How do I send videos from Windows to another device?

Sending videos from Windows to another device can be done in several different ways, depending on the type of device and how much data needs to be sent. The most common methods for sending video files from a Windows device include emailing the video, connecting the devices through a USB cable or Wi-Fi, syncing the devices via cloud services, and using file sharing services such as Dropbox.

Emailing Videos

In order to send videos through email, the video must first be compressed or converted into a smaller file size. Most videos are very large, so they won’t be able to fit in most email inboxes. You can convert the video into a much smaller file size by using a video converter like Video Compressor. This software can quickly compress any video into a much smaller size while maintaining the quality. Once the video is compressed, you can attach the file to the email, and then enter the recipient’s email address. Make sure you include your own address in the “From” field so the recipient knows who sent them the video.

Connecting Devices via USB

An alternative method of transferring videos from a Windows device to another device is to use a USB cable. Using this method, you can plug the USB cable into both devices and move the video from one device to the other. To do this, you will need to open the “My Computer” window on both devices, and then browse to where the video is stored on the Windows device. Next, drag and drop the video file into the appropriate folder on the receiving device. You can also right click and select “Copy” and then right click in the destination folder on the receiving device and select “Paste” to copy the video.

Connecting Devices via Wi-Fi

A convenient way to transfer video between two devices is to connect them both to the same Wi-Fi network. Once the devices are connected to the same network, you can open an FTP client on both devices to start transferring the video. You can find a list of free FTP clients for both Windows and Mac OS X PCs here, which you can use for the transfer. All you have to do is enter the IP address of the device you want to send the video to and the FTP client will allow you to drag and drop the file from one device to the other.

Syncing Devices via Cloud Services

Another method of sending videos from a Windows device to another device is to use cloud storage services such as Dropbox and Google Drive. These services allow you to store files in the cloud and sync them between multiple devices. To send a video via a cloud service, you will first need to upload the video to the cloud service. Once the video is uploaded, you can share it with the other person, allowing them to access the video from their own device.

Using File Sharing Services

Finally, you can use a file sharing service such as WeTransfer to quickly and easily send large files from one device to another. All you have to do is go to the WeTransfer website and upload the video. Then, enter the email address of the person you would like to send the video to and the link to the file will be emailed to them. The recipient can then click the link and download the video to their device.

Overall, there are many different ways to send videos from a Windows device to another device. Depending on the size of the video and the type of device being used, different methods may be more appropriate than others. By following the methods outlined above, you can easily and quickly send videos between Windows and other devices.
