Store Smartphone files, photos, SMS messages, etc on your Tablet or PC.

Why get a new smartphone when it may only be a matter of clearing and transferring files to your tablet, laptop, or PC.

Backup and storing photos, Chat\SMS messages are great for historical documentation and paper trail.

To connect your smartphone to your Windows PC, use the native Phone Link app on Windows to sync your Android device or iPhone.

This allows you to

·       make calls, and
·       view photos right from your computer.

How to Connect Your Smartphone

1. Prepare your Windows PC
·       Open the Phone Link app (search for it in your Windows taskbar).
·       Select whether you are pairing an Android or an iPhone.
·       A QR code will appear on your computer screen
 
2. Prepare your Smartphone
