I have tried it both this way and via some tool like import via MS Photos and earlier Picasa. It works for a while but after a few hundred photos, just seems to die. I've had this problem on every PC I own, with all iPhones I own, using a ton of different USB wires and ports. And it seems to degrade over time somehow, the first attempt I might get 200 photos moved, then the next time I get 20. Stuff like that. I assume it was related to the driver because when it stops working, the phone disappears from the file explorer. Of course, it could totally be me somehow, but I've tried everything I know to eliminate user error.
