All of us need sometime transfer files from mobile phones or smart devices such as tablets or iPhone to your laptop or computer, but we don’t know what the best methods are.  It’s popular issue and maybe it's very hard to solve it if you don’t know what the best methods to transfer files to another device.  Fortunately you have a lot of options here, and it’s all not complicated at all.


The best 5 methods to transfer files between devices 
First - transfer files via USB

We need in this method USB cable that’s suitable with your mobile phone.  Most modern Android devices use USB-C cable.   Another android devices need micro-USB cables, although others old devices needs mini -USB. Search what’s your mobile phone model or your device mobile via internet to detect kind of your USB Cable that’s suitable for your transfer files by it. If you know your mobile phone model, you should check up that from settings mobile.
If you have iPhone or Ipad you’ll need Apple Lightning cable. Choose your suitable kind for your iPhone version.
To transfer your files you should connect your mobile phone to computer by ISB cable. After connected 2 devices, it’ll appear on your computer screen that's there a new mobile phone has been connected to it. Depending on the operating system, you may need to click on an option that says something like "Allow browsing and transferring of files" from the menu that appears, the phrase differs from one operating system to another, but it is in the same meaning.
Don’t worry If no menu appears as most likely the computer will recognize your phone and is already ready to transfer files. Then you can browse your phone’s storage space to find the file and transfer it to any location you want on your computer.



Second - transfer files via Bluetooth
This method is similar to the method of transferring via USB, but it does not require connection wires, but it requires that the computer be equipped with Bluetooth technology. To start, the phone must be paired with the computer via Bluetooth. This process varies depending on the operating system, but most likely you will need to search for other Bluetooth devices, on both your phone and computer. Once the two devices discover each other, you will need to pair the phone and the computer with each other. When the two devices are successfully paired, open the file browser on your computer, and go to your phone’s storage space. From there, move the file to any place you want on your computer.

Third - transfer files via cloud storage
If you do not have a suitable USB connection cord, or you cannot use Bluetooth technology, you can use cloud storage services to transfer files. Popular cloud storage services include Dropbox and Google Drive. Both offer free storage space, but you need to create an account first.
Most cloud storage services have phone apps that you can download to your tablet, smartphones or any other device. You can use these applications to download files from the phone. On your computer, open the storage service version of your web browser to download these files from your account.


An added advantage, you can access the cloud storage service from almost any device. So as long as the files are kept in the cloud storage space, you can access and download them from any internet connected computer. 

IV - Transfer files via e-mail
Email file transfer is simpler than setting up an account with a cloud storage service, but in return it offers fewer long-term features and storage space.  To get started, use an email app on your phone to send an email to yourself, and make sure to attach the required file to the email. You can then open the email from your computer, and download the attached file. You can access the attached file from any computer connected to the Internet, as long as you can log in to your email account.

Fifth - Send files from your phone to a computer
Transferring files from the phone to the computer does not require any complicated operations. If you have a USB cable or the computer is equipped with Bluetooth technology, you can use either of them to connect the phone to the computer and transfer files. If neither option is available to you, you can use cloud storage or email services to transfer files.
