Pocka / Phone to PC
Transfer files from phone to PC. Pick the easy route.
To transfer files from a phone to a computer, the right route depends on three things: your phone, the size of the file, and whether the PC is nearby.
Which phone to PC route fits?
| Your situation | Use |
|---|---|
| One file, image or note under 10 MB — any phone | Pocka in the browser |
| Android phone next to a Windows PC | Quick Share |
| Hundreds of photos or long videos | USB cable — Android or iPhone |
| A file you want to keep for months | A cloud drive |
