Do you know that you can transfer files between your Android phone into PC? And you also know that you can do it via Bluetooth and USB data cable.


Now, what if you have a PC that isn't Bluetooth enabled? Or there is no USB cable close at hand. And what if all the USB ports on the PC are currently in use? What are you going to do then, forget about the transfer?

No! Don’t! There is a third option that is even faster than Bluetooth and because it is a wireless method, it is more convenient than USB and better than cloud storage services (since you don't need an internet connection for it) .

It makes use of Wi-Fi. Actually, your PC and Android will have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.


There are many apps that does this but we are going to use Anmobi's Xender.

How You Can Transfer Files Between PC and Android Using Xender

2. Next, On your phone, fire up Xender. Setup your profile if you have not. Tap the button and then Connect to PC


3. Still on Xender, You will be shown a URL and a verification code. Launch any browser on PC and enter them as indicated below.


After that you would be shown to accept the request as shown below.



Just as I said before, you can transfer/exchange between the two devices be it an image, video, pdf, or even a full folder (in file anything at all).

4. To share files from the phone to PC, select the files (Ctrl + Click to select multiple files) and click the Download icon on the right of the screen. Remember that multiple files and folders will be auto-zipped prior downloading.

To share files from Pc to the Android, navigate to the folder where you want to save the file and click the Upload icon. Next, click the Upload button from the pop-up window, navigate to the file and upload it.
