Uploading files

How do I get my iPhone to upload files to my computer? I used to be able to connect with my usb cable to my PC and upload photos but now it works for about 20 seconds and then gives me an error message.

iPhone 8 won’t upload pics to PC I have tried multiple ways to go about this and sometimes it will do some pics but then say “error this device is unreachable” or sometimes it’ll say it right away. I have tried both USB ports, and 4 different cords but it happens each time. My iPhone storage is now full and I can’t do anything until I free up space, and my photos are taking up the most room.

Iphone 8 failure when attempting to transfer image files from phone to computer "Catastrophic failure" Hi Everyone, I have an Apple Iphone 8 and connect it via the lightning cable to my HP Envy Notebook running Windows 10, with 12GB available Ram, and ample storagespace on my C drive. When I connect my iPhone to the PC to attempt to transfer image files from the iPhone internal storage- (within the DCIM folder) I can only see some of the more recent image files. The older images (> 1 year) are not visible in the folder. Further, sometimes when attempt to copy the files that are visible, I recieve a very non specific error message "Catastrophic failure" or a message "Error Copying file or folder, a devices attached to the system is not functioning" Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated Thanks!
