CHAPTER 5
Moving and Managing Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer
Using File Transfer to transfer info to your handheld
 On a Mac computer, use Drive Mode to move files to your handheld’s internal drive.
WINDOWS ONLY
On a Windows computer, File Transfer provides a live window onto your handheld's large internal 
drive. Use File Transfer to copy, move, and manage files and folders on your handheld. File 
Transfer copies and moves items instantly; you do not need to synchronize. With File Transfer you 
can also work on your handheld even while transferring files.
Using File Transfer, quickly move and carry large amounts of your important Office files, photos, 
music, videos, and other files or folders on your handheld. Access and edit this information on 
your handheld or, using Drive Mode, from another computer (computer must support standard 
USB removable drives). 
File Transfer installs automatically when you install Palm Desktop software.
 Applications, files, and folders moved to your handheld's internal drive with File 
Transfer are not automatically backed up during synchronization. Use File Transfer to copy or 
move the updated files and folders to your computer, or to back up the contents of your 
handheld's entire internal drive to your computer.

Tip
If you have an expansion 
card inserted into your 
handheld’s expansion 
slot, you can view and 
work with files and 
folders on the card in the 
File Transfer window in 
exactly the same way as 
files on the internal 
drive—copying, moving, 
and so on. You can also 
copy and move files 
between the internal 
drive and the card.
