Transferring files from your mobile phone to your computer is a task that has evolved over time, to the point where you don’t even need to use a cable for that. Currently, Spanish users have a large number of options to accomplish this task and, in many cases, it is not even necessary to download new applications.
Nearby Share is one of the fastest methods to transfer photos to your computer, but it comes with some requirements, such as the device must have Bluetooth connectivity. However, thanks to WhatsApp it is possible to make this process even faster.
The web version of the messaging app has a few options for managing attachments, and this can be the key to performing fast file sharing and totally private.
How to send files to a PC
The web version of WhatsApp allows you to use the application from your computer anywhere, as long as there is an Internet connection. This makes very useful to be able to continue using the application while you work on the computer, and it wastes less time. It works both ways, so you can also send files from your computer to your mobile.
In the same way, it has the possibility of sending and receiving attached files, as in the mobile application, and these can be downloaded to the internal memory of the computer. Therefore, the first thing to do to send files with this method is to open the WhatsApp web or download its desktop application. This also allows you to send audio and make video calls.
For this method of sending files we will also have to have a private conversation with ourselves. There are several ways to have one, since it is possible to create a group with another person and then expel them or use the conversation that WhatsApp offers users.
In any case, the method to quickly send files from one device to another is to open this conversation with ourselves and send said files through this chat. Then you just have to open this same conversation from your computer and click on the arrow next to each photo or document to click on the “Save as” button and choose the path in which you want to store it.
Keep in mind that when sending photos, WhatsApp will compress them so that they weigh less when sending, which can be avoided by clicking the “HD” button or sending the photo as if it was a normal file.
