Final Words

As I just made the list of 5 apps, a few goods apps are also not on the list. SHAREit (Banned in India) is also one of the good apps that let you transfer files from Android to desktop without limiting to slow speed. But the recent update on the SHAREit app has started showing videos and video notifications now irritate a lot of people. You can use any of these apps to quickly transfer files from mobile to PC without losing the quality.

Other ways of transferring files from PC to mobile phones include share to email share to chat or use Bluetooth. I personally use WhatsApp to share a file from PC to desktop. I have a secondary WhatsApp account just for this. I open the WhatsApp desktop and send the file to that WhatsApp account. Then I download the file on the mobile phone. Same to transfer file from mobile phone to desktop.
