Hey everyone, I recently plugged my Galaxy Note 10 into my car's USB port and a portable battery charger. I've had it set up for file transfers before, but I'm kind of concerned if my phone could automatically send photos or videos to these devices without me knowing. I'm worried that something inappropriate might have transferred, like personal content I didn't intend to share. I know I can move files manually, but I'm curious if it's possible for my phone to do this automatically with the devices I've connected to, considering they have storage available.

It’s definitely understandable to be cautious! When you connect your phone to external devices like your car or a battery charger, they typically can’t access your files unless you’re in the right mode for file transfer. To check if any files were transferred, you can disconnect your phone and browse the car's system to see if your photos or videos are there. Just remember, using a power-only USB cable can help prevent any accidental data transfers.
Exactly! Keeping a non-data cable helps avoid that worry. Just be sure to check your car's system when it's unplugged to ease your mind.
