A Faster Way to Transfer Files Between Computers

Looking for an easy way to transfer files from one PC to another? The j5create Wormhole Cable makes this easier.

Are you looking for a faster way to transfer files between computers?  Forget the thumb drive, SD card, or even worse, emailing files.  There’s an easier way!

The j5create wormhole switch DSS DVM Swap & File Transfer Cable makes the ability to transfer files a snap!

As someone who tests tons of phones, tablets, laptops, and PCs, I love how easy it is with Google Chrome to bring over your favorited website bookmarks.

Just sign in and you’re ready to go…it’s simple because your info. is in the cloud.

But it’s not so easy to transfer files from your PC, especially if you have a lot of it. 

I do use Google Files and Dropbox, but my account storage on these cloud drive is not big enough to pay for all the data I have on my home computer.

In the past, I have used a WD My Passport and other external hard drives in the past to transfer files.

The external hard drive was super helpful.  But I still needed to ensure that I had a monitor, mouse, and keyboard set up for both computers to transfer the data.

Set up space for both computers while I transferred files was not easy. 

Besides the fact that I have over 20k pictures, so I would need to transfer files to the external data and go back several times.

But I found a better way!

The j5create Wormhole Switch DSS DVM Cable

jcreate offers a number of different wormhole switch cables, dependent upon your needs.

I tried out the JUC700 Wormhole Switch so I could transfer data from one Windows PC to another.

After downloading the software on both computers, you can invoke the wormhole to either mirror one screen on the other PC or extend the screen of one PC to the other.

Obviously, you would need both displays of both PCs plugged in to extend your screen.  

Extending allows you to use one screen for your work and the other screen for watching email, the stock market, and do Internet searching, etc..  

Transfer Files Between Computers

As mentioned above, it takes me a while before I transfer files from my old computer to my new one.  

It takes time to move all the files and I just don’t make the time for it. 

Yet, I get frustrated because my old computer is slow.  I want to use the new one but all my files are on the old one!

The j5create wormhole switch can actually help me with this situation in two ways:

1.  Use Two Computers Simultaneously and Efficiently.  I can plug the cable into both computers and use my main mouse and keyboard to control both computers.  Of course, I would need both displays for this.

This means, I could use my old computer for its files but my new computer for heavy processing and Internet searching (which I typically have 30 tabs open).

It also means that I could store my computer below my desk and not need to access it NOR need to have two keyboards and two mice on my desk to control 2 computers like I have done in the past.  It’s much more cleaned up!

     2.  Easily Transfer Files to the New Computer with Less Hassle.  

Again, without needing to set up my new computer, keyboard, mouse, and monitor next to my old computer, I can use the j5create Wormhole Cable to easily transfer files to the new PC.

I placed my new PC next to my old one under the desk and connect them with the j5create wormhole cable.

I LOVE the fact that I don’t need to use 2 monitors/keyboards/mice to do this!  

Although both of my PCs use the same Windows OS version, the wormhold cable can even work with two different Windows OS systems.

A Mom’s Perspective

It’s common these days to have 2 monitors hooked up to one computer…to create an extended screen.

Although you can do this using the j5create Wormhole Switch, it’s attached to two computers, so there are cheaper methods to hook up one PC to two screens.

The j5create Wormhole Switch is best used when you would like to…

1. Work with two computers but want to use only one keyboard and mouse (and possibly screen).
2. Transfer files from one computer to another.
3. Use two screens to extend your desktop space.
4. Mirror your laptop to a bigger (or another) PC screen.

The main reason to get a j5create wormhole cable is to easily transfer files to another computer but, as you can see, there’s more you can do with it.

j5create makes a lot of helpful tools to make working from home easier. 

Next month we will review their USB-C Triple Display Docking Station which makes it easier to plug in peripherals and accessories not available on your laptop.
