Hi all - excuse me if this question seems obvious, I am not that tech savvy.

I bought two external hard drives (one back up) to transfer all my photos/videos/files from my iPhones. I connected my phone to my PC and the iPhone storage stores the items in folders by the month. When I drag and drop each folder to my PC, not all the items in the folder are transferring over. I see no errors when importing and it completes fine.

I even used the windows Photos app and imported from there and not all the items transferred. It feels like I need to import them in batches per item, not by folder to make sure all of them transfers over.

Are there any other methods that work better? I’m in no rush to if I have to be meticulous it’s ok, so long as I don’t lose any files.

Thanks in advance for any guidance and tips.
