[Resolved] Can't copy titanium backup files to PC [LGG4] - General Questions and Answers

I used to be able to do this with my Galaxy S5, though that was always on Windows 8, I'm on 10 now.
When I connect to my computer to find my backup folder it is just a blank white icon that is 0kb, but if I look at it with ES File Explorer I can see everything fine. I see no way to upload a folder through onedrive or drive and ES File Explorer won't let me share over 100 files. I have over 600 files in the backup and I don't want to have to manually select all of them.
What is going on? How can I back up my back up to my PC? All other files and such are easily accessible through the computer
Thanks
EDIT: Fixed, if anyone else is having this problem, create a folder from your computer, then move the TB folder into that folder that was created on the computer, and then it should be able to be copied from phone to computer

[Q] Transfer backup to PC

First off, sorry if this is not the right place to post this.
I've googled around and can find lots of answers to 'where does ROM manager store backups' but that doesn't help me with this.
In the past I've backed up a ROM then moved it (using something like Root Explorer) to my external card and also because I want a backup on my computer - I just copied the file across.
But now the files (and folders) are invisible to my PC.
I tried moving it, renaming the folder, creating a new folder and moving the contents out of the original folder into the new one... but to no avail. The PC simply cannot see what ever folder contains the backup.
But If I look in the same location using Root Explorer, the backup is sitting there clear as day.
I pretty much always have 'show hidden files' turned on on my PC anyway - why can't I see/transfer the backup to my computer?

Titanium Backup Missing Files

Hi Everyone. I updated my ROM on my S7 Edge as I do frequently. This time Titanium Backup would not restore my files. I'm not sure what happened, but it seems like my backup folder was deleted.
When using Root Explorer, I found a folder called "SD Card Restored" that has a folder inside called "Titanium Backup" containing 440 files which look like what I'm missing. But they are only viewable in Root Explorer. I can't see or access them from anywhere else. I tried ES File Explorer. I plugged the phone into my mac, and it shows an empty folder. I zipped the files and sent them to my mac and the zip is empty. I also uploaded all the files to Dropbox and they do appear online when viewing in my browser, but the desktop Dropbox folder appears empty.
Is it possible to somehow recover these files? Thanks.
Here's a screenshot of some of the filenames: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y4q52r2maxaesiz/Screenshot%202017-02-10%2010.16.48.png?dl=0

DCIM folder shown as an empty folder

Hello, I'm not sure if it's a bug or something but lately I have issues connecting OPO with my PC via USB.
Thing is, everything works fine except for the fact that DCIM folder is shown as an empty folder. And no matter what I do, every time I connect my phone that folder is shown as an empty folder.
Every other folder can be browsed normally, media in other folders is visible.
1) no, folder isn't empty
2) no, connection it's not in charging mode. No matter if I set it in MTP or PTP mode, same thing happens. DCIM folder seems empty.
3) tried on couple computers, win7 and win10 os, same thing.
4) doesn't matter if I connect my phone while it's active or in sleep
OnePlus One has latest CM13, it's not rooted.
Any ideas?

Why don't you try connect it via any other medium?
For example,

I'm not saying it's a permanent solution but atleast an alternative for now.

It happened to me too, and I solved with a file manager (I used ES File Explorer Pro).
I created a new "DCIM-new" folder, moved all DCIM contents to "DCIM-new", renamed original DCIM to "DCIM-old" and, finally, renamed "DCIM-new" to DCIM. When reconnected to PC in MTP mode, DCIM content reappeared in Windows Explorer.

Thank you, it's pretty nice app. Would be better if there is something like that but to recognize your device within your local network. Because now I'm limited by my up/down provider bandwidth.

Haven't tried that yet, I'll try and see if it works. Thanks :good:
Did that today and it worked. But somehow it lost 600 files after renaming folder back to DCIM. Old folder had little over 2000 files, now it has 1409. Have no idea what happened.
Was having the same issue, what you have to do is simply plug in your pendrive (if you have one)through otg cable and just copy paste your files to your pendrive and then to your computer.

Can't copy MP3 file from PC to GR5-2017 running android 7

OK, hear me out!
1. I can't copy MP3 files into the phone. I can however copy videos and photos to the phone from the PC via the Huawei HiSuite program or the windows file explorer. On-the-other-hand there's no option to transfer music in the HiSuite app Or is there?
2. I use media monkey to transfer music to my devices. It shows the files are being transferred but at the end it gives out an error saying the files can't be copied.
3. Through windows file explorer I can see the folders I wanted to copy in to the phone, but those folders are empty. I can not view those folders if I try to view them via my phone. So, I guess the folders somehow are being copied without the files. But I can't view them with the phone, but I can view the folders via the PC. Weird!
HELP!

Android - How to copy new or updated files/folder only like Robocopy in Windows in PC

Hi,
Everytime I clean install my phone, I take backup by from internal to external SD card; I had to do this manually.
Few folders are there, where thousands of files will be there; I tried to find a file browser which can give an option to copy only new/updated file/folder, but couldn't get one.
Currently I use ES file explorer pro, but it only checks for same name file/folder and if you click "Skip" on the popup, it will not check any further.
I do backup in my work and personal PC with windows by Robocopy scripts; is there any tool like robocopy for android?
Thanks!
