    Bluetooth? Sign up for Google Drive or Dropbox or another free cloud service? Cables are 99p on ebay etc though

    email them to an account that you can access on the phone.
  • There's loads of ways. http://www.androidauthority.com/android-apps-to-transfer-files-from-android-to-pc-600659/

    Dropbox is easy. You could also use Google Photo (Or Amazon's version)

    the S6 DOES come with a USB cable , how else would you charge it?


    and if you say via the wireless charger , can I remind you that it uses a standard usb cable , which can be unplugged from the charger and base unit and plugged into the PC

  • 1. Buy a new cable if you've lost it. How do you not have spares?
    2. How are you charging it without a cable?

    Most wireless chargers aren't straight into the mains; they get their power the same way a phone does through a USB cable

    correct and in the case of the samsung "fast charge" unit , that is sat on my desk , it uses the standard Samsung supplied mains adaptor , a std USB lead and the small circular fast charger.


    removing the cable from the unit and the PSU , will give you a standard Samsung USB cable that you can then use to transfer picis etc

  • Not all USB cables are made the same. I've got some that will only supply power, and not data. I'd be surprised if that's the case of a wireless charger.

    We've actually got a situation in our house where my son's Nexus 2013 has a broken USB socket, so we charge it wireless. It's not fun getting stuff on/off it.

    the lead supplied by Samsung for the wireless charger is the same lead as supplied in the s6 box .


    I have this setup and know this.


    however , the OP has still not replied to the question "how do you charge your phone" , so until he answers , we are guessing
