If you are using Chrome, Portal will also allow you to download entire folders. Another advantage of using Portal is that it allows you to send files directly to a micro SD card in the phone. To do this, you just need to change the destination under Save Files to in the Settings. You can also choose the destination folders for your pictures and music. Pictures will automatically go in your gallery and music into your music folder, but if you want them to end up somewhere different, you can decide that in Settings too.
This process is relatively straightforward, but there is one small issue that you might run into. You may have a problem with something called Access Point Isolation if your computer is connected to the router with a cable and your phone isn't. This is mainly a security measure and doesn't really need to be activated unless you are using Wi-Fi in a public place.
You'll be able to switch this off in your router's settings. Another useful app for transferring music, photos, videos and other files is AirDroid. You can then manage your collection using a music app like Phonograph once the files are on your phone. Connect your device to your PC and wait for it to appear. Download and install it onto your Mac, and then connect your Android device. This process can take some time depending on how many files you decide to transfer. Most file managers will support either moving your files directly or copying them to leave the original files intact.
Select your music files or the folder containing your files and choose to either copy or move them. Move from your USB storage to either your internal storage or SD card, and then paste or move the files there.
Your music files will be then stored on your device, ready for you to access in a music app of your choice. With 15 GB of free storage, Google Drive offers the easiest method for you to keep your music collection synced across all of your devices, including Android and PC. Unless you want to download your files one by one, folder by folder, the easiest method is to use CloudBeats. Using a third-party music app for Android allows you to download your files to your device directly from cloud storage providers, including from Google Drive and Dropbox.
You could use alternatives like CloudPlayer instead. Start by uploading your music to Google Drive on the web. The files will sync to your device. You can play your music collection in CloudBeats or, if you prefer, once the files are downloaded, you can play them through Google Play Music or another Android music app.
Dropbox comes with 2 GB of storage for free—enough for hundreds of songs. Uploading files to Dropbox is easy. Download and install Dropbox and sign in with your account. Alternatively, you could change the location of your Dropbox folder to match the folder you currently use for your music collection. It may take a little time to upload your collection. Your Dropbox folders should then appear in the app.
Once you click download, your music files will begin to download, ready for offline playback in CloudBeats or your preferred music app.
Install the app onto your Android device and sign up for an AirDroid account or sign in if you already have one. AirDroid supports Windows and macOS, but it also has a web interface to let you upload files using your browser. AirDroid will then upload these files to your Android device wirelessly.
For the time being, however, you can use the Google Play Music Manager to take advantage of this free , song storage. This tool will scan your PC, checking common folders like those iTunes would use or any folders you personally select for music files. The company will likely announce whether or not your files will be moving over with you to YouTube Music when an end date for Google Play Music is announced.
