We have two Kindle Fire's with a bunch of home videos/photos. The internal storage is full, and I would like to transfer these files to our PC. When I connect via a USB cable (I went to the drop down on the kindle and changed it from charging to transfer files) I am shown "internal storage" and "17mb free of 10.5GB", but when I open the drive, the files are not in it. I looked for invisible folders, the file explorer apps, I even tried copying the whole root folder but it shows a file size of '0 bytes' and copies instantly. Anyone have any suggestions? It is a Fire 7 (9th generation) running Fire OS 6.3.1.5

I'm trying to get the Dropbox app working on an Amazon fire stick. There's no way to do so via conventional means. That is, there doesn't appear to be a formal application release for the fire stick. But the fire stick is an Android device and one can install Dropbox "manually" (i.e., by allowing installation from external sources, finding an .apk and installling). When I do so, Dropbox indeed installs. I can even login. But after that, the menu buttons don't work and it's impossible to navigate. It's not functional at all. I'd love to hear if someone brighter than I has figured this out.
Yes, the problem persists after re-installing Dropbox on my fire stick. But I found a solution. Problem solved. I can navigate the Dropbox app on my fire stick if I install the Mouse Toggle for Fire TV app per these instructions. This little app turns the fire stick remote (after fast double-clicking the play button) into a mouse. Then with the mouse functionality enabled, I can scroll through and work with the Dropbox app on the fire stick without a problem. A second working solution is/was to install a third party file exploring app--one that lets one connect to a cloud storage account. At this writing, ES Explorer is Amazon's default suggested file management app. But I don't recommend it. It's pricey. I much prefer Solid Explorer where this version installed okay on my fire stick.
@Jane: I used the same email address and password on both my fire mantano Adobe DRM registration as well as on Adobe for my laptop. I will try again to register.
Thanks again so much for all of your help. You took time from your busy day to assist me and it so appreciated. I will figure this out one way or another!!
If you chose the portable storage option above, you can safely use an SD card to transfer files to and from the tablet using any file explorer app. But you can also automatically download Amazon content to the tablet.
Want to put CD collection on the fire tablet and use VLC since it will play flac and then pair it with the new $40 sound bar from Amazon. The fire tablet was $30 back in the day. One way to put electronic devices to practical use around the house.
Hi. I have fire hd10. I removed sd card without any transfer of files. As in android phones, we can insert and remove card easily without loosing data stored. But when I reinserted sd card, it shows me window either to format it or cancel it. I cannot proceed without formatting. I had all my data and many if apps on sd card. Is there any way to insert sd card without formatting. Well i think this format option is not good. Sometimes we transfer data from one device to other using sd cards.
I saved all my apps to the SD card before restoring o factory default. Now my Kindle Fire HD 20 can tell that the SD card has stuff on it, but it refuses to access the stuff on the card. I think your tip for using a file explorer will solve my problem, thanks.
copy content of the sd card to a new card formatted same as the original card (fat32 or ntfs),maybe you should place it first in the fire tablet & let it format it then take it out & insert it in to your pc & start copying. i hope this works for you
