Need to save Android messages or photos on a Windows PC, or print a conversation? Droid Transfer connects a phone to the PC over USB or local Wi-Fi and lets you choose which content to transfer or export.
Droid Transfer exports messages with their attachments
Droid Transfer displays messages from the phone’s default messaging app, including apps such as Google Messages and Samsung Messages. Select conversations to save them on the PC as PDF, HTML, CSV, or plain text. Message timestamps and attached photos, emojis, and videos can be included in the saved conversation.
The PC app can also print SMS and MMS conversations. This gives users a paper copy of a thread without first exporting it to another document tool.
USB and local Wi-Fi connect the phone to the PC
Droid Transfer works with the Transfer Companion app on the Android phone. After installing the companion app, connect the devices with a USB cable or over the same local Wi-Fi network. The PC interface provides access to the phone content that Droid Transfer supports.
- Choose photos and videos to copy, add, delete, or export.
- Move music between the phone and PC, including music synced with iTunes.
- Transfer files over USB or Wi-Fi.
Contacts, calendars, and call history have separate tools
Droid Transfer can copy, back up, and restore contacts, and it can display calendars and copy them to the Windows PC. Call history can be saved in HTML, PDF, or CSV format, or printed. These options let users keep selected records on the computer alongside transferred media and files.
