Hadda saaxiibkaa talefanka Android -ka wata ayaa laga yaabaa inuu rabo fiidiyoowyo aad ka soo saartay iPhone-kaaga ama waxa laga yaabaa inaad rabto inaad sawirro badan oo PC-ga Windows -ka ah aad ka guuriso iPad-kaaga.

Maqaalkan, waxaan rajeynayaa inaan ku siiyo hage dhammaystiran si aad ula wadaagto aaladaha oo dhan intii suurtagal ah. Way dheeraan doontaa, markaa xor u noqo inaad hoos ugu booddo qaybta adiga ku khusaysa. Qaybaha waxaa loo kala qaybin doonaa wadaagga kombuyuutarrada, wadaagga kombuyuutarrada iyo aaladaha mobaylada, iyo wadaagga aaladaha mobilada oo keliya.

Fiiro gaar ah: Maqaalkani waxa uu ku xidhi doonaa qoraalo badan oo hore oo ku saabsan Tips Tech Online iyo Help Desk Geek sababtoo ah maqaalladani waxay sharraxayaan hawlaha qaarkood tallaabo tallaabo. ^{(Note: This article will link out to a lot of my previous posts on Online Tech Tips and Help Desk Geek because those articles explain certain tasks step by step. )}

Wadaagista Files Inta u dhaxaysa Kombiyuutarada

Marka ay timaado in la wadaago faylasha u dhexeeya kombiyuutarada, waxaad u kala qaybin kartaa laba nooc: wadaagga maxaliga ah ama wadaagista fog. Haddii aad u baahan tahay inaad nuqul ka sameyso qaar ka mid ah feylasha kumbiyuutarka kale ee shabakada degaankaaga, aad bay u dhakhso badan doontaa sababtoo ah waxaad isticmaali doontaa Ethernet ama Wi-Fi si aad u sameyso wareejinta.

Tani waa habka ugu wanaagsan ee loogu wareejin karo tiro badan oo xog kombuyuutar kale si degdeg ah. Markaad koobiyayso galalka ka baxsan LAN -gaaga (shabakadda aagga deegaanka), waxaa xaddidaya xawaarahaaga internetka . ^(Internet)Haddii aad leedahay Verizon FIOS oo leh 75 Mbps upload / soo dejinta (oo aan hadda haysto), ka dibna u wareejinta xaddi badan oo xog ah kombuyuutar fog ayaa sidoo kale noqon doonta mid degdeg ah.

Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii aad ku xayiran tahay AT&T oo aad leedahay xawli aad u xun oo ah 1.5 Mbps (kaas oo aan lahaa waagii hore), waxay qaadan doontaa waqti dheer inaad ku shubto dhowr gigabytes oo xog ah. Aan marka hore ka hadalno wareejinta xogta deegaanka.

Wareejinta Xogta Deegaanka

Haddii aad isku dayayso inaad xogta wadaagto oo keliya kombayuutarrada Windows , Microsoft ayaa ugu dambayntii wax fududaysay soo-gelinta kooxaha guriga ee Windows 7 . Waxaan rajeyneynaa^(Hopefully) , aadan ku soconin Windows XP^{(not running Windows XP)} ama Windows Vista sababtoo ah kooxaha guriga kuma shaqeeyaan nidaamyada hawlgalka. Haddii aad tahay, weli waxaan kuu sharixi doonaa hababka aad isticmaali karto si aad u wadaagto dhammaan noocyada Windows .

Windows Homegroups

Si aad u bilowdo, marka hore akhri qoraalkayga ku saabsan samaynta koox-guri gudaha Windows 7. Ogsoonow in nidaamku uu isku mid yahay Windows 8 iyo Windows 10 .

Haddii aad ku shaqaynayso Windows 8 , akhri qoraalkayga ku saabsan sida loogu biiri karo mashiinka Windows 8 ee kooxda guriga ee Windows 7^{(join a Windows 8 machine to a Windows 7 homegroup)} . Haddii aad qabto wax dhibaato ah oo kale ku xidhidhiyaha kombuyuutarka Windows iyo kooxda guriga, akhri ^(Windows)cilad-saarteyda homegroups gudaha boostada Windows.

