Just copy the music into the ringtones folder and that's it.  It should have one, and if it doesn't just make one.  It should have a Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarms folder where you can put what you want in them for their respective names.

That doesn't work for everyone. I copied files to notifications and ringtones folders, but can only see the new notifications. Ringtones don't show up. Are there file-type or bit-rate restrictions?

Just needs to be MP3s, and it works for me.

I connected the Pixel 2 XL to my Windows 10 computer and then dragged .mp3 files to the Ringtone and Notification directories:

This PC\Pixel 2 XL\Internal shared storage\Ringtones\storage-0

This PC\Pixel 2 XL\Internal shared storage\Notifications

To connect the Pixel 2 XL to a Windows 10 computer:

Plug in usb cable to computer

Plug in usb cable to pixel

2 options from here:

1)

Look for notification for Usb plug in (see notifications by pulling screen down)

Pick more options

Pick Usb to transfer files

2)

Settings

Connected Devices

USB

Pick Transfer files

I chose .mp3 files from soundbible.com

Okay, I have the answer.

1. Download the audio file you'd like to use

2. Go to the files app and click the three dots in the top right, click the show internal storage

3. Do to downloads and find your chosen Audio file

4. Press and hold it

5. Click the three dots in the top right hand corner, click "Move to..."

6. From here, click the three dash or "hamburger" in the top left hand corner

7. Click pixel 2 (shows amount of storage you have as well)

8. Find "Notifications". This will be the folder used as you default notification sounds.

9. Click Move

There! You did it! It should be shown in the settings. Moving the file to Ringtones will place it in the call sound ringtone. Moving it to alarm will place it in the alarm sound area. I hope this helps everyone, I know it's helped me.
