Transfer Videos To A Phone'S Memory Card

In addition to built-in memory, smartphones and many cell phones feature a memory slot that allows you to expand your phone's space capacity by inserting a memory card --- which range in size from 1GB to 32GB. Using the connectivity device for your mobile phone (i.e., USB cable or Bluetooth), you can connect your phone to a computer to transfer video files to the phone's memory card.


Instructions


1. Connect the phone to the computer via USB or Bluetooth. For Blackberry devices, select "Yes" when prompted to use the device as "Mass Storage." When connected to the computer, the phone becomes a "Removable Drive" in the file explorer drive list.


2. Open a file explorer such as Windows Explorer and navigate to the video to upload to your phone.


3. Right-click on the video file and select "Copy."








4. Navigate to the "Removable Drive" enter and click on the drive. Most phones have a folder named "Video." Find the appropriate folder, open the folder and click on a blank space in the folder window. The phone's memory card will be designated by a folder most likely named for the device. For example, if the card is a Kingston brand card, the title of the memory card directory will be "Kingston."


5. Right-click and select "Paste" from the context menu. The video file will copy to the specified location on the phone's memory card.


6. Close all file explorer windows and unplug the phone from the computer. The video file has now been transferred to the phone and is ready to use.
