Copy files from SD card to PC, plug phone to PC, mass storage mode, copy file to phone ?
Or copy directly from SD card to phone using PC as the bridge, pretty sure the speed gonna suffer a lot though

I recently found some old videos on an old SD card that was sitting in my wardrobe, and I wanted to save them to my phone. They're too big to send via a chat app, email, etc. so I thought I'd upload them to Google Drive, but when I do, for some reason I can't open them afterwards. They're MP4 format, which both my PC and phone can open no problem, so I'm not sure what the issue is with these ones. See below

How long ago did you upload them? The message is telling you that the video is processing. It can take up to a few hours to be able to play videos directly from Google Drive, especially if they're large. You should be able to download them to the device you want to view them on and play the videos locally with no issues.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
