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.

    • Now I may not quite understand this, so someone tell me if I'm off the mark here, but does this mean they'll be potentially removing drivers for now unsupported systems, such as old processors and chipsets? In the past 15 years, Windows has been amazing at just installing on any device, and often having zero, or just a few unessential drivers missing on first install. It would be a shame for that experience to go, though I understand the reasoning, or at least their financial reasoning for it!
    • Microsoft is removing legacy drivers from Windows Update by Usama Jawad Last month, we learned that Microsoft is making major changes to the development of hardware drivers in Windows. This included the retirement of Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS), along with the process for pre-production driver signing. Now, the Redmond tech firm has informed partners that it will be getting rid of old drivers in Windows Update. In what is being described as a "strategic" move to improve the security posture and compatibility of Windows, Microsoft has announced that it will be performing a cleanup of legacy drivers that are still being delivered through Windows Update. Right now, the first phase only targets drivers that already have modern replacements present in Windows Update. As a part of its cleanup process, Microsoft will expire legacy drivers so that it is not offered to any system. This expiration involves removing audience segments in the Hardware Development Center. Partners can still republish a driver that was deemed as legacy by Microsoft, but the firm may require a justification. Once the Redmond tech giant completes its first phase of this cleanup, it will give partners a six-month grace period to share any concerns. However, if no concerns are brought forward, the drivers will be permanently eradicated from Windows Update. Microsoft has emphasized that this will be a regular activity moving forward and while the current phase only targets legacy drivers with newer replacements, the next phases may expand the scope of this cleanup and remove other drivers too. That said, each time the company takes a step in this direction, it will inform partners so that there is transparency between both parties. Microsoft believes that this move will help improve the security posture of Windows and ensure that an optimized set of drivers is offered to end-users. The firm has asked partners to review their drivers in Hardware Program so that there are no unexpected surprises during this cleanup process.
    • No idea, but I had a client the other week that lost the entire drive to it. I suggested relying on the Samsung T7's instead. The Sandisk Extreme's had reliability issues too.
    • I use it every day so personally yes I need it, or rather I want it. I use OpenShell though, not the garbage modern Start Menu. I just counted and at the moment I have a total of 92 program shortcuts organized into six folders almost exactly the way I did back in Windows 95. I can get to any program I want to run very quickly. I never use Search to find or run programs.
    • I do miss the Apps view from Windows 8.1 Update.
