Fast way to transfer files from PC to Google Pixel phone?
Transferring files from PC to Google Pixel phone can be done in several easy ways. I’ll walk you through a few of them, and I’ll keep things casual,
1. Using Google Drive: One of the simplest methods is using Google Drive. Here’s how you can do it.
Step 1: If you don't have Google Drive installed, you can go to the web version on your PC. Just log into your Google account.
Step 2: Drag and drop the files you want to transfer into Google Drive. Give it a minute to upload, especially if they’re big files.
Step 3: Open the Google Drive app on your Pixel phone. All those files will be there, and you can download them straight to your device.
I love this method to transfer files from PC to Google Pixel Phone because it’s super convenient. Plus, it’s cloud storage, so you’ve got a backup of your files!
2. Using Android File Transfer: If you want to do it directly without the cloud, you can use USB to transfer files from PC to Google Pixel phone. It’s straightforward!
Step 1: Grab a USB-C cable (the one that came with your Pixel works perfectly). Plug your Pixel into your PC.
Step 2: On your Pixel, you’ll see a notification about USB options. Tap on it and select File Transfer (MTP).
Step 3: Now on your PC, open File Explorer. You should see your Pixel phone listed under "This PC" (or "My Computer").
Step 4: Click on your Pixel to access its storage, and you can drag and drop files from your PC directly to your phone.
This method is quick, and you don’t need the internet! Just make sure your phone is unlocked when you connect it.
