4. TRANSFERRING FILES
When you want to transfer files to or from the ARCHOS (photos, documents, music, video, or applications (.apk files)) you can transfer them via the USB cable or via a wireless network connection. It is also possible to transfer files directly to/from a camera, USB stick, powered hard drive, or an MP3 player using the optional USB host cable. Use the application Files when transferring files by a wireless network or when transferring files to/from a device that is connected directly to the ARCHOS with a USB cable.
