Connecting to a Computer

Connect your device to a computer to transfer data between
your device and the computer. Use the USB cable that comes
with your device, or use one of the preloaded apps on your
device to connect wirelessly.
Transferring Data
Connect your device to a computer, via USB cable, to transfer
data as a Media device using MTP (Media Transfer Protocol),
or as a Camera using PTP (Photo Transfer Protocol).
1. Attach your device to the computer with a USB data
cable. Your device recognizes the connection as the
last connection method you used, and displays a
connection alert in the Status Bar and Notifications.
2. From the Home screen, sweep your finger downward
to display Notifications. Touch the alert.
3. Select a connection method:
• Media device (MTP): Transfer media files with
Windows, or using Android file transfer on a Mac (see
android.com/filetransfer).
• Camera (PTP): Transfer photos using camera
software, and transfer files to computers that do not
support MTP.
4. On your computer, choose a method for accessing your
device. Available options depend on the programs
installed on your computer.
5. Transfer files to the memory card (not included). When
finished, you can disconnect the USB cable.
