Huawei Mate X: Connect to PC - how it works

Your smartphone can accumulate a lot of pictures and other media in a short time. For this reason, it can be useful to transfer the data to your computer on a regular basis. Before this is possible, you must first connect your Huawei Mate X to the PC via a suitable cable.

How to connect your Huawei Mate X to PC

If the memory on your Huawei Mate X is running low or you want to edit an image, then it is a good idea to transfer the data from your smartphone to your computer. To make this possible, you need to establish a connection between the two devices. Usually, this is possible via a suitable USB cable.

1. Connect the USB cable to your Mate X and your PC.
2. As soon as your smartphone displays "Allow access to device data?", confirm this with the "No, charge only" option.
3. Open the notification panel by swiping down from the top and select "Charge via USB". Then tap the "Transfer files" or optionally "Transfer photos" entry.
4. In both cases, the drivers that are needed are installed automatically. Dies ist jedoch nur bei erstmaligem Verbinden der Geräte nötig.
5. Sobald der Vorgang abgeschlossen ist, können Sie über den Datei-Manager die Daten Ihres Smartphones beliebig auf Ihren Computer übertragen und anschließend verwalten.
