Hi,
I'm trying to copy many files from my cellular Android to Windows (photos, videos). It seems that some of the files are corrupt (don't know which and how many). When the copy reaches the first corrupt file, it shows the following message and stops the copy:
Error moving file or folder.
Unspecified error.
Can the corrupt files be skipped and the copy continued? I have not found this option...
Many thanks!
How to skip corrupt files during copy and continue copying?

It's probably just a damaged media database on the phone.
To fix it, you can use Total Commander for Android:
1. Disconnect your phone from Windows
2. Create a button in the lower buttonbar with:
Function type: Internal command
Command: Click >> and pick command nr 130
3. Select the folder(s) with the problematic files
4. Tap on the button created above
5. Reconnect your phone

Thanks for your reply, however -
1. I initiated Total Commander copy from Windows - I don't have it on Android yet.
2. I do think the files are corrupt - I tries to activate on the phone the video that stopped the copy and at some point it hung. Same happened with the next file that caused the stop. So I assume the files themselves are corrupt. Is there a way to skip them during copy?
Thanks!
