💯 Best Way to Transfer Files Between Devices

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to transfer files from phone to phone, mobile to laptop, laptop to laptop, and laptop to mobile. This works across all your devices, including Android phones, iPhone, Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs. You can transfer all types of files, including photos, videos, PDFs, documents, music, and more. There are no file size limits, you don't have to install any apps, and it's completely free to use.
📚 RESOURCES
- Use Snapdrop: snapdrop.net/
- Similar service to Snapdrop called ShareDrop: www.sharedrop.io/
🔐 PRIVACY AND SECURITY
Snapdrop uses an encrypted peer-to-peer connection between your devices using a technology called WebRTC. WebRTC needs a signaling server to establish a connection, but the server is not involved in the transfer of the files. Your files do not touch an external server. Snapdrop code is open-source, and you can review on GitHub: github.com/RobinLinus/snapdrop You can even deploy on your own server, so you handle the signaling without any third party involved.

There's another way. There are usb drives that has a plug for a phone built in. I used to have one but got lost at school, it was real useful when my phone ran out of storage and id put it there and then transfer it to another drive thing like a store jet. I believe it's more convenient than using these 3rd party apps.

[@Knoah321]

I would rather suggest you to setup SMB (Samba). You don't have to install anything, just enable sharing on specific folders. Then add that SMB account to any device on your local network. That's all. You can then quickly access or edit those folder/files at any time from any device securely, as long as your PC is on. You should also set up Microsoft Remote Desktop app on your phone. So you can lay on the couch and do casual work on your PC through your phone/tablet without needing to seat in front of the PC.

@@Knoah321 What if a person wants their PC files when they are out/about and NOT on a local network.

[@Knoah321]

@@BigEightiesNewWave In that case, the safest option will be to set up cloud storage. Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive or Mega are the best option, and they will synchronise files/folder automatically. So you can access those files on your phone even when you are not on the same network or when the PC is off.

Great video, Kevin, and I love to learn about new technologies. But can’t you do this if they all have OneDrive installed and logged in, which has many advantages, such as not needing to be on the same network, or even in the same location. Just curious on your thoughts…thank you!

[@christophostermayer1694]

This way, you need to install and login to onedrive (extra app and extra steps for sign in) and your files leave your network and get saved at Microsoft. Maybe your up / download speed is low or you do not want to save your precious files at an external service.

[@scottabergermd]

@@christophostermayer1694 as others have intimated here…they disagree with Kevin on several points, and here are mine: (as it relates to your reply and my “precious” files: You need another app either way. Why not go with a trusted US company where security is highly monitored (OneDrive), which works across all platforms (& locations), and once you log in, you can stay logged in? (pretty much, although not always true). I will try his solution because it may be great for an occasional iPhone pic, you want to edit in photoshop, etc.

[@KevinStratvert]

Depends on the use case. If you just want to get a file from one device to another, this eliminates the step of needing to upload / download the file from an external server like Drive, OneDrive, iCloud, etc. When I'm recording videos, sometimes I just need to get a file from one device to another and uploading/downloading adds time (I don't have the fastest internet tier 😔). In terms of privacy/security, Snapdrop uses an encrypted peer-to-peer connection between your devices. It still needs a signaling server to establish a connection, but the server is not involved in the transfer of the files. Your files do not touch an external server.

[@christophostermayer1694]

@@scottabergermd thing is, I am not living in the US 😏 So although I am using Google and Microsoft services, not always do I want a file or information to leave my house. This is why I am using clouds like nextcloud instead of onedrive for my sync things. Having a direct way to transfer without an additional step of up and downloading is very convenient - but like Kevin I think it depends on the use case!

Thank you , you are correct and awesome . I deleted my previous comment about this using bandwidth, while actually it used only some kilobytes to set up the connection.

Thanks Kevin - looks like a good idea. I have an old laptop with 50GB of photos that I need to copy to my new PC - is this a good solution for that use case?

Kevin, may God bless you with continued success!

A great application called Send Anywhere is my favorite way to send files. It even has QR codes to scan easily from phone to phone.
