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 a PC or an Apple
®
Mac
®
computer, you can use Xperia™ Companion to
access the file system of your device.
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 Xperia™ Companion software 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 to a newer Android version.