Wadaagista Faylka Mac iyo PC

Markaa taasi waxay ku saabsan tahay PC-yada Windows^{(Windows PCs)} . Waa habka ugu fudud oo si fiican ayay u shaqeysaa. Hadda aan nidhaahno waxaad u baahan tahay inaad wadaagto faylasha u dhexeeya PC iyo Mac , maxaad samaynaysaa?

Hagaag, wali way fududahay sababtoo ah Apple iyo Microsoft labaduba waxay taageerayaan nidaamyada hawlgalka midba midka kale dhowrkii sano ee la soo dhaafay. Tani waxay la macno tahay inay hadda aad ugu fududdahay Mac^(Mac) si uu u galo gal la wadaago ee Windows iyo lidkeeda.

Marka hore, waxaad akhrin kartaa casharradayda faahfaahsan ee ku saabsan gelitaanka galka Mac la wadaago ee Windows PC^{(accessing a Mac shared folder from a Windows PC)} . Waa wax toos ah oo dadka badankiisu waa inay awoodaan inay sameeyaan.

Haddii aad rabto inaad si kale u sameyso, akhri boostadayda ku saabsan gelitaanka faylka la wadaago ee Windows ee Mac ku shaqeeya OS X.

Isticmaalka habkan abuurista faylalka la wadaago waxay sidoo kale kuu ogolaaneysaa inaad la wadaagto xogta u dhexeysa noocyadii hore ee Windows sida XP iyo Vista oo wata noocyo cusub iyo sidoo kale inta u dhaxaysa Windows , Mac iyo Linux nidaamyada hawlgalka.

Si toos ah ugu xidh Kombiyuutarada

Habka kale ee loo wadaago faylasha labada kombiyuutar waa in si toos ah loogu xidho. Waxaad samayn kartaa tan haddii labada kombiyuutaradu haystaan ​​kaadhadhka wireless-ka ama jaakadaha Ethernet^(Ethernet) .

Haddii aad haysatid laba kombiyuutar oo labadooduba leeyihiin kaadhadhka wireless-ka, waxaad ku xidhi kartaa bilaa-waayirka adiga oo abuuraya shabakad ad-hoc^{(connect them wirelessly by creating an ad-hoc network)} . Waa habraac cadaalad ah oo aad u dheer waxaana jira xaddidaado habkan ah, marka waxaan kaliya kuu soo jeedinayaa inaad isticmaasho haddii aadan isticmaali karin kooxaha guriga ama aadan marin u helin Wi-Fi ama shabakad LAN ah.

Isticmaalka habkan, waxaa laga yaabaa inaad fadhido xeebta oo aad weli isku xirto labada kumbuyuutar oo aad wadaagto xogta. Haddii labada kombiyuutarada ay leeyihiin jaakadaha Ethernet^(Ethernet) , markaa waxaad iibsan kartaa fiilada isdhaafka ah oo aad si toos ah ugu xiri kartaa fiilada.

Waxaad akhrin kartaa dhajintayda ku xidhidhiyaha laba kombuyuutar iyadoo la adeegsanayo fiilada isdhaafka ah^{(connecting two computer via crossover cable)} , laakiin waxaa laga yaabaa inaad ku dhacdo arrimaha qaarkood maadaama ay waxoogaa farsamo ah tahay.

Xulashada Xisbiga Saddexaad

Waxaa weli jira doorashooyin badan oo lagu heli karo faylalka si hufan loogu wareejinayo gudaha. Mid ka mid ah ikhtiyaari waa in la isticmaalo Dropbox iyo in la awoodsiiyo ikhtiyaarka loo yaqaan LAN sync^{(option called LAN sync)} . Habkan ayaa si toos ah u ogaan doona in kombuyuutar kale oo Dropbox ku rakiban yahay isla shabakad isku mid ah oo halkii uu marka hore ku dhejin lahaa Dropbox ka dibna uu dib u soo celin lahaa, wuxuu si fudud ugu wareejin doonaa xogta LAN -ka kumbuyuutarka kale.

