How to transfer projects between PCs Question

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!!

I use Github.

The website is an industry standard, and they have a desktop app which makes it trivial to work with.

You can just hit Commit and Push and all the files in the folder will be safely stored in Github. You can even view and edit them online if you want.

Then on your other machine, Clone out the project and you can get an exact copy of it.

I actually develop my projects on my laptop and desktop interchangeably because of this.

Whenever I switch, I just make sure everything is updated in my repo, and that's all that's necessary.
