As I pointed out in my last blog post, Telegram gives you unlimited cloud storage for free. Another somewhat uncommon choice could be the messenger app Telegram.

All other major cloud storage solutions including Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive or Box have apps for both Android and iOS, so no problem there.

And even if we ignore the amount of free storage, Google Drive is the better cross-platform choice because it’s also available for iOS while there’s no iCloud app for Android. Apple is a bit more stingy and gives you only 5GB of free iCloud storage. The good thing is that no matter what mobile platform you are on, you already have some free cloud storage at your fingertips: Google gives you 15GB of free cloud storage on Google Drive and unless you are rocking a very recent Huawei phone, using an Android device basically means you already have a Google account and Google Drive pre-installed on your phone. You can upload files to a cloud server and access/download them from anywhere, anywhere with an internet connection that is. I’m sure most of us are pretty familiar with some kind of cloud storage service: Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, Microsoft OneDrive, Box etc. You will need an active internet connection for the first three options, you won’t need one for the fourth. There are basically four different ways: cloud, temp cloud, device-to-device with internet and device-to-device without internet. Don’t despair though, you do have options depending on what kind of transfer method you prefer. Things get a bit more complicated however if you want to transfer files between the two platforms.

Of course, nowadays, we want everything to be wireless if possible.īoth major mobile platforms, Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android include the option to wirelessly transfer files to another (nearby) device running the same operating system, using Bluetooth for the devices to find and connect to each other and a WiFi protocol for the actual transfer – no internet connection required! Apple provides the easier and more straight-forward way with its AirDrop feature baked right into the OS while Google requires you (and the receiver) to install its Files by Google app (they also seem to be working on an AirDrop equivalent called “Nearby Sharing” that could launch with the next official version of Android, Android 11). You might be shooting on a phone but want to edit on a tablet with a larger screen, someone else could be the one editing your captured footage or you want to receive footage from another person to incorporate into your phone edit.
Depending on the situation however, there’s still a certain need for file transfer solutions. One of the most fascinating and convenient things about a good modern smartphone is that it lets you do a whole video production workflow involving capturing, editing and publishing on a single device, thereby offering the opportunity to eliminate the tedious but usually mandatory process of having to transfer media files between several devices to get all this done.
