3 Ways to Transfer Large Files from Windows PC to Android Over Wi-Fi

In general, there are two ways to transfer files from PC to an Android device wirelessly or vice versa: using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is the best option if you want to transfer large files since it has way faster transfer rate than Bluetooth.

Some Android smartphone brands might offer a built-in tool to allow you to transfer files from PC to your Android device via Wi-Fi. If you use a smartphone model that has no such tool, there are some tools you can use out there. Three tools we can recommend are Coolmuster Android Assistant, AnyTrans and DroidTransfer. These tools are paid tools so they might are better suited if you regularly transfer files from PC to Android device.
