Managing Files Using A Computer - Sony Xperia C3 Dual User Manual

Managing files using a computer

Use a USB cable connection between a Windows® computer and your device to
transfer and manage your files. Once the two devices are connected, you can drag
and drop content between your device and the computer, or between your device's
internal storage and SD card, using the computer's file explorer.
If you have an Apple® Mac® computer, you can use the Sony Bridge for Mac
application to access the file system of your device. You can download Sony Bridge
for Mac from http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/bridge-for-mac/.
If you're transferring music, video, pictures or other media files to your device, use the Media
Go™ application on your Windows® computer. Media Go™ converts media files so that you
can use them on your device. To learn more and download the Media Go™ application, go to
