I can't find a way. When I connect it by USB to a PC it isn't recognised (I have tried xp, w7 and Ubuntu). There doesn't seem to be a USB drive mode like the boox Max. I have tried various apps where you put an ftp address in the browser but it just gives ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.

I have tried the app called "transfer" that came with it. I go to the site it generates on my phone- it is all in Chinese with only one button. I press the button I find the file and choose it. Then it sits on the site with 0% written next to it and it stays on 0% and doesn't do anything.

The closest I got was using a file manager app on the Max 2 pro which created an ftp which could open in windows. I dragged and dropped the file- it started to transfer- estimated and hour and a half. But it stopped with an error code after about 40 minutes transferring, saying it didn't have permission to put a file there.

The file is over 3gb, and that seems to be too big for the free cloud services. Without it the device is useless to me.

I tried "files by google" but it insists on location which the Max 2 pro won't give it whatever I press.

I also tried the otg approach, but while the Max 2 pro saw "USB storage" it says it is empty.

*how* can I get it on the damn thing?
