I believe if you choose "transferring images" only image files will be allowed, which would stop you from backing up other files, while "transferring files" will allow any type of file.&nbsp; Oh, and please do not play with any other settings, unless you know exactly what you are doing.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="Screenshot_20250202_124726_Settings.jpg" style="width: 92px;"><img src="https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1224597i453E911E8CB5DB0D/image-size/small?v=v2&amp;px=200" role="button" title="Screenshot_20250202_124726_Settings.jpg" alt="Screenshot_20250202_124726_Settings.jpg" /></span><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="Screenshot_20250202_124800_Settings.jpg" style="width: 92px;"><img src="https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1224598i07D9B387BF7CA29D/image-size/small?v=v2&amp;px=200" role="button" title="Screenshot_20250202_124800_Settings.jpg" alt="Screenshot_20250202_124800_Settings.jpg" /></span><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="Screenshot_20250202_124439_Settings.jpg" style="width: 92px;"><img src="https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1224600iE8B218EF2047DF5F/image-size/small?v=v2&amp;px=200" role="button" title="Screenshot_20250202_124439_Settings.jpg" alt="Screenshot_20250202_124439_Settings.jpg" /></span><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="Screenshot_20250202_124451_Settings.jpg" style="width: 92px;"><img src="https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1224601iB0EB5EEAEB57A982/image-size/small?v=v2&amp;px=200" role="button" title="Screenshot_20250202_124451_Settings.jpg" alt="Screenshot_20250202_124451_Settings.jpg" /></span></P> Sun, 02 Feb 2025 17:54:09 GMT realaud 2025-02-02T17:54:09Z
