When you plug the phone into your computer swipe the screen down and touch transfer files and that should do it

Also you could download smart switch and will keep everything together

Before the transfer, you need to change the USB configuration from charging to either MTP or PTP, media or picture transfer protocol.

If they use smart switch it ask the phone for permission and you just have to tap it on the phone when it asks

When I swipe down, I don't have a File Tranfsfer option or anything that changes the USB configuration.  I have a Pixel phone.

I'm sorry for any confusion this has caused, chrispendleton. I know how important it is to be able to save your pictures to your computer. You can find detailed information on how to transfer these files using this link. http://spr.ly/6603ENxHd Option 2 will provide you with the steps depending on the operating system you are using and walk you through the steps to locate the 'File Transfer' options. Does this help?
