Connecting Your Device To A Computer - Sony Xperia Tablet Z SGP321 User Manual

Connecting your device to a computer

Connect your device to a computer and start transferring pictures, music and other
file types. The easiest ways to connect are using a USB cable or Bluetooth wireless
technology.
When you connect your device to the computer using a USB cable, you are
prompted to install the PC Companion application on your computer. PC Companion
helps you access additional computer applications to transfer and organise media
files, update your device, synchronise device content, and more.
You might not be able to transfer some copyright-protected material between your device and
a computer.
Transferring and handling content using a USB cable
Use a USB cable connection between a computer and your device for easy transfer
and management of 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're transferring music, video, pictures or other media files to your device, it's
best to use the Media Go™ application on your computer. Media Go™ converts
media files so that you can use them on your device.
