After you start Android File Transfer once, it opens automatically when you connect your device to your computer. 2. Connect your device to the computer with a USB cable. Android File Transfer starts, if it's not already running, and opens a window that displays the contents of your device, along with storage space details at the bottom of the window. 76 3.
