What's the fastest way to transfer files from PC to Android? I'd like to know which method of transfering offers the highest speeds. It happens once in a while that I lose my data while making ROM updates etc. as my phone is encrypted and that sometimes makes issues.

I'm using a OnePlus One with its fast charging cable. I wonder if I'm faster transfering files using adb push instead of using Windows Explorer. I reckon that I read that somewhere. Or are there WiFi apps that can transfer quicker?

Thanks!
The best answer is

It depends on the situation.

Let me explain: Some solution make work better than others for some files than others. For instance, use Bluetooth to send a picture, or Wi-Fi based FTP for small files. For larger files, you may want to use a cable and transfer them manually, or even load these files onto a high-speed SD card and plug that into your PC. It really depends on circumstance. For me, I send files by Wi-Fi to my laptop for anything smaller than 100mb, then cable it for bigger files.
