Method 1: USB cable
 The simplest solution for sharing files between a computer and a phone is to use a USB cable. 
Just connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable, select the file transfer mode on your phone, and transfer the desired files between the two devices. 
This method is fast and efficient, but it requires the two devices to be physically connected to each other.

Method 2: Cloud storage
 Another common method for sharing files between a computer and a phone is to use a cloud storage service. 
There are many popular cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, etc., which allow you to store and share files online. 
Just download the corresponding app on your computer and phone, log in to your account, and transfer the desired files. 
But be careful, these services usually store your files on online servers, which can pose security and privacy risks. It is also possible that your files will be used for advertising purposes to target ads.

Method 3: Using a file sharing app
There are dedicated apps for sharing files between a computer and a phone, such as Xender, ShareIt, etc. 
These apps use Wi-Fi to transfer files between devices. It's fast and easy, but it can be a bit unstable if your Wi-Fi is not top-notch.
And they don’t allow to do it remotely, so it’s not a 100% reliable method.

Method 4: Using a local network
You can also share files between a computer and a phone by creating a personal network and connecting your devices to it. 
But it can be a bit complicated to set up if you are not too computer savvy.

Method 5: Using a messaging service
 It is possible to share files between a computer and a phone by using a messaging service such as WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. 
It's convenient, but files can be large or sensitive and services generally have file size limits.
And when it comes to pictures, their quality is often reduced to reduce storage costs.

But be careful, these services usually store your files on online servers, which can pose security and privacy risks. It is also possible that your files will be used for advertising purposes to target ads.
