up to date with all our latest tips and tricks compared to the apple ecosystem with macs and
iphones windows pcs and androids are typically a little bit easier to work with because they are
less locked down their file management system compared to the apple ecosystem with macs and
iphones windows pcs and androids are typically more compatible with a wider variety of file
formats and they're also usually less locked down their file management system making it easier to
transfer files between the different devices and so one of the benefits is that it makes it
more convenient to start working on a file on one device and then to either continue it or
completely transfer it over to your android phone or other android device later on if
you need to and so with that what are some of the easiest and best ways to transfer over your files
from your windows pc to your android device i'll be going over four of the best solutions
first up i'm going to be showing you how to transfer files from your pc to your android
using our third-party tool mobile trans this is a sophisticated tool that handles different
file types like apps photos music and lots more not only is it really easy to use but it's also
faster and more secure compared to other solutions that we'll be covering including bluetooth once
you have the app downloaded and installed on your computer you'll open it and select file transfer
next you'll connect your phone to the pc using a usb cable once your phone is detected you'll
choose the import to phone feature and select the files that you want to transfer finally click the
import button to add the files and folders to your phone and then once the transfer is
completed you can browse all the files that you just imported on your phone if on the other hand
you're looking for a more native solution that doesn't require any third party software i'll be
covering some of those options now using the old school method of just connecting your phone via a
usb cable to your computer and using windows file explorer can always be a good solution
first connect your phone to the computer using a usb cable that supports high speed data transfer
newer phones typically ship with usb c 3.0 cables but if you're noticing slower speeds
or you're using an older phone upgrading your cable could help after connecting the
cable wait for the windows pc to detect your phone if you haven't connected your
phone to the pc before windows may need a few moments to install the necessary drivers
after finding or selecting the files that you want to transfer to your android device you can simply
do a drag and drop to the destination folder that you want or by using control c and control v
if on the other hand you don't have a usb cable available and you're just working with smaller
files bluetooth could be a good option for you keep in mind though bluetooth is going to be
a lot slower compared to using a usb cable so again it's only going to be a reliable solution
if you're working with smaller files here's what you need to do first turn on bluetooth on your
windows pc and then pair it with your phone in my experience this can be a little bit hit
or miss and depending on the windows pc you're using or the android device that you're using
this process can be a little bit tedious because of drivers and sometimes incompatible software and
so my recommendation would be to keep repeating the search process until your device shows up
but if that doesn't work sometimes updating your drivers and your software can help out
but if all else fails sometimes upgrading your bluetooth receiver could be a necessary fix
from here scroll down to the related settings option and select send or receive files via
bluetooth click the send file option and choose your android phone or device to share the file to
then click the next tab browse the files that you want to share and then select open next and
then finally click the finish tab to complete the transfer process but like i said they're going to
be a lot of times where bluetooth isn't going to be the best choice for you especially when
you're working with larger files so let's look at one final solution for a lot of people cloud
syncing can be one of the easiest and best ways to transfer your files and have them reliably backed
up and stored securely for this solution you're going to need to sign up for a service like google
drive dropbox or onedrive i'm personally a big fan of google drive because of their integration
with their other apps as well as their pricing structure so i'll take you through that process
but basically all these steps are very similar to the other services available too with gmail
being really popular and a lot of people already having an account with them not everyone realizes
that they also have 15 gigabytes of free storage included when they sign up one of the biggest
benefits of using a cloud solution storage system like google drive is that you can actually upload
and access your files from anywhere so long as you have a decent internet connection that's going to
be a big caveat that i'll talk about in just a bit first head to drive.google.com and log in
with your email and password that you've already created with your gmail account you can then
upload any of the files that you want to access remotely from your phone as long as you have your
google drive gmail account login the easiest way especially if you're just using the online
client is to drag and drop the files from windows explorer to your google drive folder and they'll
begin uploading automatically once the files are completely uploaded to your drive account
they'll be synced and available from any of your devices again including your android phone the
size of the files that you're uploading and your upload speed will determine how long this process
takes so keep that in mind if for example you're working with a slow internet connection but you
really need these files accessed quickly on your phone this might not be the best solution for you
to access the files on your android device you can either log in via your web browser as you did with
your windows pc and download the files that way but a much simpler and more streamlined version
is to download the actual google drive client app any file that you've uploaded to your google
drive previously and from here on out will be accessible to view and download from your android
so long as you're online and logged into your account you can either browse the files that
you've uploaded previously or you can download them for offline viewing the downside again with
a cloud solution like this is that you do need a very good connection especially if you're working
with larger files and anytime you want to actually access those files you're going to need to have
that initial connection to download or view them if you're offline this isn't going to be a good
solution because you need to have that constant connection limited data caps and offline access
might make this a deal breaker for some users especially again if you're working in areas with
very limited connections so there you go those are for the best methods for transferring your
files between your windows pc and your android device as you can tell from what we've shared
depending on the types of files that you're trying to transfer the frequency that you're trying to
transfer them and the speed that you need some of these solutions might be a little bit better
than the others for many users in many scenarios using our mobile trans tool makes it quick and
simple for transferring a variety of files at once thanks again for checking out this video
