Connecting to a computer via USB
You can connect your phone to a computer with a USB cable, to
transfer music, pictures, and other files between your phone’s SD
card and the computer.

card, you must follow your computer’s instructions for connecting
and disconnecting USB devices, to avoid damaging or corrupting the
files on your SD card.
