Edit: Solved in post #19 and above.
Hi guys, I have the 10+ and DeX on macOS and it's awesome. But, all the articles (even on XDA) say you can simply "drag and drop" files.
I've found that I can indeed drop files from macOS Finder onto DeX and they get uploaded to the phone's Downloads (!) folder. Cool.
But I can't copy from the phone to the computer. Dragging from Samsung's Files app within DeX does not work. When someone works this out, please reply.
Same question for me ...
And m8 pls

Has anyone figured out any way to move photos from the phone? With DeX installed you can't use Android File Manager...
Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
At the moment short answer is no. Looks like Samsung over promised and under deliver. The DeX will be updated with drag and drop file management. Its so sad, Sammy has removed the disk drive host when u plugs in the usb to pc. Bummer. Which was so convenient just drag and drop anything. At moment looks like the only option is cloud.
Bump - a week after release, anyone managed to transfer a file from the phone yet?

Hi, so if I connect my phone to my pc using a USB cable is it not possible to drag and drop files from my phone? If not is this just a Note 10 problem? Thanks.

While drag and drop is not possible, You should still have access to your Phones Device Storage from within windows.
I can access both the 256GB partition and my External SD Card via Explorer on windows 10. Its not ideal, but i can still drag and drop back and forth. Just beats the purpose of Dex and there advertisements of the drag and drop on the dex window

Yep, Sammy made it difficult for us. Shoot, I transfer video files constantly.
No software needed. Its a plug and play. If u dont have otg cable, get something like this. Works like a charm.

Go into the My Files or Gallery app (did not try other apps) inside DeX, select a file by clicking on it. Then click and hold again on the selected file(s) and drag away!
I found that I could only drag and drop onto the Download file from Windows to DeX.

Well, exactly like I said. First click a file so it is selected. Then click and hold the selected file again. It turns into a floating icon with a small DeX logo. Then, while still holding the mouse button, you can drag the file outside the DeX window to your desktop.

This was the key. I'm sure I tried that several times so I think the DeX app updated, but yes:
1. Open Samsung's My Files app within DeX
2. Hold down a file until a check appears to its left
3. Let go of the mouse button
4. Hold down again, and drag to your computer

Hey guys, so I found a work around.
If you have recently downloaded and installed DeX, it also updated your Samsung Driver which is the problem. What I managed to do was just uninstall Samsung USB driver and install an older working version then restart computer.
Now if that doesn't work, then uninstall DeX and the Samsung USB driver, and install the older Samsung USB driver then simply restart your computer and you should be good to go.
On one computer, I had to only uninstall USB driver. On another I had to uninstall DeX as well. So try both methods.
I installed Samsung driver from May 2018, may work with other old versions, but that was the first one I tried and it worked.

is there any app for copy-paste from PC to phone and vice versa?
for example, I found some interesting article in my PC, and I want to copy some part of it to my phone.. I could've send the file via bluetooth, email, or USB connection.. but I think it'd be very neat to just copy the text (not the file) from your PC and paste it on your phone..
or in the opposite direction, I received an interesting SMS from my phone and I want to copy it to my PC..
is there any app like that?
I know that the app Chrome to Phone together with a plugin in either Chrome or Firefox on the computer does exactly that! However I don't know if there's in the opposit direction.

Hmm then it's strange that you don't find it. It's my first entry when searching on Chrome to Phone.
It's not the latest version but a google search resulted in this thread with an apk-file.

Download ES file explorer. You can add your computer as a lan drive (over WiFi) then any folders that are shared can be viewed on your phone. you can copy any file over. i have apks on my computer. If i view them with ES file explorer it coppies them to my phone then installs them. i also transfer music over this way. It might even work the other way if you change the folder permissions on the computer

Just install it on your pc, sign up for an account (it's free but you can pay for upgrades to storage size) and install the app on your phone. Tada! Any file you put into your Dropbox folder is downloadable via the Dropbox app. It works both ways!
Edit: Oops just read your entire question. Hm well I guess you can use dropbox but then for your purposes you'd have to copy paste said text to a note app and then upload the note file to dropbox..Can't think of a more direct way.
Maybe you can find an app that has Google Docs integration. Either way you need an internet connection.

kies isn't the best way IMHO....
if you put inside the plus a microsd card could you use it as a "pen drive" ?!
I don't know if you already tried this, but it's the only way I found to transfer files to the tablet:
Open Kies and connect the tablet and right at the end of that bar showing memory usage there's a button called Internal Memory, if you click it will open a tiny window to you transfer your files.
That's the only way I found.
Easy Phone Tunes is the solution and it's free !
He sync music, podcast and playlist automatically. It's smart enough to don't syncing drm protected files and don't reencode the AAC files (kies does it).
Tested with my GT-P6210 and my Xperia S
@FMaranda: OMG, Thanks you...I never saw this button before...
Only one official option, on PC AND Mac

I was resisting using KIES for as long as I could but it is actually a pretty good program and the ONLY way to transfer files as MTP on Sammy devices. My wife's LG phone and others use a program called Android File Transfer but it doesn't work with Samsung devices.
AirDroid is nice app too.

