If you have one Windows PC and Android phoneYou probably want them to meet. The good news is that even though Android doesn't have typiosis with Windows so much with the iPhone with the Mac, in recent times there has been a lot of improvement in this regard.
An important part of Android integration on Windows is the opposite of your phone's operating system, though there are some apps and configurations you can accomplish. to make Windows and Android better compatible.
Connect the phone to PC
Basically there are two ways to connect the phone to a PC: using a USB cable and using Bluetooth. Wire connection is not very scientific: connect the mobile cable to the USB port available on PC and on a second Windows will let you know that there is a new device.
Wired connection
Connecting a Windows phone to a Windows PC via cable is very easy. You do not need to download or install any special drivers or programs, because Windows is already compatible with most of the current phones. Only thing to choose USB connection mode. Options can change from one cell phone to another, but you will usually find:
-
Transfer photos or PTP. It's a way that will treat your phone like a digital photo camera. It usually does not give you an advantage with regard to MTP, so its use is indicated in case this does not work for you.
-
Transfer files or MTP. MTP is the most common form of communication, and will generally be the one used automatically when the cell phone is connected. MTP will show you folders of your mobile phone – whether they have pictures or not – and you can view the internal memory and memory card separately.
-
Only upload. This mode only uses connection to charge a mobile phone and you cannot access mobile data. Conversely, charging is faster than other alternatives.
Alternatively, check folders and mobile files much like other Windows folders. You can add each folder, view the files, copy, move and delete them. The only difference is you'll find that it is a bit slow and can be locked if the cable doesn't have bad quality or the phone is just too fast.
Bluetooth connection
It is also possible to connect the phone to a PC via Bluetooth in case you do not have a cable. For this to be the mobile you must have Bluetooth on and off (To make it visible, the easiest thing to do is search from your mobile phone). On Windows you can search for Bluetooth devices from Settings> Devices> Install Bluetooth or another service.
Bluetooth connectivity will not allow you to access the phone files themselves – unless you use another program – but you can transfer files from PC to mobile and mobile to PC. To send files from PC to mobile, right-click and select Send to Bluetooth devices.
Because transfer files from mobile to PC With Bluetooth, you should do the same thing: using the Android share menu, select Bluetooth and tap the PC name. It's slower than cable, but useful when you don't have a cable in hand.
Your Phone: best friend but not the only one
A structured way of communicating between mobile and PC through an app that acts as a bridge. Since the beginning of Android, many developers have made their own application, though Microsoft is now installing its own with Windows. It's about Your phone, an app available for both Windows 10 and Android.
Your phone does not stop getting jobs, and the last one to come may be make and answer calls from a PC. You can also check the latest photos on your mobile phone, see Android notifications and check and respond to SMS messages from Windows.
The good thing about your phone is that it is not connected to any kind of product, even if your phone has one Windows companion app, this app may work better and have other functions. Here are some Windows compatible apps for different products:
These apps are more than just allowing you to view your photos and SMS from a PC, and you can also usually manage apps or view and manage mobile from PC streaming screen streaming.
Aside from formal applications, there are also third-party apps that close Android and Windows, being the most popular AirDroid, though not the only one. These are the best apps for better integrating Android and Windows:
Google Touch on Windows
Android is closely associated with Google services, so your contacts, calendar, photos and many other details are stored in your account. A great way to have this information on Windows and Android is always synced to add a Google account to Windows.
To do this you must go to Windows Settings and enter a section Accounts> Email and accounts and then click Add an account. Select Google from the list and enter your username and password.
This way, you can see your Google Calendar events in the Calendar app, your Gmail in the mail app and contacts in the contacts program. Changes you make to your mobile phone will be reflected in Windows, and vice versa.
Syncing to other programs
Some programs will allow you to move from mobile to PC to PC easily, thanks to sync on both platforms. It is a form of Sticky notes or quick notes, which you can download in Windows and sync in One Note for Android so you can check and convert them from your phone.
The same thing happens with browsers. Both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome will allow sending web pages from mobile to PC and PC to mobile to keep up with what you were learning on another platform. If you want to keep up a bit, there are third-party apps for syncing the Windows clipboard with Android one.
File sync from Windows
One way for Windows and Android to come together better is to keep files synced from PC to mobile. Or, more specifically, from a PC to a service cloud with an Android app, like Google with Google Drive.
In Google, the program is called Google Backup & Sync and you can download it from here. The app will automatically upload files to Google Drive and photos from the folders you specify in Google Photos. If you choose other services, you can do the same with OneDrive, DropBox and the like.
