The traditional method of transferring data from an Android phone to a computer is by using a USB cable. This method only requires a data cable and offers moderate transfer speeds. However, it supports limited data types - mainly media files such as photos, videos, and music. If you only want to transfer media files, like photos, to your computer, follow the steps below:
Step 1. Use the original or a high-quality USB cable to connect your OnePlus phone to your computer.
Step 2. On your phone, pull down the notification panel and select the USB option (e.g., "File Transfer" or "MTP mode").
Step 3. Your computer will automatically detect the device (Windows may require drivers; Mac users need to install the Android File Transfer tool).
Step 4. Open the phone's storage via your computer's file manager. You can drag and drop files directly or use copy and paste to transfer them.
If you don't have a USB cable but still want to transfer data from your OnePlus to your PC, don't worry. You can use cloud storage services like Google Drive. Simply sign in to the same account on both your phone and computer, and you'll be able to sync files easily. However, keep in mind that free storage is limited (Google Drive offers only 15GB for free), and the transfer process heavily depends on a stable internet connection.
How to do it:
Step 1. Open the Google Drive app on your OnePlus phone.
Step 2. Tap the "+" icon to upload photos, videos, documents, or other files.
Step 3. On your PC, go to drive.google.com and log in with the same Google account.
Step 4. Download the files to your computer if needed.
If you're using a Windows 10/11 PC, the Microsoft Phone Link app (formerly "Your Phone") offers a seamless way to sync your OnePlus device wirelessly.
How to sync OnePlus to PC with Phone Link?
Step 1. On your PC, open the Phone Link app.
Step 2. On your OnePlus phone, install the Link to Windows app if it's not pre-installed.
Step 3. Sign in with the same Microsoft account on both devices and pair them via QR code or Bluetooth.
Step 4. Once connected, you can access your phone's notifications, messages, photos, and even make calls from your PC.
Syncing your OnePlus to a PC doesn't have to be complicated. Whether you prefer using a professional data management tool like Coolmuster Android Assistant, a simple USB cable, cloud storage, or Microsoft's native Phone Link app, there's a method that suits your needs.
For the most comprehensive and reliable backup, we recommend using Coolmuster Android Assistant - especially if you need to sync contacts, messages, call logs, and apps with ease.
