You can use the ADB via a terminal to pass the file From Desktop to Emulator   adb push  lt file-source-local gt   lt destination-path-remote gt    You can also copy file from emulator to Desktop  adb pull  lt file-source-remote gt   lt destination-path gt    How ever you can also use the Android Device Monitor to access files  Click on the Android Icon which can be found in the toolbar itself  It ll take few seconds to load  Once it s loaded  you can see a tab named  File Explorer   Now you could pull push files from there

Update  May 2020   Android studio have new tool called Device File Explorer  You can access it in two way    By clicking on Device File Explorer icon in right bottom corner of android studio window  If you could not find its icon  inside Android Studio press shift button twice  Quick search window will appear  then type Device File in it and Device File Explorer will appear in search result and you can click it     Then you can navigate to folder which you want to push your file in it  Right click on that folder and select upload or press Ctrl Shift O   Select file you want to upload and it will upload file to desired location     Push file using adb exe   In Android 6 0   you should use same process but your android application cannot access files which pushed inside SDCARD using DDMS File Explorer  It is the same if you try commands like this   adb push myfile txt  mnt sdcard myfile txt   If you face EACCES  Permission denied  exception when you try to read file inside your application  it means you have no access to files inside external storage  since it requires a dangerous permission   For this situation  you need to request granting access manually using new permission system in Android 6 0 and upper version  For details you can have a look in android tutorial and this link   Solution for old android studio version   If you want to do it using graphical interface you can follow this inside android studio menus   Tools --  Android --  Android Device Monitor    Afterward  Android Device Monitor DDMS  window will open and you can upload files using File Explorer  You can select an address like  mnt sdcard and then push your file into sdcard
