Why Traditional Phone-to-PC Methods Are Frustrating
Moving files between mobile devices and desktop operating systems has traditionally required dealing with multiple obstacles:
- Missing or Incompatible USB Cables: Modern phones use USB-C or Lightning cables that often require adapters to plug into older desktop PCs or school computers.
- Email Attachment Limits: Email services (like Gmail and Outlook) reject files over 25 MB and clutter your inbox with unnecessary drafts.
- Cloud Storage Sync Delays: Services like Google Drive, OneDrive, and iCloud require signing into your personal account, remembering passwords, and waiting for slow two-way syncs.
- Operating System Ecosystem Locks: Apple's AirDrop only works with Mac, while Microsoft Nearby Share and Android Quick Share lack universal cross-compatibility.
Sendz eliminates every one of these barriers by running directly inside the web browser.

Frequently Asked Questions About Phone-to-PC Transfers
Can I transfer photos from an iPhone to a Windows PC without iTunes?
Yes! Simply open sendz.in on your iPhone Safari, select the photos you want to transfer, and enter the generated 6-digit code on your Windows PC browser. No iTunes, cables, or iCloud logins required.
Do both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi network?
No. Because Sendz connects via modern web protocols, your phone can be on cellular data (5G/4G) while your PC is connected via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Are there file size limits when transferring from mobile?
For Cloud transfers, you can upload batches up to 100MB. If you need to transfer large video files (1GB, 5GB, 10GB+), select the 'Send Large Files' tab on your phone for direct P2P streaming with no file size limits.
How do I ensure my private photos aren't stored online permanently?
Sendz strictly enforces a 12-hour auto-expiration policy for cloud uploads, and search engines are blocked from indexing transfer links. For complete zero-storage privacy, use Direct P2P mode.
