App To Transfer Files Between Android To iOS, iOS to Android, Android To PC, and iOS to PC


Recommended Posts

As the title says, I am looking for an app that I can use to transfer files between my devices and the PC wirelessly. Any recommendations?

I'd use something like Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive etc.

I use OneDrive for EXACTLY this - as it is supported on all platforms except Linux; I call One Drive my SAN (for "Swiss Army Knife") - and it's why I don't miss expandable storage on my phone. (Any Android app that supports cloud-based video OR audio playback - such as VLC - can play video hosted on OneDrive; Google Photos is the default for pictures on Pixels - which means I don't have to use OneDrive OR Google Drive for that - and I refuse to get stupid storing stuff in the cloud.

Guessing you just want this local - or do you not care if on the net..

 

Nextcloud, has apps for ios and android and pc (both windows and linux)

 

You can run it locally, via a VM (vmware,virtualbox,hyperv) or you can run it in a docker, or snap, etc. etc.

phone providers usually have something to transfer info between devices.

I am sure you can look up your provider and content transfer in a google search (sample search term: verizon content transfer) I know the verizon app it will do it via your wifi network.  This is for a device to device transfer, but if you want to transfer to your computer, dropbox, onedrive, box, etc would be the best to use and it can sync across all devices.

    • Windows 8 and Vista were far worse. Both of those got marginally better at the very end. Just look at their adoption rates and support life-span. If those versions had as much social media in their time they would have ripped apart unmercifully.
    • I must admit, this is probably the only game at the moment where I can see that $80 price point being ok. The issue will be when other developers think they can get away with it with half of the work.
    • Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers by Fiza Ali Google has announced that Google Wallet is becoming the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. It is a programme that lets eligible travellers move through participating airport security checkpoints using facial recognition instead of showing a physical ID or boarding pass. While the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID programme has been available for some time, using it hasn't always been straightforward. The programme currently operates at 65 airports across the US, but participation has largely depended on flying with a limited number of airlines. Travellers also had to upload passport information separately through participating carriers. Now, the tech giant's new integration is designed to remove some of those extra steps. With the update rolling out in the coming weeks, travellers with TSA PreCheck membership will be able to enrol in Touchless ID through Google Wallet and use the service with any of the 100 airlines participating in the programme. Rather than repeatedly submitting identification details, users can store a digital ID in Google Wallet and use it to streamline future trips. Setting up the feature is relatively straightforward as well. The process starts with users creating a digital ID in Google Wallet using their passport information. After checking in for a flight and saving a boarding pass to the app, eligible travellers will see a "Get started" option that directs them to the TSA enrolment process. Once users choose to share their ID pass and boarding pass information with the TSA for a specific trip, the agency will verify the enrolment. If approved, a TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the boarding pass stored in Google Wallet, signalling that the traveller can use designated express Touchless ID lanes at participating airports. As privacy and security are likely to be key considerations for many travellers, Google says users must explicitly opt in before any information is shared with the TSA, and authentication is required through a device PIN, pattern, or biometric verification. The company also notes that digital IDs stored in Google Wallet remain encrypted and are kept on the user's device. For frequent flyers who already use TSA PreCheck, the new integration could remove a few more steps from the airport security process, making travel slightly faster and a little less cumbersome.
    • Even though MS had to sunset the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can apparently use BlueStacks to run Android in Windows now. I haven't tested this yet, so if anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
