Corrupted files
Copied DCIM folder to my laptop using this, but about 80% of the files are corrupted, videos won't play etc. Took a few minutes. About 500 files / 2GB . Used latest version of Dukan , Pixel 4a , Windows 11
Same issue, windows 10, Galaxy note 20. Copying the old fashion way, while much slower, doesn't corrupt files. Opening the files on the created drive works fine too, it's just in the copy. Using usb3 cable but it's the one that came with the phone, which from what I read online is USB3 ports but USB2-limited
My guess is it has to do with data being caught in the buffer when copying and it not getting finalized properly before the stream is closed? But this is a blind guess.
I've seen this happen once, but it only seems to happen very rarely and I'm not able reproduce it. As a workaround, try opening/copying the files again (or if that doesn't work, unplug and re-plug the phone).
Zip files copied from a disk created in AndroidDrive are almost all defective.
Example:
IMG_20241116_192504_461.jpg is the original file.
1.zip is IMG_20241116_192504_461.jpg in the archive.
2.zip is the defective 1.zip, - copied to the computer from the disk created in AndroidDrive. 1.zip 2.zip foto1 foto2
Same here (Win10 and Samsung S23):
- installed AndroidDrive
- copied a few JPEG's
- all corrupt
- opening/copying the files again and unplug and re-plug the phone changed nothing
- ExifToolGui reports "File Format Error"
- copying in mass storage mode (= without AndroidDrive) works perfectly fine.
