  1. Using WhatsApp Web:

    • First, open the WhatsApp application on your phone and navigate to 'Settings' > 'Linked Devices'.

    • Alternatively, if WhatsApp Web is not convenient for you, you can use email as an intermediary step.
    • Open your email client and compose a new email.
    • Attach the document from your computer to this email.
    • Send the email to your own registered phone number associated with WhatsApp.
    • On your phone, open the email you just sent and download the attached document.
    • Once downloaded, open WhatsApp on your phone, select the chat or group where you want to send the document, and use the 'Document' option to share it directly from your phone.
  3. Using Cloud Storage Services:

    • Another method is to upload the document to a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox from your computer.
    • Once uploaded, get the shareable link of the document.
    • Open WhatsApp on your phone, select the chat or group where you want to send the document, and paste the shareable link into the message field.
    • Send the message, and the recipient can access the document through the provided link.

These methods ensure that you can seamlessly transfer documents from your computer to WhatsApp, enabling efficient communication and sharing of important files.
