Using HP Device Bridge
HP Device Bridge allows two host computers to connect to a single monitor and transfer files and data
between computers using one common keyboard and mouse. HP Device Bridge must be installed on both host
computers for the software to function properly.
If either of the host computers is disconnected from the monitor:
● The remaining connected host computer automatically shows on the monitor in full-screen mode.
● The USB upstream connection switches to the remaining connected host computer to enable the USB hub
and USB devices.
● The remaining connected host computer can receive up to 100 W of power.
When the disconnected host computer is reconnected:
● HP Device Bridge automatically changes the monitor screen to PbP mode.
● The USB upstream connection switches to the host computer that is connected to the first USB Type-C
video port to enable the USB hub and USB devices.
● Power delivery to each of the two host computers returns to the original shared levels.
Transferring files and data
After HP Device Bridge is installed and active on both host computers, you can move files and data back
and forth between host computers. The software enables a single keyboard and mouse to control both host
computers by switching from one computer to the other.
Windows and macOS
If your host computers are running Windows operating system, macOS, or a combination of both, you can
transfer files between host computers using the drag-and-drop method, copy-and-paste method, or cut-and
paste method. You can transfer data using the copy-and-paste or cut-and-paste methods; however, you
cannot transfer data using the drag-and-drop method.
Follow this procedure to use the drag-and-drop method:
1. Select the file that you want to transfer.
