I am trying to transfer the profile (702Mb) for my wife from her Dell E6210 to her new Samsung Galaxy TabPro S W700. I transferred the profile folder to a usb stick, checked it was there, then connected the USB stick to a USB to USB C adaptor, and inserted it into the Tablet. When I open the USB key, the contents are not there ! I cheked it again on the Dell and the profile was empty.

WHY?

If you're trying to transfer the Thunderbird profile to the tablet, you're probably wasting your time. Thunderbird does not run on Android.

That is not the problem - the Galaxy TabPro runs Windows 10 !

No chance that the USB stick was automatically reformatted for you?

Try it again now that the tablet has had a chance to preen the USB stick drive. (Even with Windows 7, I find it frequently whinges about USB drives that were written to elsewhere, and it insists on checking them for me. It never finds any errors.)

And try it the other way round; if you write to the stick from the tablet, can you see that in the Dell?
