Step-by-step guide
PDF from your phone to your laptop. No email, no WhatsApp.
You have a PDF on your phone and need it on your work laptop fast. Emailing it to yourself adds an unnecessary bounce through a mail server. Sending via WhatsApp compresses the file. This guide moves the PDF directly from your phone's browser to your laptop's browser, untouched, in about a minute.
