transfering data

[frankf10]

is there a trick to using a cable to transfer data? I'm trying to transfer from nexus 5 with usb cable that i've used to move files to nexus 5, so i know that cable can' transfer date. Pixel can't connect to other phone. Suggestions?

Try using a different cable. I had to try several different cables before I found one that worked for me, even though I was using cables that had previously worked with my Nexus 5.

I did my first time setup with a 6p plugged into my pixel xl. Xfr worked flawlessly and super easy.

I setup my Pixel XL using the cable accessory provided by Google to copy everything over from my Galaxy S5 to my Pixel XL. Amazingly easy.
