Photo - Collected

"Do you have a photo on your Android phone that you want to send to your Mac or PC wirelessly? There are many ways to transfer photos, multiple images, or other files between devices. Some methods are especially easy to use. In this guide, we’ll show you a few simple options, including Google services and third-party tools.

Method 1: Upload to Google Drive

Step 1: Open the photo you wish to share in your gallery app. Tap the share icon.

Step 2: Open the Google Drive app on your Android device. Tap the “+ New" icon and select Upload. Browse and select the image you wish to upload.

Step 3: Once uploaded, tap the three-dot menu next to the file and copy the link. You can open this link on any device, be it a Mac, PC, iOS device, or iPad, to download the file wirelessly.

Method 2: Use Google Photos

Google Photos provides an easy way to back up your images and also offers an easy sharing option.

Step 1: Open the Google Photos app and locate the photo you wish to share.

Step 2: Tap the share icon at the bottom and select Create Link.

Step 3: Copy the generated link and share it. This link can be opened on any device to access the photo.

Method 3: Use Snapdrop

Snapdrop is a simple, browser-based tool for transferring files.

Step 1: Visit Snapdrop.net on both your Android device and your computer (Mac or PC), or tablet.

Step 2: On the Snapdrop interface, tap the computer name displayed on your phone’s screen.

Step 3: Choose the file you want to transfer. A pop-up will appear on the destination computer; simply save the file. The transferred file will be stored in the Downloads folder.

Method 4: Use ToffeeShare

ToffeeShare is a peer-to-peer file transfer service that is end-to-end encrypted, addressing privacy concerns for many users. This ensures that nothing is stored online, providing peace of mind.

Step 1: Open ToffeeShare.com. You will be asked to select the files you wish to transfer. Grant the necessary permissions.

Step 2: After selecting your files, a link will be generated. You can now share this link with the recipient.

Step 3: When the recipient opens the link—whether on a Mac, PC, or another phone—they will be prompted to download the file. Once they click the download button, the file will be transferred in no time.
