Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run File Backup to PC, an app by EastCat, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.
File Backup to PC is a no-frills helper that just moves files from phone to computer without making a big deal about it. Pick a few folders, like photos or downloads, and it quietly copies them over WiFi when both are on the same network. It can run on a schedule or only when asked, so it does not nag or spam with stuff. The whole idea is local backup, no cloud in the middle, which feels safer if someone likes to keep family pics and docs at home. On hotel or cafe WiFi it can switch to an encrypted connection, so sending files in public does not feel risky. There is a simple restore option too if something gets wiped on the phone and needs to come back.
The file rules make sense. If a file changes on the phone, the copy on the PC updates. If the phone version gets deleted, the PC copy stays put unless someone removes it themselves, which is nice for accidents. Edit a file on the computer and the app will keep those edits, then stash a backup of the earlier version next to it. Setup is quick, just install the small companion on the computer, connect to the same WiFi, pick folders, done. It claims no personal data collection and there is no account to mess with, which keeps it simple. Running it through BlueStacks on a PC is surprisingly handy, since the settings and progress are easier to read on a big screen and clicking through folders with a mouse is faster. Nothing fancy here, just set it once and let it do its thing so the phone stays light and the laptop holds the copies.
BlueStacks gives you the much-needed freedom to experience your favorite apps on a bigger screen. Get it now.
