Photos/videos saving twice

[Aliasnotneeded]

Hi,
Is there a way I can disable this feature?
When importing media to my pc I have to go through everything,
Pictures save as jpegs and dsc's.
I would like to set it up so everything gets saved on my memory card.
Kind regards
Paul

The pictures and/or videos will be saved twice if you share them through an app, such as whatsapp, could you elaborate more on your issue.

Hi there...

So, when you say that you have to go through everything.. JPG and DSC... do you mean that you have 2 different files in your computer or that in both SD card and Computer you get also the DSC? Are you using some Nikon's app in your phone or computer?DSC is not really a picture BUT a file with few infos from Nikon's cameras or applications

Hi, thanks for the speedy reply, I do have canonbsoftware but on a completely different had (ssd actually) .
Everything seems to be saving both on my phones memory and my memory card.

I can't see how to attach anything, but I have two copies of the same photo, one labelled 14763748274.jpeg and another dsc_0039.jpeg

The real picture should be 

DCIM > 100ANDRO 

check the picture's details.

Hi uli,
I do use msgr but these photos haven't been shared. I also have photos of my daughter playing in the bath (which of course I won't share) duplicated.

Now I finally understand it, no Nikon app involved.

The two files are: 

Thumbnail (example: 23718371893.jpg)

Photo (example: dsc_123.jpg)

You can safely delete everything that is not dsc_*.jpg - the numeric file is just a low resolution thumbnail. Beware if you delete them from your computer you are safe, if you delete them from your phone it will be just temporary because the Album application will start generating them back as soon as you use the Album app. Also, if you delete the thumbnails your album app will be initially slow as it will start regenerate the thumbnails.

Just for the records, thumbnails are just small resolution previews of your full resolution photos.

I've now formatted my memory card, as it was well full and despite only having 3 extra apps, I'm constantly getting the"transfer data to" message

Thanks yogem.
So is there a way I can disable the "transferring of the thumbnails" when I import to my pc? As it is a pain in the proverbial going through the photos, to check which are duplicates.
