Well, in order to wirelessly share data between our computer and phone, we can also use Cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive. However, this method is only useful if you want to share small files. Popular cloud services like Dropbox and Google Drive allows users to upload files from computer, or phone, and then allow them to access those files from any device.

Moreover, cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive have its own app for mobile devices. So, you can use those apps to sync files between your devices. You just need to visit the cloud provider’s website and then choose the plan. You can opt for the free one and then create an account to transfer files between all of your devices through your cloud storage.

Through Bluetooth
Well, the use of Bluetooth is diminishing day by day. But, the technology is very popular before the WiFi. There is still some space left for Bluetooth for file transfer, especially if your phone doesn’t have WiFi connectivity. If you have a laptop, Bluetooth might be available and if you have a desktop computer, then you can buy a Bluetooth adapter for pc.

The file transferring process with Bluetooth is much easier compared to WiFi which needed apps to work. However, Bluetooth is much slower compared to the WiFi. Bluetooth could be the best option if you just need to transfer files below 100MB.
