Help Transferphotostomy PC

It is easy to copy files from my PC to the Y300 phone using a micro USB cable.
But I can't find a way to do the opposite.
How do I transfer photos taken by the smartphone camera to my PC ?
So far, I had to email them as attachments to an email account in my pc.

The photos are stored in Gallery folder in my phone.

On a similar subject, any way I can "move" those photos to the sd card I have installed in the phone ?

Please I do NOT want to "root" my phone.

Thank you.
 
The photos are stored in Gallery folder in my phone.
That's your first problem, assuming that Gallery is showing you pictures from a particular folder that holds the pictures it's showing. It doesn't work that way. When you turn the phone on, take a picture or make any other changes to media, the media scanner makes a list of the pictures on the phone. That list is used by the Gallery app to show you those pictures. They can be anywhere on the phone - including the SD card.

On a similar subject, any way I can "move" those photos to the sd card I have installed in the phone ?
First find the picture files. (Use a file manager app like Total Commander.) Then copy the files to your SD card. Once you know the copy worked (press the file on the SD card - an app should open the file and show you the picture), delete the file from the place it was originally. (You can move the file instead of copy/delete, but if something goes wrong during the move, you lose the picture.)
 
Thank you replying.
I have looked everyway including File Manager app. I cannot find the photo except in Gallery.

I opened File manage and looked both Internal and SD card. Not there.
The File Manager must be a built-in app. It is not called Total Command.

P.s. I also have Astro File manager. I looked both sdcard0 and sdcard1. Not there.
 
Finally I have found out where photos taken by camera have gone to......sdcard1 / DCIM under which there is a Camera folder.

Now I can either copy or totally move from the phone to my pc.
