BOOXDrop on the same Wi-Fi
Best for a quick, account-free transfer. Open BOOXDrop on the tablet, type its local address into your computer browser, then upload the file.
How to transfer files from a PC to a BOOX tablet
Use BOOXDrop when your computer and tablet share a network. It is the shortest route from a download folder to the BOOX Library.
QUICK ANSWER
Open BOOXDrop on the tablet, not BOOX Assistant in its browser.
Connect the BOOX tablet and computer to the same local network. Open the built-in BOOXDrop app on the tablet, enter the address shown there into a browser on the computer, then upload your PDF, EPUB or other document. The file appears in BOOXDrop's Receive tab. No BOOX account is required for this local method.
CHOOSE A METHOD
Three supported ways to move the file
Send2BOOX over the internet
Best when the devices are not on the same network. Sign in on the correct regional BOOX website and collect the file from the Push tab.
USB cable
Best for large folders or an offline transfer. Windows can use File Explorer; a Mac needs software that can browse Android devices.
THE SIMPLEST ROUTE
Transfer with BOOXDrop in five steps
- Join the same network.
Connect the computer and BOOX tablet to the same home, office or hotspot network.
- Open BOOXDrop.
Launch the built-in BOOXDrop app on the tablet. It will show a local web address for the current session.
- Open that address on the computer.
Type the full address into a current browser. Keep BOOXDrop open on the tablet while you transfer.
- Upload the document.
Choose the file on the computer and wait for the transfer to finish before closing the page.
- Open the received file.
On the tablet, check BOOXDrop's Receive tab. Open the document there or move it into the folder structure you use for the BOOX Library.
WHEN LOCAL TRANSFER IS NOT AVAILABLE
Use Send2BOOX from the computer
BOOX also provides an online transfer route. On the computer, open push.boox.com for the US/Vietnam server or eur.boox.com for the European server. Sign in with the same BOOX account and server used on the tablet, upload the file under BOOXDrop, then find it in the Push tab of BOOXDrop on the device.
This is useful across different networks, but it adds an account and cloud step. For a computer sitting beside the tablet, the local BOOXDrop address is usually more direct.
THE CABLE ROUTE
Use USB when Wi-Fi is the problem
On Windows, connect the BOOX tablet with a data-capable USB cable, select File Transfer in the tablet's USB Preferences, then use File Explorer to copy documents. Put files in a folder you can recognise, disconnect safely and refresh the BOOX Library if the item does not appear immediately.
BOOX's current Mac instructions recommend OpenMTP or Android File Transfer software because macOS does not browse Android storage in Finder by itself. After connecting, enable File Transfer on the BOOX device and refresh the transfer app if necessary.
ARTICLES FROM THE WEB
Send a webpage instead of making a PDF first
If the source is a normal webpage, Send2BOOX can add its URL through PushRead. On the computer, sign in to the matching regional site, open PushRead, choose Webpage and enter the URL. The page should then appear in the PushRead app on the BOOX tablet. Use this route for readable web articles; keep PDF for material whose original layout matters.
IF IT DOES NOT WORK
Check these four things before resetting anything
Both devices are on the same local network
A guest network or client-isolation setting can stop the computer and BOOX tablet from seeing each other even when both show the same Wi-Fi name.
BOOXDrop is open on the tablet
The local web address is available only while BOOXDrop is running. Use the exact address shown on the BOOX screen.
The server region matches
For online transfer, use push.boox.com for the US/Vietnam server or eur.boox.com for the European server, matching the server selected on the tablet.
The USB cable carries data
Some USB-C cables charge only. If the computer does not see the tablet, try a known data cable and choose File Transfer in USB Preferences.
If the local page still will not load, restart BOOXDrop and reconnect both devices. For persistent USB or account problems, send logs through Settings > Feedback or use BOOX support rather than factory-resetting the tablet.
