How to Connect Huawei P40 to Computer

Huawei P40

Although Huawei P40 is a self-sufficient and functional device, it cannot be considered in isolation from a computer. You'll agree that watching films or editing photos, for example, is much more comfortable on a PC screen.

How to connect Huawei P40 to computer via USB

The easiest and most reliable option for connecting Huawei P40 to your PC is to use the USB connector that both the phone and the PC have. To do this you will need:

  1. Insert one part of the cable into the phone and the other part into the PC.
  2. Open "Computer" on the PC.
  3. Go to the folder with the name of the phone.

Note that by default Huawei P40 only charges via USB. To set up data transfer, you need to activate the relevant option in the USB connection settings. A prompt to make changes to the settings also appears when you connect.

How to connect Huawei P40 to computer via Wi-Fi

This method is less reliable, as the quality of the wireless connection depends directly on the speed of the Internet. However, you will not have the disadvantage of extra cables that are constantly breaking and getting in the way.

To set up a Wi-Fi connection, you need to install special software on your Android smartphone and PC. As an example, consider My Phone Explorer:

  1. Install the software on your computer and Huawei P40.
  2. Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
  3. Run the app on the phone.
  4. Also open the app on your PC and select the "Connect" option.
  5. Wait until the synchronization is completed.
  6. Open the folder of interest and follow the necessary steps.

You can also use other FTP server applications to connect. To do so, simply enter the relevant search query in the Play Store and all available programmes will be displayed.

Workaround

If you're having trouble setting up the connection due to various problems, whether it's a broken cable or a lack of Wi-Fi, you can go the workaround. This option is suitable for those who plan to transfer a file from Huawei P40 to a PC or vice versa.

In this case, the use of auxiliary tools is recommended. For example, cloud storage. Upload a file to the cloud on your computer and then upload it to your phone by logging in to the same account. You can do the same via email by sending the file to the same box.
