We all know how easy & fast it is nowadays to share
files between a device and the other. The progressive and rapid advancement in
technology brought about the existence of so many varieties of mobile devices
such as mobile phones, tablets, ipads e.t.c [specifically smart phones].
These smart phones have at least two(2) media for file
transfer which are “Bluetooth” and “Wi-Fi direct”, which i believe that most of
us prefer using “wi-fi” to Bluetooth. May be due to the speed at which datas
are being transferred.
But come to think
of this, what of those that had the two media of data transfer disabled on
their phone, is there any other method/means such person can use to transfer
files from a particular device to another or do you think that is simply the end for them? Oh No!!!.
Remember that where there is a will there must surely be a way, that’s why am
writing an article on this topic today so that you can be enlightened &
know how to go about it.The end has not yet come because your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is not
working, there are actually other ways you can get files into your device even
without the two medium mentioned above.
Below are some other recommended ways in which files can
be transferred:
1) USB CABLE: All smartphones have a USB cable that
comes with it, when just purchased new, if yours is no more working again(can’t connect to pc
successfully) you will need to go to an
electronic shop and purchased one that works perfectly with your phone.
The functions of a USB
cable are:
·
Charging capability: it charges your device.
·
Phone to pc data connection: connects your
device to pc.
After a successful connection to the pc (computer), it
will show on the computer as “detected”.So you can simply scrol to the folder where the file is, and
make use of the control copy and paste command[ to copy=> ctrl+C. and to
paste=> ctrl+V ]
2) NFC (Near Field Communication): This NFC (Near field communication) can only
exchange data between two devices with a distance less than 10 cm apart (it
might be increased latter) meaning that it
is a short ranged communication technology . A
device that has NFC-powered ability will be able to exchange data with another
NFC enabled device.
The functions of
NFC in a device are:
- Can make digital transactions e.g. bills and credit card/debit card payments at a very high security protection.
- Transfer of phone data.
How to go about
it:
- Cut and paste/Copy and paste your files into your internal phone memory then delete the data on the memory card.
- Remove the SD CARD and insert into the device you need a file from;
- copy of all what you need and insert it into your own device.
4) THE INTERNET: With the aid of
good internet connections, upgrade in internet network from
2G to 3G ,not only that we now
have 4G LTE;a super fast internet
network connection ,which makes you surf the internet swiftly and smoothly.
You can also make use of the internet as a medium for file transfer . How? ,through the use of some applications namely :
- Messaging app : such as whatsApp (a widely used social messaging app, download it HERE) , Facebook, email services. Messaging apps can mainly be used for small or light data transfer.
- File sharing sites :
** Dropbox
*** Zippyshare etc.
After uploading the files to any of the above file
sharing site, you then give out your link so that the person that needs it can
download it to the device.
With this method, you can share large file online and
easily get it on your device.
5) The last method i will recommend is “USB Device + OTG” :
OTG means “On The GO”. It is a feature that comes with the most Android phones.
If it also came with your phone then you can connect a USB device or USB flash
drive to the phone using OTG cable.
So, once
connected, all the phones' data can be easily copied to the USB device and there
you go!!!!!!!!!!!!
