To transfer large files from an Android phone to a Windows computer without using third-party tools, you can try the following two methods:
USB cable transfer:
- Connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable.
- Select "File Transfer" mode on your phone.
- Open your computer's file explorer, find your phone, and then manually drag and drop the file to your computer. This is one of the fastest and most stable methods, especially for large files (over 4GB), and is much faster than wireless transfer.
LAN sharing (Wi-Fi Direct):
- If your phone and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network, you can turn on the phone's "Developer Mode" and find the "Wireless ADB" option in Settings.
- Access the phone's LAN IP address through your computer and use Windows File Explorer to transfer files. Although slightly slower than USB, it is still a good choice for large files.
Both methods are simple and fast, do not require the installation of any third-party software, and are especially suitable for processing large files.
