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.

    • outside of the AI and embedded spyware, I think windows 8 is by far the worse version of windows. Or maybe windows ME could be worse.
    • All that hype about Android apps on PC and then nothing because of that stupid Amazon App Store partnership.
    • hands down the worst version of Windows to date and sadly I think it's only downhill from here
    • I've never known a release to have so much pressure than this one. There is so much riding on the whole games industry because of everything that's changed in the past five years. That if this is a complete flop then I think the whole games industry is done unless something radically changes.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old by Taras Buria Windows 11 is now half a decade old. Five years ago, on June 24, 2021, Microsoft announced its latest operating system, designed to "bring you closer to what you love." Today, Windows 11 celebrates its fifth birthday. The launch of Windows 11 was interesting. Rumors about Microsoft introducing a Windows 10 successor popped up weeks before the public announcement, and a few days later, an entire preview build leaked online, allowing everyone to take a peek at what Microsoft was preparing. A few weeks later, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 was a thing and officially unveiled its next-gen operating system. Early versions of Windows 11 promised quite a lot. A redesigned, more modern user interface, a brand new Start menu and taskbar, improvements to virtual desktops and window snapping, Android app support, Teams integrated into the taskbar, Windows Widgets, a new version of the Microsoft Store, improved security, and more. Some of those features were welcomed, while others were received with heavy criticism. Besides missing taskbar and Start menu features, many disliked the steep hardware requirements, which kicked out PCs that were back then still perfectly fine. TPM and Secure Boot became mandatory, causing a spike in sales of dedicated TPM chips for motherboards. Double-layered context menus were disliked as well, and it is something that Microsoft still has to fix. Additionally, with time, some of Windows 11's exclusive features were simply killed. Microsoft removed the Teams integration and discontinued Android app support. During the early days of Windows 11, Microsoft was quite unwilling to address things that users criticized most. After four years on the market, management changes, and heated competition from the Mac camp, Microsoft finally decided to give in and take its operating system back to the drawing board to fix everything users had been complaining about for years. Microsoft is now redesigning the Start menu, adding missing taskbar features, improving Windows Update, fixing Windows 11's context menu, and more. Some believe all that warrants a new Windows 12 release, but for now, it appears that Windows 11 will stick around for a while. With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11!
