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
http://mediago.sony.com/enu/features .
Backing up and restoring content
Generally, you should not save photos, videos and other personal content solely on
the internal memory of your device. If something should happen with the hardware, or
if your device is lost or stolen, the data stored on its internal memory is gone forever.
It is recommended to use the PC Companion or the Sony Bridge for Mac applications
to make backups which save your data safely to a computer, that is, an external
device. This method is especially recommended if you are updating your device
software from one Android version to another, for example, from Android version 4.4
to 5.0.
Once your data is safely backed up to a computer, you can also make a quick
backup of basic settings and data to the SD card in your device or to an external
USB storage device by using the Backup & Restore application.
It is very important that you remember the password that you set when you make a data
backup. If you forget the password, it may not be possible to restore important data such as
contacts and messages.
