Transfer files between phone and computer (USB)
About USB transfers
You can transfer music, photos, and other files between your phone's storage and computer (in either
direction). Use a USB cable that's capable of data transfer and isn't for charging only.
When you connect the phone and computer with the USB cable, the phone's USB connection type is set to
charging mode, which charges your battery but prevents your computer from seeing files on your phone.
Before transferring files, change the USB connection type to allow transfer of:
•
Any type of file
•
Only photos and videos
