- Charging: Mode for charging only, without connecting the phone to the computer.

Method 2: Connecting Your Phone to a Computer via Bluetooth
Connecting using Bluetooth is a fairly common method for older phones. Although connecting via WiFi is more convenient nowadays, there are still some cases where you might use this method.
Step 1: Swipe down the Notification panel and select the Bluetooth icon.
Step 1: Once the app is downloaded, open it. Upon installing AirDroid, you'll find an IP address and a website to access. It's recommended to use the IP address (in this example, the address is 192.168.1.69:8888) instead of the website, as using the website requires registration and login to AirDroid's system.
Step 2: As soon as you enter the address in your browser, immediately unlock your phone.
Step 3: Confirm the phone-to-computer connection within 30 seconds by pressing Accept.
Step 4: Instantly, your computer screen will display the interface for connecting your phone. You can now freely transfer data between the two.
Additionally, we can access more detailed information on the phone.
Method 4: Connecting your phone to a computer using storage software.
Utilizing storage software or, more precisely, data storage services, is also an effective method. It not only connects your phone to the computer but also enables connectivity wherever you need.
There are numerous services available to swiftly store data, such as Google Drive, which is a prime example. It's one of the best-supported applications you can find and use. To understand how to use Google Drive effectively, readers can refer to the article on how to use Google Drive on mobile phones, including Android and iPhones, to learn about data connection methods.
