Moving files by USB can sometimes encounter issues, but there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the problem. First, check that the USB cable is securely connected to both devices.
If the issue persists, try using a different USB cable or port. It's also a good idea to ensure that the device is unlocked and that the file is not open on either device before attempting to transfer it. If the file still cannot be transferred, try restarting both devices and attempting the transfer again.
In some cases, the issue may be related to the file system or file format, so converting the file to a different format or transferring it via a different method may be necessary. By following these troubleshooting steps, you can often successfully move files by USB without encountering issues.
