USB Drive Mode

PocketCloud supports switching to USB Drive Mode; when connected to devices like computers or mobile phones, it’s recognized as external storage (similar to a USB flash drive/portable hard drive), and no extra client or network is needed.You can manage files directly via the file manager for fast local transfers.

We recommend using the official standard cable or an officially recommended USB cable.There are two main types:

  1. Type-C to Type-C: Suitable for mobile phones, tablets, laptops, etc.
  2. Type-C to Type-A: Suitable for desktop PCs, etc.
