The need to transfer a file from your PC to your phone, or from your phone to your PC is something that comes up always. The quickest and easiest means you’ve got to carry out this transaction between these two gadgets is your USB cord.
What if after connecting via USB, your PC refuses to recognize your Smartphone due to some driver issue or something else?
Or maybe, your USB is damaged, or there is no USB cord at your disposal?
What do you do?
Go for USB hunting I guess? No, that is downright inconvenient.
Nah, that is downright inconvenient and unnecessary.
With this post, I want to show you a step by step guide on how to connect phone to pc without usb cable and transfer files between your Android and PC without jumbling up and down looking for USB cable. This procedure will make use of the Xender app on your phone which everybody now prefers to use more than the Bluetooth technology on our phones.
I will make the tutorial very easy in a way everybody can be able to understand it. Even if you are the type of person that develop goosebumps anytime you come across anything techy.
Let’s shoot
- Power on Zender App on your phone. If you don’t have the App, download it here.
- Make sure your data is switched off.
- Can you see that orange-colored image that looks like a rocket? click on it
- Click on PC/Mac
- Now, If your Data is On, it will show you this page and the transfer is going to consume your data if you go by this method. Consuming your data is going to sabotage the purpose of this method of file transfer.
