I found the easiest way to transfer files between Android and Windows

Quick Share on Android showing available devices.

I've tried several methods to move data between my phone and Windows PC over the years. I initially relied on Pushbullet, but when most of the features of that utility went behind a paid tier, I switched to a alternatives that didn't prove to be anywhere as good.

These days, I just use a NAS. Most of my data is stored on the DiskStation DS1823xs+, and whenever there's a file I on my phone that I need on my PC, I just upload it to the NAS, and then download it to my PC. If you don't want to bother with a NAS, a utility like Syncthing does a great job syncing folders between your phone and Windows. But there's a much better alternative: Quick Share.