Wadayaasha USB

Ugu dambayn, laakiin aan ugu yarayn, waxa ay isticmaalayaan flash-ka caadiga ah ee USB -ga si ay xogta ugu gudbiyaan kombiyuutarada. Ma aan sheegin marka hore sababtoo ah waxaan u maleynayaa in dadka intooda badan ay hore u ogaayeen tan oo ay rabaan inay u fuliyaan wareejinta si kale.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxaa xusid mudan in isku xirka jirka ee kombuyuutarkaaga ay u badan tahay inay tahay habka ugu dhaqsaha badan ee lagu wareejinayo tiro badan oo xog ah. Haddii kombuyuutarku leeyahay USB 3.0 ama deked eSATA ah, xawaaraha wareejintu aadbay u ololaysaa. Markaa ha ilaawin habkan fudud ee wax loo qabto marka hore.

Wareejinta xogta fog

Dhammaan waxa kor ku xusan waxay ahaayeen wareejinta xogta deegaanka. Hadda aan u gudubno xogta wareejinta fog. Ka soo qaad^(Suppose) inaad leedahay saaxiib ama xubin qoyskaaga ah oo aad rabto inaad u gudbiso xogta dadka ku nool qayb kale oo adduunka ah, markaa waa maxay habka ugu wanaagsan ee aad u mari karto dhaqdhaqaaqa xogta?

Adeegyada Cloud

Jawaabtu waa in ay ku xiran tahay. Haddii aad leedahay xiriir degdeg ah, gaar ahaan xawaaraha kor u qaadista degdega ah, markaa ikhtiyaarka ugu fiican waa inaad isticmaasho adeegga kaydinta daruuraha. Si fudud^(Simply) u rakib Dropbox , Box , OneDrive , Amazon CloudDrive , Google Drive , iCloud Drive , iwm, ku shub xogtaada ka dibna ku soo deji mishiinka fog.

Tani waxay si fiican u shaqeysaa dadka intooda badan, laakiin waxaa jira arrimo qaar. Marka hore, sida caadiga ah waa inaad boos ka iibsataa adeegyadan kaydinta daruuraha, taas oo macnaheedu yahay inaanay macno samaynayn qof isku dayaya inuu sameeyo xawilaad hal mar ah oo ah 500GB oo xog ah. Marka labaad, waa inaad ku kalsoon tahay xogtaada shirkad saddexaad sida Apple , Amazon , Microsoft , iwm. Xogta aad wareejinayso waxay noqon kartaa mid xasaasi ah oo laga yaabo inaadan rabin inaad halis u geliso server-yada saddexaad.

Isku fac

Kiisaska noocaan ah, waxaa jira dhowr doorasho oo wanaagsan. Mid ka mid ah kuwa aan jeclahay waa BitTorrent Sync . Iyada oo la adeegsanayo BitTorrent Sync , ma jirto qayb ka mid ah daruuraha sidaas darteed xogtaada waxaa loo wareejiyaa si dhakhso leh oo ammaan ah. Nooca bilaashka ah ma laha xadka cabbirka faylka ama xadka cabbirka faylka. Waxa kaliya oo ay leedahay xaddid tirada faylalka la isku dhejin karo.

Sida iska cad, haddii aad rabto in aad isku dhejiso farabadan xogta u dhaxaysa kombiyuutarada, waxaad u baahan doontaa inaad iibsato Pro , laakiin haddii aad kaliya u baahan tahay inaad ku wareejiso qaar ka mid ah faylalka dhabta ah inta badan, ka dibna nooca bilaashka ah waa mid qumman.

Adeegaha faylka gaarka ah

Sababta aan u jeclahay BitTorrent Sync waa sababtoo ah waxay kuu qabtaa shaqada oo dhan oo runtii way fududahay in la isticmaalo, isla markaana aad u ammaan badan oo degdeg ah. Haddii aad door bidayso in aad adigu sameyso, waxaad akhrin kartaa boostadayda ku saabsan samaynta server-ka gurigaaga^{(setting up your own home file server)} .

