Tip

You can choose to synchronize a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, even if you copied it using File Transfer. See the Documents To Go application on your computer for information.

Did You Know?

When you transfer photos and videos using the desktop Media application, the files may be converted for viewing on your handheld. File Transfer does not convert files, so you may not be able to view the photos or videos on your handheld.

Did You Know?

Even though photos and videos transferred using Media are saved in the Photos & Videos folder on your handheld’s internal drive, updates to these files are included when you synchronize.
