Operation

How can I move/copy pictures, videos and others files on LG G4?

Use a USB cable to transfer music, pictures, and other files from your device to a computer and vice versa.

This connection uses the MTP protocol, which is supported by most recent versions of Windows, but not by Mac OS X.

For file transfer to Mac OS X, you use the free Android File Transfer application.

Note: Some Settings, Menus, or Icons may differ from that of your device depending on your software version and wireless

           service provider.

                  ① Connect your device to the USB port on your computer. The first time connecting you may see drivers installing.

                       Once installed, slide the Notification panel down and tap the notification  . Select Media sync (MTP) from the options listed.

                  ② The device connects to your computer as a new drive, an AutoPlay prompt should appear on your screen.

                  ③ Work with this window as much as you do in the Finder window: open and close folders, create new folders, and drag files to or from it

                       and other Finder windows.
