Tablet owners often need to set up their connection to a computer or laptop. This is necessary in order to download movies and music to your mobile device, as well as upload photos and videos from it. Therefore, the owners of such devices want to know how to connect the tablet to the computer. Usually the connection is established via Wi-Fi or USB port.
How to connect a tablet to a computer via USB
Most often, tablets have a USB or miniUSB input. A cable for connecting a tablet to a computer is usually supplied with the device. To establish a connection, you must plug the cable into a port on your computer and tablet.
If you see a message on your tablet that a USB connection has appeared, tap on it. If the inscription does not appear, go to the tablet settings, in the additional section in the USB settings, select the "Connect USB drive to PC" item.
If you managed to properly connect the tablet to the computer, then you will see that two removable disk drives have appeared there. One of them (where there are many folders) is the memory of the tablet itself, the other is the memory card.
To correctly copy information from a tablet to a computer and vice versa, use a file manager, for example, Total Commander.
If your tablet manufacturer has provided special software in the kit (for example, Kies for Samsung on Android), you can use it to connect and work with files.
To correctly disconnect the tablet from the computer, click on the "disconnect USB" on the mobile device or through the "safe removal" section on the computer or laptop.
How to connect a tablet to a computer via Wi-Fi
This method is not the most ideal option, since it is quite difficult to deal with such a connection. To connect a tablet to a computer via Wi-Fi, download and install the OnAir utility on a mobile device, and a file manager, for example, Total Commander, on a laptop or computer. In the OnAir program, select the FTP connection mode, in the tab that opens, enter any data, paste the exact same numbers into the program on your computer. The connection should be established.
