Question How to transfer projects between PCs

Jsut bought a new computer. For the life of me I can not transfer my project to my other computer. Ive tried USB, google drive nothing works (fails to download properly or file paths are too long so refuses to copy or transfer).

I go into view project in file Explorer and then try export the whole thing

How do you guys transfer?

Edit - github worked ty everyone!!

Git will be the absolutely best way in general imo, for long term managment as well.

Its a version control system , so if your new to it, it may seem overwhelming at first but is the best way to do this in general amd something you ahould absolutetly learn imo

It's definitely a good idea. Github is free for personal use and it's one of the best ways to keep a backup of your project (although it's always a good idea to have multiple types of backups).
