I'm trying to transfer some files from my cell to my laptop. the Bluetooth is being a pain and keeps stalling and failing, so I'm trying the USB cable. That's being a problem too. I choose on my phone to transfer files, and then Nautilus just keeps opening it and closing it over and over and seems stuck in a loop. What's going on & how do I stop that? I just want to plug it in & transfer the files. I tried rebooting a couple times and trying the process again, but that doesn't work.
