Android File Transfer works fine if you want to download movies from a PC or Imac to the Go. However, that program does not work on an Iphone. And Netflix does not allow you to download movies to a PC or Mac, you are only permitted to download to the Iphone. So, how do I transfer downloaded Netflix movies from my Iphone to the Oculus Go? My suggestion for the Oculus Staff: allow a direct USB connection between the Iphone and the Go. Then you could play movies on the Iphone and have them projected on the Go.
You’re supposed to be able to browse media on your phone through the Gallery app when the phone app is open and both devices are on the same wifi network. I doubt that would work for movies within an app like Netflix though. Personally, I still haven’t managed to even view my photos on the Go, it always just says Phone Unreachable.

The Netflix app on the Oculus Go will have to add support for playing downloaded movies. They control the DRM on their content, not Oculus.
Open the oculus app on your phone, go to settings and enable camera roll access. Leave the app open then put your headset on, navigate to gallery on the bottom menu select phone camera role and off you go.

...At least in theory. I tried for days but could not see media on my iPhone 6--app running, showing connected to headset, camera roll access enabled, same wifi network, but can't see my phone media.
I noticed that there was an iOS app update yesterday, but I haven't tried again yet--maybe they fixed it.

Yes, you can access your home made videos in the camera roll, but not the movies you downloaded in the Netflix app.
