How Can We Help?

Add tours on Oculus Go/Quest storage

You can store tours on your VR device for quicker viewing and for offline use.

IMPORTANT: You can only access the storage of the main/owner account with an USB connection. Meta doesn't provide USB access to the storage folder of the other accounts.

Storage folder

Depending on your device and app permissions, the storage folder for tours on your device can be:

Internal shared storage/VRTourviewer
  or
Internal shared storage/Android/data/com.vrtourviewer.vrtourviewer/files/VRTourviewer

For connecting Quest with Windows:

  • Connect your Meta Quest device to your PC with an USB data cable.
  • Put on your headset
  • Open the notification panel (by clicking on the button with the bell icon in the Quest toolbar)
  • Click on the 'USB Detect' message to allow access to files from the connected PC.
  • Once you are connected to your PC, the Auto-play feature should open. If it does, select Open Device to View Files.
  • If Auto-play does not start, you can manually browse to VR device storage through File Explorer. It will be named VR-Headset for Oculus Go, or Quest for Oculus Quest.
  • Once you have the folder open, select Internal Shared Storage.
  • Navigate to the storage folder (see above).
  • You can now drag and drop (or copy and paste) your Pano2VR tour output into the 'VRTourviewer' folder, you can use sub-directories to easily organize your tours.

For connecting Quest with MacOS:

  • Download the File Transfer Tool from Android and install it on your Mac.
  • Connect your Meta Quest device to your Mac with an USB data cable.
  • Open the File Transfer Tool you just installed.
  • Put on your headset, to give your computer permission to gain access. Select Allow Access to Data.
  • A folder named VR-Headset for Oculus Go, or Quest for Meta Quest should automatically open.
  • Now navigate to the storage folder (see above).
  • You can now drag and drop (or copy and paste) your Pano2VR tour output directly into this folder, you can use subdirectories to easily organize your tours.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your Meta Quest headset is not appearing as a drive on your Windows PC:

  • Make sure to use the included USB cable from your VR device package, a general USB cable might be for charging only.
  • Make sure to select Accept in VR to allow your computer to access files on your headset.
  • Update your device driver:
    1. From your PC desktop, right click on This PC or My Computer.
    2. Select Manage and then Device Manager
      • If you don't see the Manage option, just select Device Manager directly.
    3. Select to expand Oculus Device or Portable Devices.
    4. Right click on Oculus Composite ADB Interface and select Update Driver.
    5. Select the Browse my computer option, then the Let me pick from a list option.
    6. Select MTP USB Device and then select Next to complete the update.


If the VRTourviewer folder doesn't exist on the VR device:

It's possible that the app doesn't have read/write permissions for storage. To enable this: put on the VR headset and go to the Meta Quest Library. Find the tile/preview image of the VR Tourviewer app and click the three dots ... at the lower right of the image, then choose 'Permissions'. Then enable the 'Storage' permission and restart the VR Tourviewer app.
