How to Set App Permissions for Transfer Companion to read and copy your Android content

Droid Transfer allows you to copy any kind of content from your Android device to your PC.

In order for the software to do this, it requires permission to access the content on your Android device.

You should receive a pop up on your Android when a permission is required by the software. If this is the case, tap "Allow" to allow the requested permission. You can then click "Retry" in Droid Transfer and go ahead with the task you were performing.

However, if you don't receive the prompt when Droid Transfer is awaiting the permission, please use the steps below to manually grant permissions.

Take a look at the list below to see what each permission is used for:

• Calendar: Access your calendars and events
• Camera: Access to your camera roll photos
• Contacts: Access your address book (used for the Contacts and Messages section of Droid Transfer)
• SMS: Access to your text message conversations
• Telephone: Access to your call history
• Storage: Access to other files on your device

Only content you have chosen to copy will be copied to your desired location on your PC. Content is never shared with any third parties - all functions are completed locally on your computer.
