The Use Of USB Cables: This is indeed an old standard way of moving Data from your laptop to your phone, it is so easy and simple, the only thing required is just a compatible cable. But the most annoying thing about using cables to transfer data down to your phone is that most laptops often don’t come with the USB-C to USB-A cable you need for most laptops. In case you have got one, behold is so simple to do, below are the steps on how to do it:
Step 1: Connect your phone
Step 2: Click on the notification Android shows, labeled; “Charging this device via USB”
Step 3: Select “File Transfer”
You are good to go, once this is done a window will open on your system showing your phone and SD card if you have any, then you can start copying your file across.
The Use Of iCloud Account: All you need to do is to install a Google Drive App on your laptop. You can use Dropbox or Microsoft’s OneDrive, they function the same way. After setting up “Google Drive”, the next thing is to sign in then select “Back up all file types” and then click on “next”.
