Yeah, this rarely works. It takes a long time to acknowledge there's any files, and then it tries to copy them, and then crashes instead. Over and over. Turning off the mechanism that autoconverts image files from HEIC to JPG helps (I never tried JUST video files, but those are unreliable either way in my experience). Obnoxious, overall.

What about copying to a USB memory?

Straight from the phone? How do you do that?

Hmm I was thinking about a USB cable to the laptop (I do with my Android), but wrote USB memory instead.

Now I see in the comment above that cables often don't work.

I wonder if there're apps for saving files to USB memories
