This is a way to transfer files from your computer to your Android phone without a USB cable

Usually, when copying or moving files from an Android phone to a computer, we often use a USB cable. However, to save time and not use USB cable, you can still transfer files from your Android phone to your computer and vice versa from your computer to your Android phone.

1. All you need to have

Before taking steps to transfer files from your computer to your Android phone without using a cable, you have to install some applications on your Android device:

- ES File Explorer: the file manager on Android devices. The application is integrated with search functions, image viewing and most importantly a LAN used to "move" files to a computer via Wifi.

Download ES File Explorer to the device and install it here.

- swiFTP: FTP server (FTP server) allows users to transfer multiple files from Windows, Linux or Mac computers via FTP connection.

Download swiFTP to your device and install it here.

2. Activate FTP access on your Android phone

After installing swiFTP, the app icon will now appear on your Android device's screen.

Click on the application icon and you will be asked to enter your username and password.

Now you can "turn" your mobile device into an FTP server (FTP server) by clicking the Start button and you can set up an FTP connection on your phone.

After running swiFTP, you will see an IP address. Your task is to note the IP address and port number, which will be used to establish an FTP connection on your Android phone.

3. Upload files to Android phones

For the sake of this process, it is better to create an Android phone shortcut in Windows Explorer. Open the Computer folder, then map your Android phone to Windows File Explorer.

Enter the IP address of your Android phone.

Enter the username you created on swiFTP and then click Next to continue.

Set an appropriate name for the connection in the frame Type a name for this network location as shown below:

From now on whenever you need to access your phone, just double-click the FTP shortcut icon, enter the FTP password and you can access all the files on your phone.

4. Transfer files to computer

In the section above, Network Administrator showed you how to receive and transfer files on your Android phone via FTP. In this section, Network Administrator will guide you to transfer files directly to a shared folder on your computer using ES File Explorer.

First on the Android phone application screen, find and open the ES File Explorer application. ES File Explorer includes 3 tabs: The Local tab displays all the files on your phone, a LAN tab displays all devices on the Local Network and an FTP tab displays FTP servers on the network of friend.

Click the Menu button to open the ES File Explorer Menu, then click the New button .

Scanning the network saves you time to find the computer's IP address. Your phone will search all access devices on the local network (Local Network) and display on the LAN tab.

And you will see all the shared folders accessible on the intranet system.

Go back to the Local tab and copy the files you want to upload to your computer.

You can copy multiple files if you want and ES File Explorer will group the files to the clipboard.

Go back to the LAN tab, click the clipboard and you will see all the files you just copied.

Click the Menu button to open the Context Menu of ES File Explorer.

Click Operation , then click to select Paste and ES File Explorer will upload all these files to the computer.

5. Synchronize files via cloud service (cloud)

In addition to the above, you can also use DropBox to sync files via an Internet connection.

DropBox is a great application that users can use to share files on computers and other devices. To use DropBox the most effectively, you can refer here.
