How do I transfer files from a Windows computer to the Meta Quest 3 ?
Transferring files between a Windows computer and your Meta Quest 3 is a simple process, but it requires a compatible USB-C cable to establish the connection.
1. Connect the headset to your computer
Plug your Meta Quest 3 headset into your PC using a USB-C or Quest Link cable. It’s important to ensure the cable is compatible with data transfer; otherwise, the connection won’t work for file transfer.
2. Authorize access to your computer from the headset
When you connect your headset to the computer, a notification titled “USB Detected” will appear in your headset.
Click on it to allow your computer to access the headset’s files. This action can also be confirmed from the notification center in your headset’s quick settings.
3. Access the headset’s internal storage
Once access is authorized, open File Explorer on your PC. Under “This PC,” you’ll find your Quest 3 device.
Double-click it to access its internal storage.
4. Select the files to transfer
Go to the “Shared Internal Storage” folder and open the Oculus folder. Inside, you’ll find several subfolders, such as:
- Oculus/Video clips : to transfer videos
- Oculus/Screenshots : for photos and other screenshots
5. Transfer the files
Select the files you want to transfer from your PC and paste them into the appropriate folder in “Shared Internal Storage” on your headset.
For example, if you want to import videos, copy them to the Video Clips folder.
Tips for optimal transfer
- Don’t move system files : It’s important not to touch the other system files in the headset’s other folders, as this could disrupt its operation.
- Organize your files : For better management, create dedicated folders on both your PC and headset for each type of media (photos, videos, etc.).
Transferring files between your Windows computer and the Meta Quest 3 is a simple process that involves a USB-C or Quest Link cable, access authorization on the headset, and using File Explorer on your PC. Be sure to follow each step to ensure a successful transfer and optimal file management.
