How to Transfer Files Using WhatsApp


There are many ways to move files from a smartphone to a computer, or vice versa. Like using the most conventional method, namely Bluetooth. Using a USB cable, up to using a transfer application such as ShareIT . However, each method has its disadvantages. By using Bluetooth, the transfer process can take longer. Therefore, using Bluetooth to send files between devices has begun to be abandoned.


While using a USB cable is not simple. Because using a USB cable there is a possibility of transfer failure if at any time in the middle of the process the cable is accidentally unplugged.

And if you use an application such as ShareIT, not all operating systems can enjoy it. Linux users like me, cannot use ShareIT to transfer files between devices because ShareIT does not provide applications for the linux platform.
