How to Effortlessly Transfer Files Between Android & PC Without Bluetooth or USB Cable

You probably know that you can transfer files between your Android phone and 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.
