Most of us like to install or transfer multimedia files onto our devices, or to transfer multimedia files from our mobile to our computer. If you have a Sony Xperia device, it's easy, and you don't need to download the application for transferring, as it should be automatically installed in your computer once you connect your mobile to your computer.

In this article we will provide you basic instructions for transferring multimedia files to and from your Sony Xperia mobile.

1. 1
   You need to have your Sony Xperia USB connector/cable

   .

   You MUST use the connector cable that came with your mobile. You can try a connector that is compatible to your mobile, but they never work as well as the one intended for your device, and often, if they are cheap ones, don't work at all. If you've lost, or misplaces the original cable, it would be best if you purchased exactly the same one that came with your Sony Xperia.
