+ | ====== Moving files to an Android Device ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are many ways to get a file onto and Android device, but the simplest ones require they be on another Android first. Following are some easy ways to do it without another Android. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== email it to yourself ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you are using the K-9 mail app and ES File Explorer, this is fairly simple. | ||
+ | - email the file to yourself | ||
+ | - Open K-9, find the message, and save the attachment. By default, K-9 places attachments in the root of the SD card, but I generally tell it to put all attachments in the Downloads folder on that card. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== USB + OTC Cable ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use an OTC cable to plug a USB Thumbdrive into your Android. OTC cables plug into the power charging slot and, on most modern Androids, allow you to plug in most USB devices (mouse, keyboard, thumbdrive). | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can then use the USB drive with any file explorer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Save it on your workstation ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ES File Explorer can connect to workstations over SMB (Windows File Sharing) and FTP. Simply choose the LAN option, log into your workstation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Use Owncloud or something similar ===== | ||
+ | From your workstation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The file will end up in your sdcard/ | ||
