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 choose whether to charge your device,
transfer files, or use it for MIDI input. Your computer will detect your device when you
select the
Transfer files (MTP)
connection mode. The default connection mode is set to
Charging only
.
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 the USB cable type intended for your Xperia™ model and make sure it is
completely dry.
