“I have just got myself a Tesco Hudl, and presumably due to issues with my computer i can not transfer files between the two via cable, how can I move files between my Hudl and my computer?” – From androidforums.com

You can transfer files from your PC to your tablet via the USB connection. First of all, you’ll need to connect the device to your computer using the USB cable included in the Hudl box.

Connecting to PC

1. Ensure the Hudl and PC are turned on.

2. Connect the PC and Hudl using the USB cable. Plug the Micro-USB end of the cable into the Power socket on the Hudl.

3. Once connected, a notification will appear on the Notification bar at the top left corner of the Hudl stating “Connected as media device”.

Transferring Files

1. On your PC, open “My Computer” or “Windows Explorer”. The Hudl will be listed as a “Removable Device”.

2. Double click on “Internal Storage” to open the Hudl’s main data storage drive. If you have a SD card mounted to the device, this will also be displayed as a drive which you can explore.

3. “Internal Storage” will display a group of folders. Some of these folders will hold media files such as Movies, Pictures, Music and Podcasts to which you may want to move appropriate files. DCIM holds pictures taken using the Hudl’s integrated digital camera.

4. In a new window, open the folder containing the files you wish to transfer over to the Hudl. You will then be able to drag and drop the files over to the relevant folder in the Hudl. You will then be able to play the transferred media files when the Hudl is disconnected from the PC. (Note: You can also transfer files from the Hudl onto the PC in the same way.)

You can also drag files in the opposite direction to copy files and folders stored on the Hudl or mounted SD card back onto the computer.

Please note that the Tesco Hudl(or Hudl 2) Tablet is not compatible with all formats of media files. If a file is not compatible with the device, then it won’t play after being transferred. Below is a list of file formats that are compatible with the Hudl:

• Music: MP3, WAV, APE, OGG and FLAC.
• Video: AVI, MP4, MKV, MOV and FLV.
• Image: JPG, BMP, GIF and PNG.

You can take a try with a Hudl Video Converter, which will allow you to rip and convert videos on your Mac or PC to the formats supported by your Hudl tablet.
