You can try MyPhoneExplorer [1] which is an Android/Windows combo which
can use an USB or WiFi connection. [snip]
My advice is to start with MyPhoneExplorer.

Many thanks for this tip, Frank. These two apps make synching
over Wi-Fi easy and fast. Both a phone client and a Windows
desktop client are required, the latter being available from
fosshub.com. The interface is a bit fiddly but once the tasks
are set up and saved, two clicks are all that is needed to update
a folder and its subfolders on the SD card. I spent a lot of
time looking for an easy and reliable way to do this and this is
it!


You're welcome

For the kind of tasks you describe, you may also want to have a look
at 'SyncMe Wireless'.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bv.wifisync

SyncMe Wireless can do one-way or two way 'syncing' between an Android
device and a SMB Network Share. Since a Network Share can also be any
folder on a Windows system, you can 'sync' between Android and Windows.

SyncMe Wireless allows you to set up jobs for repeated operations and
such jobs can be executed manually or scheduled.

Don't be misled/put_off by the 'sync' term. If the destination folder
is empty, then a one-way sync is effectively a copy.

For example, I use SyncMe Wireless to make full/incremental backup of
(the content of) my Android filesystems to (a HDD connected to) my
Windows system.

A difference with MyPhoneExplorer is that you initiate the operations
on/from the Android device instead of on/from the Windows computer. But
by combining the two, you can control SyncMe Wireless from
MyPhoneExplorer.
