Step 1: From the Home screen, swipe down twice from the top of the screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: When you have success swiped down twice, you will see some additional options appear. Under “Android System”, tap on “USB charging this device”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: When you tap on “USB charging this device”, you will see a pop up window with the title “Use USB to”. Select Transfer files as your option.
