## From Pixel/Android to Pop!\_OS

### Changing the USB Preference

When you connect your Android device to your computer, a notification will appear about USB Preferences. Swipe down from the top of your screen to reach this notification:

Once you tap on the notification, the following screen will appear:

Select "File transfer / Android Auto":

### Open the Files Application

Next, open the <u>Files</u> application. The name of your Android device should appear in the left pane of the file browser.

Click on the device's name to explore the device's filesystem.

## From iPhone to Pop!\_OS

### Trusting the Computer in iOS

Your iPhone will only allow filesystem access to a trusted computer. When you first connect your iPhone to your computer, a prompt will appear and ask if you want to trust the computer:

### Open the Files application

Next, open the <u>Files</u> application and click on the iPhone item in the left pane of the window. This will take you into the iPhone's filesystem.

### Open the DCIM Directory

The directories inside DCIM are named with the year and month of when the photos inside were taken. For example, "201801__" contains photos that were taken in January of 2018.
