Working as a storage device
You can connect your smart display to your computer using a USB to micro-USB cable. Your
smart display is then treated as storage device and displayed as smart display in the Windows
Explorer
or file manager. While the smart display is connected to the computer, you can:
• operate from your computer to copy and paste files from your smart display to the computer,
or vice versa;
• operate from your smart display to access the functions that are available in the Android
system.
If there are other storage devices (e.g., a microSD card, USB flash drives, or external hard
drives, etc.) connected to your smart display at the same time, your smart display works as a
USB hub.
1. Locate and double-click your smart display (displayed as smart display) from your computer.

the Windows Explorer or file manager on your computer.
