Hi guys!
Recently, I incountered situations that I needed to send a piece of text to someone through my phone. However, the text was on my PC, and because of this, I couldn'd transfer the text from my PC to my iPhone. So I used a word document instead, but that also took some time.
So, are there any apps that would allow for the iPhone and PC to "communicate" with each other? I paste a text into the computer, and then the phone gets it, and I can use on the phone?
Are there such apps out there?
Many thanks!

Microsoft version of Universal Clipboard
Admittedly, I have not tried this, but you might look into this:
https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2017/5/11/15616480/microsoft-windows-10-cloud-clipboard-feature
On the appStore search for Swiftkey for more info on the iOS app.
Also, if you would please let us know what you think if you try it out, that could be helpful for others.
Hope this helps.
I searched, but
I searched and found "SwiftKey Keyboard" on the AppStore, but I found that this app is mainly a typing keyboard, not a copy-and-paste tool that works on cross-platform. As for Microsoft's service, I'm concerned about privacy when it comes to the cloud. Well, I guess maybe in the future I need to learn how to use a Mac, so that I can take advantage of the universal clipboard feature. :)
But still, hanks for your help!
What I use
I use the Dropbox on-line storage service to move files between my PC, Linux and iPhone all the time. Just put the text in a file and move it to the Dropbox folder and it syncs to the Dropbox app on the phone or the other way around. I use the Google Drive the same way and Windows has an on-line drive too, if you have a MS account.
Oops, just saw the comment about Microsoft, strike the MS account.
If I wasn't clear
The link was to an article that was not completely about the app.
I would agree with either, yeah get a mac, or dropbox or something similar.
I got rid of my last Windows machine about a month ago. Ahhhh...
