Copying images from internal memory

echomrg — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 11:49:35 GMT

Hi all, i have what may be a silly question but i've been trying to solve this of a few days without success.

Some of the apps i use on my phone save pictures to the internal memory instead of the SD memory, i want to access the pictures in the internal memory to copy them on my PC.

Both Image Capture on my mac and Sony Bridge allow me to copy pictures and videos from the SD but not from the internal memory.

The SD can also be mounted as an external device and files copied.

I couldn't find a way to see pictures and movies stored on the internal memory.

Sony Bridge has an option that should let you choose between SD Card and Internal Storage when a device has both but, even if i set it to use the internal memory it only shows the SD Card.

I tried copying the files from the internal memory directory to the SD with File Manager but it didn't work.

I could sync everything via DropBox or Google Drive but it's definitely a suboptimal solution and i would avoid it.

Is there a way to copy pictures and movies from the internal memory?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Marcello

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

This depends on the app itself, how it's coded/written to save the files and where to save them. If you are unable to move them via a file manager, it sounds like the folder is write protected.

Hi Hampus,

I'm talking about the default Sony Camera App, what i'd like to do is copy the pictures i take with it (sometimes it writes to the internal storage even if it's configured to write on the SD) on my computer.

I'll check if the problem is with write protection.

Thanks for your answer.
