WhatsApp is an application that we can take advantage of, when it comes to communicating with friends, family or colleagues. Or we can give you many other functions, which will allow us to make the best use of the application. Among them are possible Use the app as a personal cloud.
This will allow us send us messages and files on the application, in order to keep them always safe, in addition to being able to download or transfer them to a computer, thanks to the WhatApp Web site. One way is to use the popular messaging system in a different way.
WhatsApp turns 10: How you changed this time
10 years ago WhatsApp was introduced in the App Store in stable. How has the popular messaging app changed over this period?
Create a conversation with you on WhatsApp
To use WhatsApp as a personal cloudThe first thing to do is to chat with us in the messaging app. It will be in this discussion where we will send the files we always want. There are several ways to do it, though one of them is quite simple:
- Open your Android phone browser.
- Enter the following URL in the address bar: wa.me/34TUNUMERO (enter your phone number TUNUMERO). The country code may vary depending on your country, so use your own.
- Press to go.
- In the window from WhatsApp, click the send button.
- Send a message for the conversation to leave the app.
With these steps, we are already building a conversation with us in the app. If we want to prevent this conversation from being lost among others, we can fix it, for the first time an application appears upon entry. To do this, on the main screen of WhatsApp, we press and hold on the dialog and click the pushpin icon, so that it is already fixed.
Sign in to the WhatsApp Web
In the next step, in order to transfer files between mobile and computer, one of the most interesting functions we can use when using this method, will be log into the WhatsApp Web
- Open the web version of this link.
- Open WhatsApp on your Android phone.
- Click on the top three points.
- Select the WindowsApp Web option.
- Scan the QR code on your computer screen and mobile phone.
- Wait for the account to sync.
After a few seconds you will have all your conversations on the computer screen. You will be able to send regular messages using this version of the app, as long as your phone has Internet access and you have an application running there. Otherwise it would not be possible to have such a synchronization between the two versions.
Use your chat to send files
In between the conversations that appear on the screen we get our own private conversation, which we created in the first step. From now on which we can use to export files, be it photos or documents, between a computer and a phone. This works great, although you should be aware of the weight of these files, because WhatsApp has more limitations than Telegrams, which we can use for the same purpose, as we have already shown.
When sending photos or files to this conversation, you should access from device where you want to download and save them, without any problems in this case. A very free option, which will allow you to have your own cloud where you can save or export all file types using WhatsApp.
