Transfer files from Android to PC.
Move photos, documents and other files from your Android phone to a Windows PC without a USB cable or complicated setup.
Open pendrive.zip on your phone. Drop the file. Open the same room on your PC.
100,000+ easy transfers already.
From one device to another.
No cables. No complicated setup.
Android to PC in three steps.
- 1Open pendrive.zip in your phone's browser.
- 2Upload the file to your temporary room.
- 3Open the room on your PC and download it.
No USB cable required.
For a simple file transfer, you don't need to physically connect the phone to the PC.
Both devices just use their browser: the phone uploads to your temporary room, and the PC downloads from it.
For offline or very large transfers, a USB connection may be the better choice.
- USB cable
- USB drive
- Windows shared folder
- Phone-to-PC pairing
Nothing to install for a basic transfer.
You don't need to install matching transfer software on both devices. Use a supported browser on your Android phone and a browser on your Windows PC — and you don't need a pendrive.zip account for the basic workflow.
No pairing. No device discovery.
The phone and PC don't need to find or pair with each other. There's no local device discovery at all.
That's especially useful when local-device discovery is inconvenient or unavailable — the room address and PIN are all the PC needs.
- Phone uploads to the temporary room
- PC opens the room address + PIN
- Download
They don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi.
Because pendrive.zip uses a temporary online room rather than a local connection, your Android phone and PC can use different internet connections. The phone can be on mobile data while the PC is connected to home or office Wi-Fi.
Your PC doesn't have to be ready yet.
Upload the file from your Android phone now, and open the room from your PC later — while the file is still within its retention period.
The sender and receiver don't need to be online at the same time. Upload a document from your phone while you're away from your computer, and download it when you get back to your PC.
Used for real work. Every day.
From trading desks to client work, pendrive.zip keeps everyday file transfers simple.
“I run trading systems on multiple VPS machines, and pendrive.zip has become the quickest way to move files between them. I just drop a file on one machine and pick it up on another. No email, no cloud-drive folders, no hassle.”

“Clients always find a way to make file sharing complicated. With pendrive.zip I can just give them one address and a PIN. They open it, drop the files in, and I'm done.”

“I use pendrive.zip when I need to get photos to a client quickly. I send them my link and PIN, upload the files, and they can download everything without creating an account or figuring out another app.”

If your phone's browser can select the file for upload and it fits within the current pendrive.zip limits, it can be transferred. pendrive.zip doesn't convert formats — the file arrives exactly as it was uploaded.

Questions
How do I transfer files from Android to PC?
Open pendrive.zip in your Android phone's browser, choose a room name and PIN, and drop the file. On your PC, open the same room address, enter the PIN and download the file.
Can I transfer files from Android to PC without USB?
Yes. The file is uploaded from your phone to your temporary pendrive.zip room and downloaded from there on the PC. No cable or drive is needed.
Can I transfer files from Android to PC without installing an app?
Yes. The basic transfer works in a supported browser on the phone and a browser on the PC, and you don't need an account to start.
Do my Android phone and PC need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
No. The file goes through a temporary online room, not a local connection. Your phone can be on mobile data while your PC is on home or office Wi-Fi — each device only needs internet access, the room address and the PIN.
Do my phone and PC need to be online at the same time?
No. The file stays in the room until it expires, so you can upload from your phone now and download on your PC later — as long as it's still within its retention time.
Can I transfer photos from Android to PC?
Yes. Photos, screenshots, PDFs, documents and other files all work the same way: upload from the phone's browser, download on the PC.
Can I transfer files from PC back to Android?
Yes. Drop the file into your room from the PC's browser, then open the room on your Android phone, enter the PIN and download it.
What types of files can I transfer?
Photos, screenshots, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, ZIP files, downloaded files and more — if your phone's browser can select the file for upload and it fits within the current limits, it can be transferred.
How large can the files be?
Without an account and on Free, files can be up to 10 MB each. Premium plans have no separate per-file limit; the available storage in your plan is the effective limit.
How long do the files stay available?
Without an account, files are deleted after 10 minutes by default; the uploader can keep them for up to 1 hour. Free accounts can keep files for up to 1 hour, and Premium users for up to 1 week.
How is this different from nearby-transfer tools such as Quick Share?
Quick Share is designed for nearby device sharing with the required setup available. pendrive.zip uses a different workflow: browser-based, through a temporary online room, with no local device discovery, no same-Wi-Fi requirement, and no need for both devices to be online at the same time.
