Hey Mi Fans!

If you are a newbie to Mi Drop or you have been using Mi Drop for a while now and are wondering how to use Mi Drop on a Windows PC, you are in luck. Follow the steps mentioned in this thread to manage your files.

Today, in this post, we will tell you how to use Mi Drop to transfer files from Android to PC.

There is no fancy Mi Drop tool on Windows. You have to use FTP to connect Mi Drop to PC. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Install Mi Drop on your Android device. If you have a Xiaomi device running MIUI 9+, you don’t need to install anything. The app is preinstalled on your device. However, if you own any other device, download the app from the Play Store.

Download Mi Drop

Step 2: Connect your Android device and PC to the same Wi-Fi network. It is a very important step. If you miss this, you won’t be able to connect your PC and the Mi Drop app.

Step 3: Open the Mi Drop app on your Android device. Now tap the three-dot icon at the top-right corner of the app. Select Connect to the computer from the menu.

Step 4: On the Connect to the computer screen, tap the Start button at the bottom. You will be asked to select the storage volume – Internal memory or SD card. Tap the desired storage.

You will get an FTP address at the bottom of the screen. You have to use this address on your PC as mentioned in the next step.

Step 5: Now open Windows Explorer on your PC and enter the same FTP URL in the address bar of the Windows Explorer. Press Enter.

All your mobile folders will be shown on your PC. Similar to the normal USB connection, you can now easily copy, cut, and move data between your Android device and PC.

Once you are done transferring the data, tap Stop button at the bottom of the app.

Enjoy!
