Another way to create a backup of the files stored on your Android device is by connecting it to a Windows PC or Mac. Those using a Windows laptop or a desktop can use a beta app for Windows called Nearby Share to wirelessly connect their Windows PC and Android phone for file transfers. Using Nearby Share is different from using OneDrive because this is designed to send files over a wireless connection to nearby devices only, whereas OneDrive is a cloud solution that doesn't need the devices to be close to each other or on the same wireless network.
