Managing files using a computer
Use a USB Type-C cable connection between a Windows computer and your device
to transfer and manage your files.
Once the two devices are connected, you can choose if you want to charge your
device, transfer files, use it as a power supply or use it for MIDI input. Your
computer will detect your device when you select the Transfer files connection
mode. The default connection mode is set to Charge this device.
With Xperia Companion you can access the file system of your device. If you do not
have Xperia Companion installed, you are requested to install it when you connect
your device to the computer.
Always use a USB cable intended for your specific Xperia model and make sure it is
completely dry.