In your Windows Explorer folder settings / options, there is an option to "show hidden files".
Also, you can view the info of a file or folder on your Android from a file browser.
Posted from my Paranoia Infused Android, now featuring Butter flavored JellyBeans!
do you have a file manager type app? can you see /sdcard/DCIM from that?
there isn't nessesarily a "sdcard/music" folder unless you created one, the media scanner will find music and photos no matter where they are stored. the files would be stored in /sdcard/download if you used the browser to download them, they may also be in folders that are created by apps if you use some mp3 downloader app.
the lack of */DCIM would be odd though. unless you use a 3rd party camera app.
Yeah I use root explorer and I can access it with no problem and on windows I already tried to show hidden files too.
Already tried going to stock.

If they're not hidden, I wonder why they don't show in Windows when the phone is plugged through USB...
Do you have a USB micro SD card reader dongle?
If so, try taking the card out of the phone and plug it directly into your computer.
If the files show, something on the phone (somehow) is messing something up.
If they don't show, there's some sort of issue with the card.

You don't have to use it for the problem to show up. If it is installed it may be affecting it. Also, the .nomedia file is a hidden file so make sure show hidden files is turned on in your file explorer.

Tablet shows up as storage drive but will not allow drag and drop. At least not completely.
If I drag over and drop a folder onto the tablet, only the folder and any folders inside the folder will transfer. Nothing inside the folders will move, so it just stalls out.
I've also installed Kies, and get the same results. I'm clueless at this point. What should I look for now?
Calibre won't upload books either and gives no errors.

Windows 7, 8013, 4.1.2
Files: epub, mobi, .jpg, .opf etc.
Nothing will transfer. Nothing from Calibre, Kies or drag and drop. Yet all those applications successfully connect to the device.
I can make new folders on the tablet but that's it.
Calibre just popped up an error that says it can't communicate with the device. Which seems odd, as it shows connected status.

In Calibre does the note 10.1 show up on the top icon bar as a black icon labeled "device"
If so right click on it and then click on "configure this device" you will need to tell calibre what kind of files you want to transfer to the tablet like pdf, epub, mobi. Then you need to choose what folders you want to transfer your book files to on your tablet.
If you can not see the black tablet labeled device make sure that your usb is set to "connect as a media device (mtp)" and not set to "camera (ptp)"
Oh..... can you see the tablet in Windows explorer.... it should be the last item in Computer, it will be after all or your hard drives and cd drives. It should be listed as "GT-N8013"

Your drag and drop issue is on your windows7 computer correct? In the past I had drag and drop issues with some apps on my win7 computer and I had to do a reinstall of the OS to fix my issue.
.
Today I plugged it into another computer, it recognized right away. Open it, drag and drop a file boom, it copies.
Go back to my machine toss Ubuntu on for dual boot. It recognizes it no problem. Open it, drag n drop a file, no go.
Seems like some kind of hardware issue.

If you have a home WIFI system, you might consider installing a file manager like ES File Explorer that supports SMB. You don't have to be rooted to do it and once you input your home network settings you can transfer files wirelessly. It's much more reliable than Samsung's Kies software.

There is some major bull****tery with Windows, my hardware and my GN 10.1
It connects, pops up as a drive and file transfers work on two other Win7 boxes. I did everything imaginable to get it to transfer on my ex main pc. It would show up as a drive, I could click it and see all the files but when trying to transfer files, it was a no go. It would try. A window would pop up and the progress bar would show but then stop and not transfer anything.
Is there any app that allows you to make a folder on your computer which you can just drag and drop files into it and it then downloads to your phone instantly.. or near enough to it?
I don't want the hassle of having to (as an example) placing a file into drop box > open drop box > locate file > save file.
Is there any such thing?
Dropbox has a feature like this. You download the application on your PC (OS X, Linux, or Windows) and you set it up with your personal infomation. It'll create a folder and that folder is a synced folder.
It'll be automatically on your Dropbox and then you can download it onto your phone via the app or vice versa.
Edit: This is just a folder on your computer. Completely breaks the use of using the actual Dropbox site.

Okay.. after trying them all out... here's what iv found.
Can't seem to get drop box synced so that it automatically downloads onto my phone. I have synced enabled.
Pushbullet is prettttty good! Only thing is that i have to open the app and save the file
Airdroid is perfect except that it only has 100mb (free)
And after thinking about it.. Google+ is pretty good for sharing pictures between phone and PC.
I will keep using them all until i find the one that suits me most!
Thank you all! (i will thank you all later since iv gave 8 thanks already today lol)

I am pretty sure if you transfer files within the same network (mostly connected to the same Wifi) with Airdroid, there is no limit.

Foldersync can do many things.
