Transfer Pics from A20 Galaxy to PC

Right, I'm totally new to all this smart phone stuff. The last phone I had was just that, a mobile phone. As a result, I've only just learnt how to take pics with the thing, let alone transfer the images to my computer. I understand that the only way to do so is via the USB cable used for charging? Well, okay, I connected it to the computer and yep, the phone icon came up in "Devices and drives". All good so far. Anyway, I clicked on it and I got its folder. I clicked on that and I got all the inner folders for videos, pictures etc. But when I clicked on the pictures folder it said the folder was empty, even though I know that I took a load the other day and can see them on the phone. So what's going on and how do I get my pics to show up in the pics folder so I can transfer them to my computer?

Search your phones Settings for 'USB Transfer', set it to 'File Transfer'.

I've been doing some experimenting since my OP. I managed to send a pic to my Yahoo account. Is there a way to send multiple pics to my Yahoo account?

Do you get any kind of prompt when you plug the phone in via USB?
