I've done this many times before but on our new headset in the Oculus folder it just the Avatars folder. We got a second Meta for the kids. I'm trying to get video/pictures from the new one. I thought maybe I'd log in the account that took the video. After I allow access it will show Quest 2 drive on pc but there isn't anything in there, not even Internal shared storage folder
My man! I was dreading researching into what was wrong, sure my pc must not be compatible with the quest or something, and I run across this video where you just lay it out so wonderfully. I can't remember the last time I was this relieved, thanks.
You saved my life bro. I recorded a video on my quest headset but the mobile app is buggy and I couldn’t download it to my phone. Thanks for giving me an easier way!
I had to disable auto link in the settings and also turn link off then reboot the device and say no to the link when asked and then I see the quest icon in my PC, not one thing is straight forward with this headsets.
i’ve turned on developer mode and plugged in my USB cable from my PC into my Quest 2 and neither the prompt on my quest 2 or quest 2 device shows up on my PC, any help?
@@HumAiClub yeah i had the headset on like u did on the video, with developer mode on, and yet for some reason the prompt still doesn’t show, not sure why but it’s very annoying when trying to transfer files from PC to quest
My headset is only charging when I plug it into my pc. I’ve restarted it, and made sure the usb connection setting is turned on. I’m using a usb to usb-c cord. Am I doing something wrong?
For some reason my headset is showing up as a MTP USB device instead of a drive and I've uploaded videos like three times before this and it worked just fine all of a sudden it decided to do this I've tried everything that I seen on the internet and nothing is helping
you are going to have to turn it on from the settings. After you plug it in then go to Settings>Developer and check the radio button for "USB Connection Dialogue" then it will show again and you can allow the connection.
@@megsnbacon8309 Wow, Meta has made it very difficult to enable developer mode. We have to sign up first, then create an organization, then from the phone companion app, we can enable developer mode. I will make a video showing all the steps soon.
Do you know If I can copy the entire contents of the Quest as you show to my PC as a backup, and then copy those files back to a brand new Quest to save having t re-install everything?
the "allow access to files" wont show up, even with the "USB Dialog" thing enabled, Ive been researching and ive tried so much and nothings worked, does anyone know whats happening?
How do I do game files? Cause I’m trying to get my walking dead saints and sinners progress onto my computer cause I have to factory reset and return my quest cause theirs issues with it. And meta will be giving me a new one. So I was wondering how you can transfer game files to the computer
Look in Android -> data -> com.app.name but honestly, I doubt your game progress will be saved by copying the device files. I believe all of your progress will be stored in the online database, so after you set up your new headset and sign in your progress will be the same as with the previous device.
Finally got mine to show up. I had to hold down the power button on my oculus and completely shut it down. Then plug it back in and turn it on. The usb prompt in the headset showed up and I clicked allow access and now it shows as Quest 2 in explorer (it was originally mtp usb in device manager). This is what worked for me, hope this helps.
The allow access prompt does not pop up on my quest 2 when I connect it to the laptop. I'm using the provided USB C cable and the quest 2 shows it is charging. What do I do now?

Mainly pictures and videos. For example, If you use your recorder while in the headset, you can pull the videos and pictures off, however if you want to upload into a world or game that allows it, you can put them on.
