You may want to transfer some of the data on your OnePlus device to PC for safekeeping. This is actually one of the best ways to keep data like photos and videos safe, by backing them up to your PC. But how do you transfer data from your OnePlus device to your PC? Well, there are a lot of different ways although some are more effective than others.

In understanding that you don’t want to spend hours transferring data from your Oneplus to the PC, we will only outline the easiest to use and the most effective solutions below.

1. Transfer Files from OnePlus to PC Directly via USB

One of the easiest ways to transfer data from OnePlus to your PC is to connect the device directly to the computer via USB. In this way, you can very easily just select the type of files to transfer and then copy them to the PC’s hard drive. The following simple steps will show you how to transfer files from OnePlus to PC via USB;

Step 1: Use the device’s original USB cable to connect the device to the PC. A notification should appear on the device. When you see this notification, choose “Transfer Files” and the device should appear on your computer.

Step 2: When it does, click on the device’s name to open it. Then double-click on the “Internal Storage” folder to open the files on the device and then simply copy the files you want to transfer to the PC.

But some people have reported difficulty connecting the device to the PC, especially since a notification doesn’t pop up on the device when you connect the device to PC. If this happens, follow these simple steps to enable Android USB settings;

Step 1: Go to Settings > About Phone and then scroll down to find “Build Number” and tap on it seven times. A message should pop up saying that you have been made a developer.

Step 2: Now go back to Settings > Developer Options and tap “USB Debugging.”

Step 3: Confirm that you want to enable USB debugging and then scroll down the list to tap “Select USB Configuration.” Tao “MTP (media Transfer Protocol” and you should be able to easily transfer your file to the PC easily.
