I need to get large amounts of files from my desktop computer to my notebook, how do I do it?

Question

Is there some sort of cord? I can't use a flash drive because it's over 2gigs and thats the biggest drive I have, and I cant use email because of the size. I'm pretty good with computer terms, so no need to dumb down your answer.

Answer 1

you have a couple options options. buy a cheap low capacity external harddrive, (less than $40 for somethign worth while)

-or-

most stores like walmart sell a cable that is a USB plug on both sides and you just plug it into both. i think its less than $10

-or-
burn them to DVD.

Answer 2

I recommend two options: Use a router and add both computers to the same group and share files. The router may be wireless or not, doesn't matter as long as you have enough wires.
Use a crossed-over wire, you can plug a computer opposite to the other and share files directly without any router.

Answer 3

Do you have a network at home (like a router for internet), why not create a share and copy all the files over the local network.

Answer 4

You could use an Ethernet cable to make a connection between the two.

Answer 5

you should create a computer network that would connect both coputers. try to search more about computer networking.
you would usually need a router and some cables and some jacks.

Answer 6

I think Belkin has a "transfer cable" for about $15.

Answer 7

If you already have a Ipod Video you can use that as an external harddrive as well...to save money.

Answer 8

if ur desktop and laptop has ethernet port then use a cross lan cable.

Answer 9

The best way is network connection. if u don't have use USB hard disk to copy it.

Answer 10

you could burn it to a DVD
