In the Documents Workspace, teachers and students can use the “drag and drop” method to quickly transfer files and folders from a computer to a handheld or transfer files from a handheld to a computer.

2. In the TI-Nspire™ software, open the Documents Workspace.
3. In the Documents Toolbox, click to open the Content Explorer.

• To transfer a file from a handheld to the computer, click the file, and then drag the file to a folder in the Computer panel.
• To transfer a file from the computer to a handheld, click the file, and then drag the file to a connected handheld.

Note: Those using the TI-Nspire™ CX Premium Teacher Software or the TI-Nspire™ CX Navigator™ Teacher Software can also use options in the Content Workspace to transfer files from a handheld to a computer.
