It is quite convenient to have the same songs and pictures on both you HTC phone and computer. In the past, when people want to transfer their data from an Android device to a PC or from a PC to a phone, usually they use MTP (media transfer protocol). Of course, that is a way to do this. You can go to to the disk where the phone is on your computer and find corresponding folders. But, have you wander if there are any easier ones? Well, you are going to learn some of them in this article.
Why Do We Need File Managing Program to Transfer Media? Well, take songs for example. Different files downloaded by different apps are not stored in the same folder. If you are doing this manually, it could take a while. And it's not just songs you are going to copy. The photos taken by camera and filtered by apps are also in the same situation. So, using a tool means great efficient improvment.
In the later part, HTC Sync Manager, Android Data Recovery, Android Manager and Mobile Transfer will be introduced. They are file explorers in a way and can be used to sync media files between HTC handset and PC.
Note: The things that you have saved from your phone to a computer can also act as a backup, which can be used to recover lost files from HTC in the future.

Without question, Android Data Recovery is among the best file managing processes because of its user-friendly operations. The program is more of a tool that you can backup the data, so the interface is much simpler, which does not provide the fancy but rarely used features. As a result, it is more efficient.
Step 1. Enable USB Debugging

Then, Android Data Recovery will ask you to pick the wanted kinds of file. Tick "Gallery", "Video" and "Audio". Pressing the "Backup" button is the last thing to do.
Part Four: Sync HTC Media Files with Mobile Transfer
Mobile Transfer is specially designed for data transfer between phones and computers. Also, when you are going to copy the information from one smartphone to another, it can get it done.
Step 1. Download Mobile Transfer and Run It on a Computer
The software is available by clicking the buttons below. (If you are a Windows user, click the left button; Mac users please choose the one on the right.) Launch it and plug the handset in.
Step 2. Choose "Back Up Your Phone" and Save Data to PC
When you open the program, click "Back Up Your Phone".
Your phone on the left side will be automatically detected. The circles behind the items in the middle mean that the data are being scanned. After it ends, check "Photos", "Music" and "Videos". Click "Start Copy" and wait until you see a pop-up box.
Step 3. Select "Restore From Backups" and Send Media Files to HTC
If you want to copy things from a computer to your phone, choose "Restore From Backups" at the beginning. (You may choose "MobileTrans" or backups made by other applications.) On the left side, you can pick one of the history backup files. And then, tick the last three items. Next, click "Start Copy" and wait.
There are many differences among HTC Sync Manager, Android Data Recovery, Android Manager, Mobile Transfer. But, in the practical use, Android Data Recovery supports more file types and is smoother. Also, HTC Sync Manager can't transfer multiple file kinds at the same time.
Note: If, unfortunately, you data are lost without any backup, Android Data Recover can help get the Android media back.
