Some other methods to transfer data
- Xender – This is a more easy method, but due to the prohibition of Chinese bodies in India, we are unable to access it. Although it is accessible by using a VPN but it is a legal offense. My work is only to inform you, this is on to you what you should do. You can get help from YouTube to know the process of Xender.
- Cloud Storage – This is also a better method, but go for this method only when you have unlimited internet. Because this method consumes a lot of internet, first you have to upload file and then download it. For this you can use any cloud storage eg. Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, box.com etc.
- Nearby Share – Earlier this convinience were only for mobiles but now it can also be used in Windows 10 or above PC. But currently this facility is available for transfering data from computer to computer. The feature of computer to mobile data transfer will be added soon.
- Bluetooth – Bluetooth is one of the oldest data transfering feature, now completely available to use in mobiles and computers. But it has a drawback that it works with very less speed, so you can use it when you want to share small files.
- Wifi Direct – If you the method that I have explained in this article, definitely you must like this too. These both are similar and can be performed using File Transfer Protocol. You just need to download files from your mobile to PC.
