How to transfer files from iPhone or iPad to PC and vice versa without USB cable: 3 best and risk free ways

USB cables aside the fact that using them to transfer files is slow, they get destroyed quite easily and it is sometimes just annoying carrying them around. Transferring files without them is on the other hand handy  and you actually face no problems like broken cables and others. Do you just want to transfer files faster or you just hate the USB cable? Well, today I will be taking you through 3 ways you can transfer files from your iPhone, iPad or iPod to your PC without using your USB cable. Maybe after this, you might never need the USB cable again.

Let's get started


  • Shared WiFi: Shared WiFi simply means being on the same WiFi network for file transfer to take place. There are many apps in the Appstore that perform the cordless sharing stuff but in my opinion, there is none better than Air Transfer but Kingsoft office free also does the job quite well. This app is the best for transferring music, movies, documents and any other thing wirelessly without problems.The file is free with limits on the number of files you can transfer but you can upgrade in order to go unlimited.


HOW TO USE AIR TRANSFER


  1. Tap the WiFi switch and an IP address will appear.
  2. Open a browser on your PC and type the URL including the port in the address bar and click go.
  3. In order to transfer files from your phone to the computer, click on the down button next to the list of files and your files will be downloaded.
  4. To transfer files from PC to your phone, go to your computer's files, highlight the ones you want, drag and drop them onto the drop files here area on your web interface and they will be automatically sent to your device.
  • Bluetooth: Sending files through Bluetooth is admittedly slow but comes handy when you do not have WiFi connection and your USB cable is not functioning. Just go to your PC and also your other device's Settings, switch on the Bluetooth and start your file transfer.
  • Cloud Storage and Sharing: (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud). Cloud storage is becoming more common now a days and I can't talk about wireless file transfer without adding it. Google Drive is really popular with 10GB free space, OneDrive gives you 15GB and Dropbox gives you 2GB  free space. An advantage of using this service is that you get to access all your files anywhere, anytime and on any device device provided you have internet connection. All you need is your login data.

Those are the best 3 ways to wirelessly transfer files from your iPhone, iPad or iPod to your PC. It's now your turn to choose the one you prefer more

Your feedback is really important.
