With a USB cable, connect your device to your computer. On your device, tap the "Charging this device via USB" notification. Under "Use USB for," select File Transfer. A file transfer window will open on your computer.
How is data sent across USB? When a peripheral device is attached via USB, the host computer will detect what kind of device it is and automatically load a driver that allows the device to function. Data is transferred between the two devices in small amounts known as 'packets'.
USB devices have two transfer mode types: bulk is used for mass storage devices like an external USB hard drive, and isochronous is used for real-time devices like a USB webcam or capture card.
USB Full speed has a speed of 12 MBit/second = 1,5 MByte/s. But within these 12 MBit also a lot of extra data is transmitted which is not payload, like , endpoint address, CRC5, CRC16, Acknowledge, SOF + EOF packets, etc.. Additionally the bus manager reserves 10% of a frame for Control Transfers.
USB has four transfer types depending on the data. They are called Control, Bulk, Interrupt, and Isochronous types.
Bulk Transfers. Bulk Transfers are used for data which are not of the type Control, Interrupt, or Isochronous. Reliable exchange of data is ensured at the hardware level using error detection. Data are transferred in the same manner as in Interrupt Transfers, but have no defined polling rate.
Maximum packet size of a bulk endpoint depends on the bus speed of the device. For full speed, high speed, and SuperSpeed; the maximum packet sizes are 64, 512, and 1024 bytes respectively.
Most USB 2 users report that they can only reach about 30MB/sec between the computer and a USB device, even though the USB 2 specification claims to support 480Mb/sec (or 60MB/sec) transfers. However, in practice the maximum transfer limit will usually be constrained by the USB 2 device itself.
