Managing files and applications
File manager
File manager is used to manage content and organize
media, both within the phone memory and on Memory
Sticks. The File manager view is displayed in two tabs;
tab for the phone memory and tab for the
Memory Stick.
Protected files
Downloaded or received files may be copyright-
protected. Copyright-protection may prevent content
from being copied, modified or transferred. If a file is
copyright-protected, or if an access key has expired or is
unavailable, an icon is displayed by the file name.
Handling files and folders
With File manager you can view, rename, copy, move
and delete files and folders. Select
Tools > File manager.
Many operations in File manager can also be launched
from
Tools > Control panel > Other.
Sharing data with other devices
Your phone creates its own folder structure on the
Memory Stick. Other devices must access the same
folder structure to interact with your phone files. On a
computer you can browse to the required folder on the
Memory Stick. With a device that does not allow you to
browse folders (for example, a camera) you use File
manager to put the required file into a folder accessible
by that device.
Launching media files
You can launch media files direct from File manager by
selecting them.
Renaming a Memory Stick
You can rename a Memory Stick to give it a name that is
meaningful to you. This name will be shown in the
folders menu. Select
Tools > File manager > File
manager > Device > Format Memory Stick > Rename
Formatting a Memory Stick
New Memory Sticks are normally formatted the first
time they are inserted in a phone.
