Many are the times you want to share files or access files using your computer without USB cable.
the traditional methods for doing this is using the blue tooth capability in the computer.
But Alas!! there are other limitless ways to this faster, and easier and more so reliable. I will just highlight a few that I have been using.
- XENDER
- Xender! This is very obvious! You can use the Xender app in your android gadget to connect to the computer whether you have internet connectivity or not.
- Click on connect to PC from your phone.
- The phone creates a hotspot. Connect to that hotspot as shown in the screenshot.
 |
| Hotspot created |
- After that enter the IP address. Normally it is 192.168.43.1:33455
 |
| Accept the connection between computer and Xender |
 |
| Files in the phone |
2. AIRDROID
This app is my favourite sharing app for the android gadgets, it is very easy to use just like the xender, but the much more interactive interface in the windows platform.
 |
| Airdroid Interface for connecting to a computer |
 |
| Options Window |
 |
| choose hotspot if you don't have a usb cable |
 |
| Connect to the created hotspot and use the ip address above and enter it to your browser such as chrome (preferably) |
 |
| Airdroid window in the PC |
Airdroid is much better since one can even use their camera, call, read messages all in one platform in your pc.
3. DUKTO
This is a wireless connection as well. the difference with the rest is that it does not create a wifi hotspot but utilizes the existing one.
