I have a SanDisk SD card from 2023 that contains all my important files, including memories, photos, videos, and PDFs from 2020 to 2024. When I try to transfer the files to my Samsung Android phone, I get a notification stating that the SD card isn't functioning properly and has been set to read-only to prevent data loss. I've successfully moved most files, but the videos in the camera folder are giving me trouble. Although I can view and play these videos on the phone, transferring them results in errors. I've tried moving them to my Windows computer, but that process fails too. The videos are really meaningful to me, and I need help finding a safe way to recover them from this corrupted SD card!

For your situation, it's best to avoid using your phone for backups since the USB connections can be unreliable for large transfers. Instead, try using a computer with a card reader to access the SD card directly. If your computer doesn’t have one, consider getting a USB card reader—it makes the process much smoother. That way, you can back up the files directly from the card without involving your phone. If you need help with the backup process, look up some tech support guides online.
If the videos are super important, you might want to consider next steps. Since the SD card is compromised, think of it as disposable moving forward. Look for another way to recover those files from the card to your computer, then you can transfer them to your phone in a safer manner. You should avoid relying on the faulty SD card any longer.
Yeah, I get it! I'm just trying to get the crucial data off before it’s too late. I hope I can recover everything I need!
Thanks for the tip! So it's really the phone's connection causing the issues? I'll definitely grab one of those card readers. Fingers crossed it works out!
