Phone to computer

Transfer files from phone to PC

Cables are fiddly and cloud uploads are slow. BIShare moves photos, videos, and files straight from your iPhone or Android to any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer — wirelessly over your local Wi-Fi, or with a link the PC opens in any browser. No cable, no cloud round-trip.

Why getting files off your phone is such a hassle

Plug an iPhone into a Windows PC and you only see the camera roll — often after it asks for iTunes. Android over USB likes to drop mid-copy. Emailing yourself hits a 25 MB limit and re-compresses your photos. Cloud apps make you upload everything, then download it all again on the other side. BIShare skips the lot: your files go straight from phone to computer, at full quality, over the network you're already on.

Two ways to get files onto your computer

  • Same Wi-Fi? Send directly

    Pick your computer in BIShare and the files fly straight across, end-to-end encrypted — nothing is stored on a server. It even works over your phone's hotspot when there's no internet at all.

  • Away from your PC?

    BIShare hands you a link, a QR code, and a 6-character code. Open the link in any browser on the computer and download — no app, no account. The link auto-expires after 24 hours.

  • Any phone, any computer

    iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux — one app, every direction. Push files from your phone to your PC, or send from the PC back to any phone.

Transferring files from phone to PC: FAQ

How do I transfer files from my phone to my PC wirelessly?

Install BIShare on your phone. On the same Wi-Fi, open it, pick your computer, and send — the files transfer directly, end-to-end encrypted. If you're not near the PC, share the link BIShare gives you and open it in the computer's browser to download. No cable required either way.

How do I transfer photos from iPhone to a Windows PC without iTunes?

Send them with BIShare instead of plugging in. Over Wi-Fi it copies your photos straight to the PC at full resolution — no iTunes, no "Trust This Computer" dialog, and no 25 MB email limit. HEIC photos come across as-is, and you can grab videos and any other file the same way.

Can I move files from Android to a Mac or Linux computer?

Yes. BIShare treats every platform the same, so Android → Mac and Android → Linux work exactly like Android → Windows. On the same network it's a direct transfer; otherwise use the share link, which opens in any browser on macOS or Linux.

Is there a size limit when sending files from phone to PC?

Nearby transfers over your own Wi-Fi have no size cap — send multi-gigabyte videos if you like. Share links carry files up to 100 GB for free, and the link expires automatically after 24 hours.

Do I need to install anything on the computer?

Not to receive by link — any browser works, with no app or account. For fast, direct nearby transfers, install the free BIShare app on the computer too; it unlocks two-way sending and higher speeds, but it's never required just to download a shared file.
