How to transfer photos from Surface tablet to PC?

[mktoater]

There are lots of articles and Microsoft makes it super easy to get photos, videos and other files to the Tablet... but how do I get them from the tablet to the PC?

Assume I have no wifi, and both computers are Windows 8.
Do I have to use SkyDrive / email / flash drive to move the files? Is there a way to plug it into the computer via USB to get the pictures?

This should allow you to transfer files directly.

I was looking for a ..err .. more simple solution. Is it not able to plug & play?

That was the simplest method I could find. You are essentially connecting 2 computers via a USB cable.

Go to the desktop then just drag from the pictures folder to a jump drive that is plugged in.

how would you transfer files from one your computer to your laptop? through usb?
your surface doesnt have a internet connection? that way you would only be able to transfer through a flash drive
a network connection even through wifi should be quicker than that
my surface rt is in the same homegroup as my computer (through wifi) and so i just drag the photos to a shared file