Dhab ahaantii waa waqti-qaadasho iyo farsamo ahaan adag, laakiin sidoo kale aad u faa'iido leh markaad hesho dhammaan dejinta. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxaad u baahan tahay inaad aad uga taxaddarto arrimaha ammaanka ee suurtogalka ah sida dekedaha furan ee routerkaaga ama firewall-ka khaldan.

Wadaagista faylalka u dhexeeya ^(Between) kombuyuutarrada^(Computers) iyo aaladaha mobilada^(Mobile)

Qaybteena labaad, waxaan uga hadli doonaa wadaagista xogta kombiyuutarada iyo aaladaha mobilada. Sidii hore oo kale, nooca xal ee adiga kuu shaqeeya waxay ku xiran tahay qalabkaaga iyo nidaamyada hawlgalka. Aan ku bilowno waxyaabaha fudud marka hore.

Isticmaalayaasha Apple

Haddii aad haysato Mac cusub oo ku shaqeeya OS X 10.7 ama ka sareeya iyo iPhone ama iPad cusub oo ku shaqeeya iOS 7 ama ka sareeya, markaa waxaad isticmaali kartaa muuqaal la yiraahdo AirDrop si aad ugu wareejiso faylasha kombiyuutarkaaga iyo qalabka gacanta. AirDrop kuma shaqeyso aaladaha Android ama nidaamyada kale ee hawlgalka sida Windows ama Linux , marka si cadaalad ah ayey u xaddidan tahay.

Haddii aad isticmaasho aaladda Apple , laakiin aad u baahan tahay xogtaada mashiinka Windows , waxaan kugula talin lahaa inaad si fudud ugu rakibto iCloud Drive Windows^{(iCloud Drive on Windows)} . Waxaad nuqul ka samayn kartaa nooc kasta oo xogta aad rabto in aad iCloud Drive ka Mac ama Windows mashiinka. Si la yaab leh, macruufka, waxaad arki kartaa oo keliya faylasha iCloud abka qaarkood maadaama Apple uusan weli abuurin iCloud Drive iOS app ilaa hadda.

Isticmaalayaasha Android

Haddii aad ku jirto Android , waxa kale oo aad haysataa laba ikhtiyaar oo u shaqeeya sida AirDrop oo malaha xitaa ka sii fiican. Laba apps oo isla markiiba maskaxdayda ku soo dhaca waa Filedrop , AirDroid , iyo SHAREit . Isticmaalka apps-kan, waxaad wadaagi kartaa faylasha u dhexeeya qalabka Android , Windows , Mac iyo xataa iPhone, iPad ama Windows Phone .

Galitaanka faylalka la wadaago

Ikhtiyaar kale haddii aad hore ugu haysatid qaar ka mid ah faylalka gudaha ee la wadaago ee kumbiyuutarka guriga waa inaad isticmaasho apps sida ES File Explorer File Manager on Android ama FileExplorer Free on iOS.

Barnaamijyadani waxay kuu oggolaanayaan inaad ku xidho mashiinkaaga Windows , Mac ama Linux oo aad geliso faylal kasta oo la wadaago. Waxaad si fudud ugu wareejin kartaa faylasha labada siyaabood. Waxa kale oo jira apps kale oo badan oo sameeya wax la mid ah, markaa xor u noqo inaad ka raadiso agagaarka. Kuwan uun baan u sheegay waayo hore ayaan u isticmaalay. Waxaa laga yaabaa inaysan ahayn kuwa ugu fiican.

Halkaa marka ay marayso, waxa bilaabmaya in wax badan la isku daro marka la eego waxa app ama adeega loo isticmaali karo in lagu fuliyo hawl gaar ah. Tusaale ahaan, waxa kale oo aad si fudud u isticmaali kartaa adeegga kaydinta daruuraha si aad ugu kala wareejiso faylasha u dhexeeya kombayutarka iyo qalabka gacanta. Waxa kale oo aad isticmaali kartaa BitTorrent Sync si aad u sameyso oo aad uga gudubto daruuraha.

