Copy files from your PC to your Steam Deck – no wire required!

People are understandably excited about the Steam Deck–even those outside of the Linux realm. But that leaves a lot of questions that PC gamers have on how they can interface their computer and their Deck. Here’s my surefire way to copy files to or from a Windows PC to a Steam Deck!

…and yes, I took another whack at this video because ya’ll comments yesterday were savage.

Use the Warpinator/Winpinator method: https://winpinator.swisz.cz/

Use these two tools:

Two easy ways to transfer files to your Steam Deck from Windows!
