- detecting a user operation to select a first external device and a second external device, from among the plurality of external devices, between which a copy operation of the digital content is to be performed;
- and
- copying the digital content from the first external device to the second external device, in response to the detection of the user operation.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of slots configured to accommodate a plurality of external devices;
- a communication interface configured to perform electronic communication with the plurality of external devices accommodated in the plurality of slots;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- display a user interface including a plurality of tabs which correspond to the plurality of external devices,
- detect a user operation to select a first external device and a second external device, from among the plurality of external devices, between which a copy operation of the digital content is to be performed, and
- copy the digital content from the first external device to the second external device, in response to the detection of the user operation.
