Sideloading Files - Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK User Manual

Sideloading Files

Sideloading means transferring
files from your personal
computer to your NOOK over
the USB cable.
Note: If your personal computer is a Mac, you
will need to install a free software program,
Android File Transfer (AFT), on your Mac before
you can transfer files. AFT is available here:
https://www.android.com/filetransfer/. If your
computer is a PC, it will automatically detect your
NOOK and install the software drivers it needs, if they
are not already installed.
To sideload content:
1. Connect your NOOK's USB cable to a USB port
on your computer.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your
device's Charger/Accessory Port on the bottom
edge of your device.
Once you have connected your NOOK to your
computer, you will be able to access your
NOOK's storage as though it were another drive
connected to your computer. NOOK content
appears in a NOOK folder.
NOOK
DRAFT For Internal Use Only
The NOOK folder includes these subfolders:
Books, Magazines, Newspapers, Videos, and My
Files. The My Files folder is for personal files you
have not purchased through the NOOK Store.
For example, if you have created PDFs on your
computer and want to view them on your NOOK,
drag them to the My Files folder.
3. Drag files from your computer to the folder in
which you want to store them on your NOOK.
4. To disconnect your NOOK, use your computer's
file system to eject your NOOK as though
were you ejecting a disk. Then disconnect the
USB cable.
Note: To view the amount of storage available on
your NOOK, open the Settings app, tap the General
tab, and tap Storage in the menu on the left.
Note: You can also transfer files to your NOOK
using Dropbox or any other file-sharing app you
have installed on your device.
