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.
