[snip]

This question would be better-posted to an Android forum, such as
androidcentral.com, androidtablets.net or androidforums.com, IMO.

That being said: I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.  I've transferred
files between my three Android devices and my computers in each of
the following ways:

USB connection.  Tablet or phone looks to the computer like a USB
file system.

You may have to go into Settings (on my Samsung tablet it's
Settings -> Storage -> USB computer connection) to set the
connection type.  (I'm not running Samsung's broken Android
implementation, anymore, either.)

MicroSD card.  8GB microSD cards are both as cheap and as common
as dirt.

SMB (aka: Microsoft Windows file sharing), using ES File Explorer
on the Android device, with the directory on the computer side
shared to the LAN.

Via DropBox.  Copy/move the file(2) to/from DropBox on one device,
and the same on another.  On the computer side you can use a web
interface or DropBox' software.

I also once used VXConnectBot's built-in file transfer capability,
when I was logged-in to a machine at work from my tablet.
(VXConnectBot is an SSH application for Android).

Btw: Android devices don't "sync" with a PC or other device like, for
example, PalmOS devices used to.  (And more's the shame, IMO.)  You
can get a connection, and manually shuffle files back and forth, but
there's no "syncing," per se.  I believe there are some apps that
have syncing ability, but not the entire device.

Good luck and HTH.

Regards,
Jim

About half of my SD cards are microSD with the SD adapter. Sometimes 
cheaper deals that way.  I have 4GB to 32GB microSD cards that I use 
them either as microSD cards or as full size SD cards.



SSH stands for Secure SHell.  If you don't know how to use that don't even
attempt to use it. Unless you want to transfer private (personal) data there
is no need for it.

you've gotten some good answers. (also I meant a micro sd card, you do 
need the little adapter, we're assuming you have the slot for 
microcards in your laptop).


I don't think ssh is hard to use and there are plenty ssh programs in 
Android but I should have said sshfs which allows you to make a folder 
on an remote computer show up as a folder on the local.


but the other suggestions may well easier, I don't know, I assume (!) 
it is easy to set sshfs up in Windows.


sometimes directly connecting via usb cable is dead simple, sometimes 
you have to install some special drivers, mtp I think it's called.


now you know there are many effective ways to transfer files.

There are adapters that allow you to use a micro SD card in a standard
slot.  You just remove the micro SD from the tablet, slide it into the
adapter and then plug the SD adapter into the reader.

I don't have a Samsung tablet, but I do have a couple of Android
devices.  I have a couple of methods I use to transfer files.  First,
just connecting to my computer via a USB cable opens up the tablet so I
can copy or move files.  I also use an app called ES File Explorer,
which allows me to access computer file shares via WiFi.  Both methods
work well.

I use an app AndSMB and copy over wifi.
Share a directory on your PC and then you should be able to copy back 
and forth. I think ES file explorer will even do this too to a share.

I use a different app (foldersync) to sync or move many files. .
