Got files on your Android that need to be on your Windows PC? In 2026, this should take seconds. Instead, you’re stuck choosing between tangled cables, sketchy apps, or Microsoft’s password reset loop.
Let’s talk about the common options and why they all suck:
Link to Windows: Install the app, remember your Microsoft account password (good luck), reset your password because you forgot it, give Microsoft permission to control your phone, and then hope it works. It’s 2026 and this still feels like pulling teeth.
USB Cable: Sure, if you happen to have a USB-A to USB-C cable that supports data transfer lying around. Most people don’t, and even if you do, navigating through folders to find that one photo is painful.
Email: Works great! As long as your file is under 10MB and you enjoy the experience of emailing yourself.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. That’s why I built SpeedyShare.app.
How It Works
I designed SpeedyShare with one goal: remove all the friction from file sharing. If you want to send a photo from your Pixel to your Windows laptop, it should take seconds, not minutes.
Here’s the whole process:
- Open SpeedyShare on your Windows PC - a QR code appears instantly
- Scan the QR code with your Android phone (or enter the 6-digit code)
That’s it. Start sending files in less than 10 seconds.
Why This Works
No friction. No sign-ups, no apps to download, no cables to dig out of that drawer (we all have one). Everything runs in your browser.
Fast. Files upload to secure cloud storage and are instantly available on both devices. No compression, so your photos stay crisp.
Private. Share sessions last 30 minutes, then everything is automatically deleted. Your files are only accessible to people with your unique code.
Cross-platform. It works on any device with a browser. Android to Windows, iPhone to Mac, whatever combination you need. (Using a Mac instead? Check out my guide on how to send files from Android to Mac.)
No limits that matter. Upload files up to 2GB each with no total upload limit. Send as many files as you want in one session.
The Technical Details
Both devices don’t need to be on the same WiFi network - as long as they have internet access, you’re good to go. You can send any file type: photos, videos, documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, whatever. SpeedyShare doesn’t compress anything, so files arrive exactly as you sent them.
