Move files to your Surface
You can easily move music, pictures, videos, and documents to your Surface. Here are some of the ways you can
move files to your Surface:
Connect to a networked computer.
Use SkyDrive.
Use a USB flash drive or a microSD card.
Connect to a network computer
Surface can access music, pictures, videos and documents on computers that are part of a network. This way you
can copy files from another PC to your Surface, or you can leave the files where they are and open them on
Surface. For more info, see the Access files on other computers section in this guide.
Use SkyDrive
Instead of moving files to Surface, you can store them in the cloud using SkyDrive. This way you can access your
files from other computers or your phone.
To learn more about SkyDrive, see the SkyDrive section in this guide.
Use a USB flash drive or microSD memory card
You move files to Surface by using a USB flash drive or memory card. Here’s how:
1. Copy files onto a USB flash drive or memory card on your other computer.
2. Insert a USB flash drive or microSD memory card into Surface.
3. Tap or click the notification that appears in the upper-right corner of the screen.
4. Tap or click Open folder to view files. File Explorer opens.
5. Select the files or folders you want to add to Surface.
6. Tap or click Home, and then tap or click Copy to.
7. Select a location. For example, choose Documents if the flash drive or memory card contains documents.
For info about organising your files, see Libraries in this guide.
For help using File Explorer (formerly called Windows Explorer), see the topic: How to work with files and folders
on Windows.com.
