Transfer your files with Samsung DeX for PC

First, you'll need to download the DeX for PC app. On your computer, go to the Samsung DeX website, and then download the version you need.

Next, navigate to and open the downloaded file, and use the on-screen prompts to complete the setup process.

When the software is set up, open the Samsung DeX app on your computer.

Then, connect your compatible device to the computer using a USB-C cable. If your computer doesn't have this connection, you can use a USB-C to USB-A cable.

Wait a few seconds for the phone to connect; when it does, a DeX window will appear on your monitor. Use your computer's mouse to control things on your connected phone, such as opening the phone's app.

Note: You can perform basic operations using the touchpad connected to your PC, but some gestures, such as pinching with two fingers to zoom in, won’t work.

To exit DeX, select the Apps icon in the bottom left corner of the DeX screen, and then select Exit DeX.

First, make sure your phone or tablet is connected to your PC via Samsung DeX. 

Navigate to and open the File Explorer on your PC, and then find the file you’d like to transfer.

To copy and paste the file instead, right-click on the file on the PC, select Copy, and then move your mouse to the DeX screen. Right-click and then select Paste.

The file will be transferred to the My Files app on your device. To view the transferred file in Samsung DeX, open the My Files app on the DeX screen, and then select Recent files.

You can repeat this process to transfer photos and videos as well. Photos and videos will be transferred to the Gallery app on your phone or tablet.
