Drag and Drop Files

After Multi-Screen Collaboration is established between your phone and laptop, you can drag and drop files such as pictures and videos between them to make your work easier.

From phone to laptop:

• In the phone window on your laptop, open Gallery or Files, click and hold down on a picture or video, click and hold down on the selected files until a dragging icon displays, then drag the files to a folder or the desktop on your laptop.

• In the phone window on your laptop, drag a selected picture or a segment of text and drop it in an opened document on your laptop.

  For example, drag a picture or a segment of text from Notepad in the phone window, and drop it into an Office document opened on your laptop, then continue editing on your laptop.

Transfer files from your laptop to your phone:

• Drag and drop a picture or video from your laptop to Gallery > Albums in the phone window on your laptop.

  The file will be saved in the folder that is open in Files, or in the Huawei Share folder by default.

  For example: Drag and drop a picture from your laptop to an opened note in the phone window, then continue editing on your phone.
