[Nickisdoge]

just got my deck and i want to transfer over some big games from my pc because my internet is not really fast and has a small data cap. plugged it in via a type c to type c cable and doesn't show up in file explorer. i try looking it up and i can only find answers for wireless solutions. anyone know how to do file transfers via usb?

I'm pretty sure that's not a thing that you can do. At least not without a special cable meant specifically for that task.

Eh, I don't know how this would work with Linux, but maybe try with Bluetooth? It'll probably be slower than ♥♥♥♥, but it's one way.

Or, you could try fiddling around with a flashdrive plugged into a USB>USB C cord.

Windows file system is NTFS the deck is not. Windows will not see the deck so BT or by usb drive. Make sure to format the usb as fat or ext file system so deck can read it.

ExFAT will work just fine.