Wadaagista faylalka Inta u dhaxaysa^{(Between Mobile)} Aaladaha Mobaylada oo keliya

Haddii aad raadinayso inaad la wadaagto faylasha u dhexeeya aaladaha mobilada oo keliya, markaa waxaad isticmaali kartaa mid ka mid ah xalalka kor lagu soo sheegay. Mahadsanid, runtii ma jiraan wax dheeraad ah oo halkan lagu xuso.

Haddii aad leedahay aaladaha Apple , isticmaal iCloud Drive , AirDrop ama iCloud Photo Albums oo la wadaago^{(Shared Photo Albums)} . Haddii aad ku jirto Android oo aad ku socoto nooca 4.1 ama ka sareeya oo leh chip NFC , markaa waxaad isticmaali kartaa wax la yiraahdo Android Beam . Tani waxay kuu ogolaaneysaa inaad si bilaa-la'aan ah ugu wareejiso xogta labada qalab ee Android ee u dhow.

Qalabka aan Apple ahayn, waxaad sidoo kale si fudud u beddeli kartaa kaararka microSD, haddii labada taleefanba ay leeyihiin. Telefoonada Android^(Android) sidoo kale waxay taageeraan wareejinta faylka bluetooth. Windows Phone waxa kale oo uu taageeraa wadaagista faylalka bluetooth-ka, marka aragti ahaan waa in aad awood u yeelan kartaa in aad isku xidho Android^(Android) iyo Windows Phone oo aad wadaagto faylasha, in kasta oo aanan waligey tan samayn.

Haddii aad rabto inaad xogta la wadaagto iPhone iyo aaladda Android , waxa fiican inaad isticmaasho adeegga kaydinta daruuraha ee qolo saddexaad ka dibna kaliya u dir qofka kale isku xirka share. Dropbox , OneDrive , Google Drive , iwm dhamaantood waxay kuu ogolaanayaan inaad la wadaagto faylasha ama faylalka, kuwaas oo ay soo dejisan karaan dhinaca kale.

Sidoo kale, sida aan kor ku soo sheegnay, waxaa jira barnaamijyo gaar ah sida SHAREit oo aad kala soo bixi karto iOS, Android ama Windows Phone , si aad si fudud u wadaagto faylasha nidaamka kasta ee mobile.

Gabagabo

Waxaan rajeyneynaa, maqaalkani wuxuu ku siiyay fikrado ka wanaagsan sida loo wareejiyo xogtaada oo aan ku wareerin wax badan! Waxaa jira fursado iyo siyaabo badan oo loo maro samaynta hal shay.

Taladayda ugu fiican waa in aan tijaabiyo adeegyo kala duwan, barnaamijyo, apps oo aan aragno kuwa sida ugu fiican ugu shaqeeya waxaad isku dayeyso inaad sameyso. Aniga ahaan, waxaan u isticmaalaa adeegyada kaydinta daruuraha wareejinta qaarkood, laakiin sidoo kale waxaan si joogto ah u isticmaalaa AirDrop , USB flash drives, kooxaha guriga iyo faylalka la wadaago si aan sidoo kale u dhaqaajiyo xogta.

Haddii aad hayso fikrad ka fiican, app, adeeg shaqada kuu qabta, xor u noqo inaad faallo ku dhejiso oo nala soo socodsii. Ku raaxayso!

How to Share Files Between PCs, Smartphones and Tablets

When it comeѕ to shаring files these days, it’s no longer just about sharing between computers. Now your friend with an Android phonе might wаnt some videoѕ уou took from your iPhone or you may want to copy a bunch of pictures from a Windоws PC tо your iPаd.

In this article, I hope to give you as complete a guide to sharing across devices as possible. It’s going to be long, so feel free to skip down to the section that applies to you. The sections will be broken down into sharing between computers, sharing between computers and mobile devices, and sharing between mobile devices only.

Note: This article will link out to a lot of my previous posts on Online Tech Tips and Help Desk Geek because those articles explain certain tasks step by step. 

