Send from phone to computer

Bring a photo, downloaded document or short note from your phone to your desktop without emailing it to yourself.

How it works

  1. On your phone, open DeviceTo, choose Send and select text or files.
  2. For direct mode, open Receive on the computer and enter the displayed code. Check the verification code on both devices before approving.
  3. Keep the phone awake until complete, then copy the text or download the file on the computer. For temporary cloud mode, use the complete private link.

Direct transfer

Both pages must stay online for a direct WebRTC transfer. Some networks block the connection; a shared Wi-Fi network is not a guarantee.

Temporary cloud

Temporary cloud mode uploads encrypted content to Cloudflare R2. Use the complete private link on the receiving device before expiry.

Privacy

Treat the complete link and separate access key like a password. Share only with your intended recipient. Deleting a transfer cannot remove copies already downloaded.

Questions and answers

Where will my phone photos appear?

They arrive as downloadable files. Your browser decides the save location; they are not automatically added to a photo library.
