How do I transfer files directly from Android to PC wireless without usb?
Using Syncthing-Fork is a great free and open-source way to transfer files from Android to PC. It operates as a peer-to-peer synchronization tool, meaning it directly syncs files between devices over your local network or the internet, without relying on cloud services.
1. Install Syncthing-Fork on Both Devices
2. Set Up Devices and Share Folders
Launch Syncthing-Fork on your Android, and do the same on your PC.
Each device generates a unique ID. You need to pair the devices by exchanging these IDs.
On your Android, choose a folder you want to sync (e.g., a specific folder for transfers).
On your PC, select or create a folder where files will be saved.
Add each device to the other’s list of trusted devices by entering the device IDs.
Approve the sharing on both sides.
3. Start Syncing
Once paired, Syncthing-Fork will automatically sync files between the selected folders whenever both devices are online and connected.
Transferred files from Android to PC in the shared folder, and vice versa.
Use Case:
Ideal for regular, secure, and private file transfers.
Great for syncing photos, documents, or any files without cables.
Works over Wi-Fi or mobile data, depending on your setup.
