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 an Apple® Mac® computer, you can use the Sony Bridge for Mac

application to access the file system of your device. You can download Sony Bridge for

Mac from