Sharing Files Between Computers

When it comes to sharing files between computers, you can break it down into two types: local sharing or remote sharing. If you need to copy some files to another computer on your local network, it will be much faster because you’ll either be using Ethernet or Wi-Fi to perform the transfer.

This is the best way to transfer a large amount of data to another computer quickly. When copying files outside of your LAN (local area network), you are limited by your Internet speed. If you have Verizon FIOS with a 75 Mbps upload/download connection (which I have now), then transferring large amounts of data to a remote computer will also be fast.

However, if you’re stuck with AT&T and have a miserable 1.5 Mbps upload speed (which I had in the past), it’ll take a long time to upload a few gigabytes of data. Let’s first talk about local data transfers.

Local Data Transfers

If you’re trying to share data between only Windows computers, Microsoft has finally made things easier with the introduction of homegroups in Windows 7. Hopefully, you’re not running Windows XP or Windows Vista because homegroups don’t work with those operating systems. If you are, I will still explain methods you can use to share between all versions of Windows.

Windows Homegroups

To get started, first read my post on setting up a Homegroup in Windows 7. Note that the procedure is exactly the same in Windows 8 and Windows 10.

If you’re running Windows 8, read my post on how to join a Windows 8 machine to a Windows 7 homegroup. If you have any other problems connecting a Windows computer to a homegroup, read my troubleshooting homegroups in Windows post.

Mac and PC File Sharing

So that’s about it for Windows PCs. It’s the simplest way and it works really well. Now let’s say you need to share files between a PC and a Mac, what do you have to do?

Well, it’s still pretty easy because both Apple and Microsoft have been supporting each other’s operating systems over the last several years. This means it’s now very simple for a Mac to access a Windows shared folder and vice versa.

First, you can read my detailed tutorial on accessing a Mac shared folder from a Windows PC. It’s pretty straightforward and something most people should be able to do.

If you want to do it the other way around, read my post on accessing a Windows shared folder from a Mac running OS X.

Using this method of creating shared folders also allows you to share data between older versions of Windows like XP and Vista with newer versions and also between Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.

Directly Connect Computers

Another way to share files between two computers is to connect them directly. You can do this if both computers have wireless cards or Ethernet jacks.

If you have two computers that both have wireless cards, you can connect them wirelessly by creating an ad-hoc network. It’s a fairly long procedure and there are some limitations with this method, so I only suggest you use it if you can’t use homegroups or don’t have access to a Wi-Fi or LAN network.

Using this method, you could be sitting on the beach and still connect the two computers and share data. If both the computers have Ethernet jacks, then you can purchase a crossover cable and connect them directly via cable.

You can read my posting on connecting two computer via crossover cable, but you might run into some issues as it’s a bit more technical.

Third-Party Options

There are still more options for getting files moved around efficiently locally. One option is to use Dropbox and to enable an option called LAN sync. This feature will automatically figure out that another computer that has Dropbox installed is on the same network and instead of uploading it to Dropbox first and then syncing it back down, it will simply transfer the data over the LAN to the other computer.

USB Drives

Last, but not least, is using traditional USB flash drives to transfer data between computers. I didn’t mention it first because I’m assuming most people already know this and want to perform the transfer some other way.

However, it’s worth noting that physical connections to your computer are probably the fastest way to transfer large amounts of data. If your computer has a USB 3.0 or eSATA port, the transfer speeds are blazing fast. So don’t forget about this simple way of doing things first.

Remote Data Transfers

All of that above was for local data transfers. Now let’s move on to remote data transfers. Suppose you have a friend or family member you want to transfer data to that lives in another part of the world, then what’s the best way to go about moving the data?

Cloud Services

The answer is that it depends. If you have a fast connection, especially a fast upload speed, then the best option is to use a cloud storage service. Simply install Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Amazon CloudDrive, Google Drive, iCloud Drive, etc., upload your data and then download it on the remote machine.

This works well for most people, but there are some issues. Firstly, you normally have to purchase space on these cloud storage services, which means they don’t make sense for someone trying to do a one-time transfer of 500GB of data. Secondly, you have to trust your data with a third-party company like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. The data you are transferring could be sensitive and you may not want to risk putting it on third party servers.

