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.

    • Refined dock and bug fixes land in latest Elementary OS 8 updates by David Uzondu If you're running Elementary OS 8, there's a new round of updates available, bringing some neat enhancements, particularly to its signature Dock and the underlying window manager, Gala. If you are not familiar, Elementary OS positions itself as a polished alternative to Windows and macOS. It runs its own custom desktop environment called Pantheon, with Gala handling all the window management magic, like animations and how windows behave. In the new update, the Dock gets some notable new tricks, including the return of a couple of features that old-school Plank (the Dock's foundation) users might remember. For starters, the Dock now shows multiple indicator dots beneath an app icon if you have more than one window open for that application, which is useful for quickly seeing what is running. Plus, if you are dragging something and hover over an app icon in the Dock, it will cycle through that app's open windows, making it easier to drop your item into the right place. You can also now long-press an app icon to bring up its context menu, a nice touch for those who prefer that interaction. The elementary OS team also squashed some bugs related to hide modes and memory usage, keeping things running smoothly. Gala itself recently got a massive update, addressing around 20 reported issues and introducing a brand new Gesture Controller. This means users can now swipe up in the Multitasking View to close windows, a slick and intuitive gesture. App titles are now always shown in Multitasking View, a significant improvement for touchscreen users. Users also get notified when they take a screenshot with a keyboard shortcut, and this notification lets them jump straight to the image in Files. Some other welcome Gala improvements include saving window states on sleep and shutdown, and fixing an annoying bug where menus might only show once. For gamers, a fix for Lutris Flatpak installations causing Gala to crash with GE Proton setups will be a relief, and users of the Postman app will be happy to know that window captures for it are no longer partially rendered. Shifting back to Elementary OS 8, in System Settings, choosing light or dark mode properly snoozes your schedule instead of outright disabling it. The Reduce Motion setting has been expanded to cover a wider array of animations, which is a blessing for folks prone to motion sickness. Hotcorners got some fixes too, and there is a new option to keep them active even when an application is full screen. Other notable updates include added screen reader support for notifications and the shortcut overlay, fixes for Flatpak sandbox issues that affected apps like Steam, and the latest version of GNOME Web, which brought better performance and a redesigned bookmarks sidebar. You can download all these updates by opening System Settings, heading to System, and hitting "Update All."

    • It seems I was wrong. Modifying the registry manually does not have an effect at all, even after restart. Just use ViveTool for now. I'm going to need to investigate this...
    • Just a small addition - If you're running the command from Powershell, the syntax is: ./vivetool /enable /id:41073112
    • The weak US Governments and DoJ have never been good enough at regulating greedy giants like Apple and Microsoft. These companies want your money yet they will take away your useful features and choices too to sell you the "next upgrade" and no Govt acts against that.
