Most Quest owners know you can now link your wireless headset to your PC to play PCVR games. But you may not know that linking up to your PC also lets you transfer files back and forth between your headset and computer. Doing so enables you to download films, music, pictures, game mods, and other content to your device. Below, we walk you through the process of transferring files to (and from) your Quest.<\/p>\n Connect<\/strong> your Quest to your PC with a USB-C cable<\/strong>. If your PC has its own USB-C port, you can use the USB-C cable that comes with the Quest itself. You will see the Quest pop up on your explorer.<\/p>\n On your Windows PC, you will now have access to explore your Quest as if it were a drive. Transfer<\/strong> any files to the appropriate folder by dragging and dropping them.<\/p>\n You will need to use a particular app to access your files, as Apple doesn’t play nice with Android devices.<\/p>\n Open the application, which should detect and display your files as a drive.<\/p>\n Make sure your Quest isn’t in developer mode, which can prevent the file transfer option to appear. Unplug<\/strong> your Quest from your PC and try the following steps:<\/p>\n While connecting your Quest to your PC is a fairly simple task, it unlocks so much potential for the Quest. Once you have uploaded your pictures, movies, or podcasts to your Quest, you can easily access them on the device. You’ll simply select the Library<\/strong> tab, click the Oculus Gallery<\/strong> app, and select Internal Storage<\/strong>. Now you’ll be able to view whatever you’ve added to your Quest via the PC.<\/p>\n You can also upload your VR highlights from<\/em> your Quest to<\/em> your PC. Take a screenshot or record footage to show your friends or post online, and then simply connect to your PC and transfer the files from your Quest library to your desktop. Plus, having direct control over storage space makes it much easier to delete old files and free up space for new games and content.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n $8 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Simple cable solution<\/p>\n A simple, basic USB-C cable.
