Alright, another one to stump all you guys who are smarter than me.
Alright, another one to stump all you guys who are smarter than me. This one is about Android and ES File Explorer (Pro).
Recently I manually moved a bunch of files from an app (.WAV files, if you must know) to the "Documents" folder on my Android. When I went to the folder via the ES File Explorer app to look for those files, they were all there: SD=>Documents. Easy-peasy, right?
Then I plugged my Android into my Windows10 computer, chose the files transfer setting and went to look for my files in the SD=>Documents folder. Guess what wasn't there? You're right! My files.
I finally found a workaround by selecting them all in ES File Explorer and dropping them into the main SD card folder instead of "Documents", but now one file still shows as in the main SD card folder while not showing on my Win10 computer in Windows Explorer. It also will not allow me to "share" the file to another location, citing the ".wav" file is a forbidden filetype. I'll admit, maybe the file is too large, but forbidden?
Any idea why simple .wav files wouldn't show up on my desktop but they're visible in the proper folder using an Android files explorer?

You can try Airdroid or Portal py Pushbullet if Windows itself doesn´t work with Android.
So weird, but I learned by accident that if I used ES File Explorer to then move the files from one folder to another, they suddenly become visible in Win10 Explorer exactly where I moved them to.
