Learn how to transfer files using media transfer mode via WiFi on your Sony Xperia Z1. You can transfer files between your device and other MTP compatible devices, such as a computer, using a Wi-Fi connection. Before connecting, you first need to pair the two devices. If you’re transferring music, video, pictures or other media files between your device and a computer, it’s best to use the Media Go application on the computer. Media Go converts media files so that you can use them on your device.
