your device and the computer. Use the USB cable that comes
with your device, or use one of the pre-loaded apps on your

data as a Media device using MTP (Media Transfer Protocol),
or as a Camera using PTP (Photo Transfer Protocol).

cable. Your device recognizes the connection as the
last connection method you used, and displays a

to display Notifications, then touch the alert.

using Android file transfer on a Mac (see

filetransfer
).
• Camera (PTP)
: Transfer photos using camera software, and
transfer files to computers that do not support MTP.
