Copying files and folders between phone and PC

When copying large files between your phone and the PC, it is recommended that you use a USB cable connection (if available). With a USB connection you can copy large files more quickly than with other connection methods.

  1. Connect your phone to the PC.

  2. Copy the file or folder you want to move to the phone.

Note:

The background images that are preset on your phone can be seen in the phone’s Graphics folder. Also ringing tones that are preset on your phone can be seen in Nokia Phone Browser, however, they cannot be opened or copied on the PC. With Symbian phones you can view only images and ringing tones that have been downloaded to the phone.

If a file on the phone is not shown in Nokia Phone Browser, check that there are no special characters in file name. The Windows file system may not support all special characters in the phone’s file or folder names.

Tip:

You can also use drag and drop to move files and folders between your phone and the PC. To refresh the phone contents view select View -> Refresh or click F5.
