Also tried the ASUS 10 in tablet; the ASUS is not even registered/seen with file explorer or the tray icon.

Needless to say both tablets have usb-c. The connections do not work on either usb 2or usb 3.


Checked for updated usb drivers; none exist tonight. The micro$hit usb developers screwed up again with their usb drivers. The 1st time was I was not able to update my Mars firmware & had to search for newer usb drivers. Running win10 with the "latest" update for this month.

Did not notice before as had a couple drives/partitions as shared so was accessing stuff as in a lan environment using the wifi on the tablets.
Oh crap. I wish I had known that before I ordered it. I just assumed it would work like my previous Boyue model. This is very frustrating.

I never really knew anything about USB C other than reading posts from people complaining anytime a device was released without it. Hasn't it been around a while now?

I use Windows 7 on my laptop. I wonder if they will eventually come out with the appropriate driver? Is there anything else I can do to transfer files? (I guess I could take the micro SD card out of my phone to try using it for file transfers, although I would rather not because I had a problem with it not too long ago and I'd rather not fiddle with it.)

My Mom has a Mac (which I hate using) but maybe I can borrow it. Do most Macs work with USB C? I think her computer is a few years old.
