Features & Capabilities

Transfer Companion is a powerful Chrome extension designed to work hand-in-hand with the PC application Droid Transfer (paid). It enables users to export Android phone text messages, call logs, photos, music, contacts, and calendars directly to their PC. Messages can be saved in PDF, HTML, or text formats complete with timestamps, making it easy to print or archive conversations.

All data transfers are executed via local Wi-Fi or USB connections, ensuring complete privacy with no uploads to the cloud or third-party servers. Users can back up and restore messages, sync their iTunes music libraries, manage photos efficiently, and export contacts to popular formats compatible with Windows Contacts, Microsoft Outlook, or other address book applications. Transfer Companion simplifies mobile data management, providing secure, flexible, and fast transfers between Android devices and PCs.

*Good app, I managed to use it to sync music in my old iTunes library to my new phone. Since switching from iPhone to Android, I thought that my purchased music on iTunes was lost. I'm happy to have it on my phone again. *

I found this app easy to use, the WiFi connection was easy to setup and copy files from my phone to my PC. I can see myself using this app a lot. I've only tried the file transfers for now, I'll be saving my photos to my PC next, much easier now I can do this over WiFi.

Useful app, you need the Android companion app and the PC software to get exports of text messages. The PDF format worked well for me, it is laid out perfectly, with dates and time stamps of when each message in the conversation was sent and received.