Peer to Peer

For those types of cases, there are a couple of good options. One of my favorites is BitTorrent Sync. With BitTorrent Sync, there is no cloud component and therefore your data is transferred more quickly and more securely. The free version has no folder size limit or file size limit. It only has a limit on the number of folders that can be synced.

Obviously, if you want to sync a bunch of data between computers, you’ll need to buy Pro, but if you just need to transfer some really large files often, then the free version is perfect.

Personal File Server

The reason I like BitTorrent Sync is because it does all the work for you and is really easy to use, while at the same time being very secure and fast. If you prefer to do it all yourself, you can read my post on setting up your own home file server.

It’s definitely time-consuming and technically challenging, but also very rewarding when you get it all setup. However, you do need to be more careful about possible security issues like open ports on your router or a misconfigured firewall.

Sharing Files Between Computers and Mobile Devices

In our second section, we’ll talk about sharing data between computers and mobile devices. As before, the type of solution that works for you depends on your hardware and operating systems. Let’s start off with the easy stuff first.

Apple Users

If you have a relatively new Mac running OS X 10.7 or higher and a relatively new iPhone or iPad running iOS 7 or higher, then you can use a feature called AirDrop to transfer files between your computer and mobile device. AirDrop does not work with Android devices or other operating systems like Windows or Linux, so it’s fairly limited.

If you use an Apple device, but need your data on a Windows machine, I would suggest simply installing iCloud Drive on Windows. You can copy any kind of data you want to iCloud Drive from a Mac or Windows machine. Oddly, on iOS, you can only see iCloud files for certain apps as Apple hasn’t created an iCloud Drive iOS app as of yet.

Android Users

If you’re on Android, you also have a couple of options that work just like AirDrop and probably even better. A couple of apps that come to my mind immediately are Filedrop, AirDroid, and SHAREit. Using these apps, you can share files between your Android device, Windows, Mac and even iPhone, iPad or Windows Phone.

Accessing Shared Folders

Another option if you already have some locally shared folders on a home computer is to use apps like ES File Explorer File Manager on Android or FileExplorer Free on iOS.

These apps let you connect to your Windows, Mac or Linux machine and access any shared folders. You can transfer files both ways easily. There are also many other apps that do the same thing, so feel free to search around. I just mentioned these because I have used them before. They may not be the best.

At this point, there starts to be a lot of overlap in terms of what app or service can be used to accomplish a certain task. For example, you can also easily use a cloud storage service to transfer files between a computer and mobile device. You could also use BitTorrent Sync to do it and bypass the cloud.

Sharing Files Between Mobile Devices Only

If you’re looking to share files between mobile devices only, then you can use one of the solutions mentioned above. Thankfully, there really isn’t anything extra to mention here.

If you have Apple devices, use iCloud Drive, AirDrop or iCloud Shared Photo Albums. If you are on Android and running version 4.1 or higher with an NFC chip, then you can use something called Android Beam. This lets you wirelessly transfer data between two Android devices in close proximity.

For non-Apple devices, you can also simply swap microSD cards, if both phones have them. Android phones also support bluetooth file transfers. Windows Phone also supports bluetooth file sharing, so theoretically you should be able to pair an Android and Windows Phone together and share files, though I have never done this myself.

If you want to share data between an iPhone and Android device, it’s best to use a third party cloud storage service and then just send the other person a share link. Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc all let you share out files or folders, which can then be downloaded by the other party.

Also, as mentioned above, there are certain apps like SHAREit that you can download for iOS, Android or Windows Phone, so you can easily share files between any mobile operating system.

Conclusion

Hopefully, this article gave you some better ideas on how to transfer your data and didn’t confuse you more! There are lots of options and ways to go about doing one thing.

My best advice is to try several different services, programs, apps and see which ones works best for what you are trying to do. For me, I use cloud storage services for certain transfers, but I also regularly use AirDrop, USB flash drives, homegroups and shared folders to move data too.

If you have a better idea, app, service that gets the job done for you, feel free to post a comment and let us know. Enjoy!
