Extension: Ways for Transferring Data from iPhone to Samsung Phone

For those who would like to know if there is a way to transfer data from iPhone to Samsung phone directly, this extension part is worthy of noting.

Firstly, you can stick to Leawo iTansfer, and this time you need to connect your iPhone and Samsung phone to one PC at a time. The method is the same as that in part 1. However, you need to keep this in mind: you could only transfer data and files not purchased from iTunes Store to Samsung phones with this iPhone transfer software. Contents purchased from iTunes Store won't be transferred, since they are DRM protected.

Secondly, you can use email to back up iPhone data to Samsung Phone. Email is the original cloud service. Your files are attached and sent to anyone, anywhere, for free. The limiting factor here is the size of the file attachment, usually between 15-25 MB.

The third option that I talk about here is Dropbox. Dropbox offers 2 GB for free and a handy iOS/Android application that makes it simple to keep your files on the cloud and available to anyone you may wish to have them.

The last way to transfer data from iPhone to Samsung phones is to adopt some kind of Android data transfer app that could transfer data from computer to Samsung devices after you've synced iPhone data to computer with iTunes. Also, DRM protected contents won't be transferred in this way.

Actually, there are many other ways for you to transfer data from iPhone to Samsung Phone. These 4 ways mentioned above are my favorite. You don't have to choose one from these three. You can use other one that best suits your need.
