sideloading involves the transfer of data between two local devices, for example an e-book reader and a desktop computer. It is used in contrast to "uploading" and "downloading" which imply transferring files over a network link, for example WiFi or the data plan on your mobile phone. Use the sideloading tag to describe questions on data transfer between a computer and a mobile device.
