
1. Looked at the folder - It appeared fine.
2. I copied all the files out of the folder
3. Deleted the folder
4. Recreated it
5. Copied the files back in
It took a few tries, but after that everything is back to working normally.
Hello All,

Hi,
I'm on stock everything, havent done anything to my phone.
Here's what happens, I plugged my nexus 6p on my pc.
I am expecting a few more files and folders in the Downloads folder, but I only see a few in the PC. Screenshots attached.
EDIT: As you can see, kali-linux-2016.1-amd64 and NBA_2K11-FLT (I downloaded because of Jordan Mode LOL) weren't shown on my PC. Please help me.
EDIT 2: It turns out this is a code issue on Android itself. A temporary work around would be to move the folder/file on Android, using a File Manager to a different location so that Android can scan the folder/file.
