Re: [S67 Public] Digest for sector67@googlegroups.com - 2 updates in 1 topic

[Gretta Wing Miller]

I have never been a ‘paying’ member, but have been on the email list from the beginning (and still have the contact mic that my grandson and I learned to solder at maybe the very first workshop 😃), and I love everything about S67, but this is beyond my comprehension. 

I am all Apple and would send the Word.doc as a msg to myself and open it on my iphon (as it likes to call itself)

You are not seriously saying you can’t do that in the windoze/android world?

Or what am I missing?

Dragging over Word file to Android Cell Phone

charles meyer <reachm...@gmail.com>: Jul 04 11:30AM -0400 My talented listmates,   I've watched several YT videos (most turned out to be incorrect) and chatgpt'd this without success.   If one prefers not to use OneDrive (or other online storage) but wishes to drag over a text file created in Word (Libre Writer, etc.) to your android cell phone to either text out to another as an attachment or to copy/paste into a text message to someone have you found any step-by-step directions which word for you?   This would be for longer text messages.   Thank you!   Charles.

Chris Meyer <wate...@gmail.com>: Jul 04 11:27AM -0500 There's quite a few simple file transfer websites you could give this a try: https://filebin.net/   Upload the file from the computer, open the link on your phone and it should work.     Chris   On Sat, Jul 4, 2026 at 10:49 AM charles meyer <reachm...@gmail.com> wrote:

Apple is definitely a bit of an ecosystem that's cohesive (when it works, on the occasion when it doesn't it can be an equal mess . . .) so things like messages are end to end sorted out for you.  You can totally set up an Android phone to run your messages on a desktop/etc but you have to do it yourself:

so yes, conceptually Charles could set this up on the computer (assuming it wasn't a shared computer, if it is make sure you log out afterwards!) and use this to bridge between his phone and the PC.  There's other approaches as well:

but they all require a little set up leg work on the users side unlike Apple where it's the default and it works (except it wouldn't on a public machine where it would also be locked down)

Howdy there Gretta!

I usually just email it to myself.
