Send Anywhere is one of the best Wi-Fi file-sharing options for sending files from iOS to Windows PC. Instead of trying to do ten different things, it focuses on the one thing that matters the most.

5. Cloud Storage
A lot of people use cloud storage services because they are more suitable for sending files from iOS to PC in certain situations. For example, you can use Dropbox or Google Drive to upload any file type, and it will sync on all connected devices immediately. That allows you to make changes to the file in question and keep everyone in the loop using file permissions. You can use OneDrive to store files inside a vault so that it is encrypted and not accessible or even visible to any other Windows PC user. You can use Google Photos to back up photos automatically. There are many cloud storage service providers, and they each have something unique to offer. Using one to save files will not only eliminate the need to transfer files via Wi-Fi but also allow you to do much more.
