How Do You Put Stuff Onto Your PS3 From Your Laptop?

Connect your portable storage device to your laptop. If you are using a memory card such as an SD card, insert it into the card slot on your laptop. If you're using a USB flash drive, plug it into an open USB port.

Double-click "Computer" to launch Windows Explorer. Locate your portable storage device's icon and double-click it to launch the drive's disk window.

Drag files such as music and videos from your computer to your drive's disk window. Close the disk window when you finish, and then unplug your drive.

Connect your SD memory card into the card slot on your PS3. If you're using a flash drive, connect it to one of the four USB ports on your gaming console.

Select the category. For example, select "Music, Video or "Photo." Press the "Triangle" button.

Select "Display All," and then press the "X" button. The menu displays a list of the playable and viewable files on your external drive. The menu displays the files in the categories you selected. For example, if you select the "Photos" categories, the XMB menu displays all the photos on your external drive.

Select the file you want to view and press the "X" button.

Select the file you want to copy to your gaming console and press the "Triangle" button. Select "Copy" to upload the file to your console.
