How to wirelessly transfer your files between your devices?

One thing is for sure, we always have to send one or more files from our computer to our mobile device at one time or another and vice versa. The simplest solution is to use the USB cable that came with your device and connect it to your PC, but what if you don’t have a cable handy? Or if you just don’t want to use a cable?

There are several solutions and today I will tell you how to use one of them. That solution is BitTorrent Sync, a software bundled with an app that lets you send your files directly from your PC to your mobile device and vice versa.

The advantage of this solution is that it does not require a cloud account, does not require a USB cable, and is secure. No one can see your files except you and those you have authorized.
