Best way to transfer photos from Android 4.4.4 to Windows 7 I just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy s5 running android 4.4.4. On my old phone running gingerbread, I was able to use the USB Mass Storage Device (MSD) feature to browse, delete, and copy photos (to a Windows 7 PC) very quickly since that phone basically acted as a standard USB drive.

On the Galaxy s5, it uses MTP, and trying to perform these same functions is painfully slow. I have over 1,000 photos on the phone, and it takes several minutes for them to be all listed in the DCIM/Camera folder. And even longer for thumbnails to appear. Nothing appears to be cached for quick access.

Considering that MSD is no longer available, and MTP is excruciatingly slow, is there a better way to handle accessing photos on the phone and transferring them to a PC? I would prefer to avoid cloud services/features.
1) Use Air Droid Copy to comp, copy to phone [too long]

2) Switch on dropbox lan sync and transfer the photos by installing dropbox on your new phone too.

Both the methods will be a bit slow, but at least you can start the process and let things be taken care of.

OP did not want cloud solutions, you can try out Dukto
