Smartphone to PC file transfer?

Have they figured out that copying data is a fundamental part of
computing? My iPhone 3G does not easily copy files to/from a PC.
My next smartphone definitely will. That's just critical here.

No problem with my Galaxy S3.

If it has bluetooth, file transfer is easy. Windows 8.1 has native
bluetooth drivers that worked with my Bluetooth adaptor.

I routinely transfer files between my Samsung phone and my computer.

That's because it's an iPhone...

I'm sure Apple's figured that out, but it does not seem to fit into
their paradigm.

Make your next smartphone and Android device and the problem will go
away. You will need a file manager that does LAN stuff... but there's
plenty of those and they're free. I use "ES File Explorer".

By "they" you mean Apple, of course. It's no problem with Android
phones, as noted in a thread just before yours.

No, I don't just mean Apple, of course. Requiring a file manager
with LAN isn't my idea of easy file transfer between devices. Easy
file transfer between devices is when the device shows up like a
USB flash drive shows up automatically in Windows Explorer.

You are quite in error. Android phones natively show up as USB flash
drives in Windows Explorer. All the rest of us (i.e., Android device
owners) have to do is connect the USB cable to the device and wait a few
seconds, as with any other USB drive.

It couldn't be easier - for us. Apparently, that's not so for you.

Using a file manager for LAN support is one way of doing it wirelessly.
Showing up as a flash drive in Windows Explorer is native to all the
Android devices I have had when plugged in using USB.
