A method for transferring data from a data capturing device, the method comprising: establishing a first communication link between a first user communication device and the data capturing device, wherein the data capturing device is a wearable device; the data capturing device capturing the data intended to be communicated to the first user communication device; the data capturing device transmitting a notification to the first communication device that the data capturing device has captured data to transmit to the first user communication device, wherein the first user communication device identifies whether at least one condition exists at the first user communication device that indicates when the first user communication device should not accept a transfer of the data, wherein the at least one condition includes a battery charge level of the first user communication device that is below a threshold charge level and a remaining storage capacity of the first user communication device that is at or below a threshold storage capacity level; in response to the at least one condition failing to exist, receiving a response at the data capturing device to initiate the transfer of data from the data capturing device to the first user communication device over the communication link, and transferring data from the data capturing device to the first communication device; and in response to the at least one condition existing, receiving a response at the data capturing device that enables the data capturing device to (i) connect to and establish a data communication session with a remote storage, and (ii) transfer the captured data directly to the remote storage, and the data capturing device connecting to and establishing a data communication path with the remote storage, and transferring the captured data directly to the remote storage. establishing a first communication link between a first user communication device and the data capturing device, wherein the data capturing device is a wearable device; the data capturing device capturing the data intended to be communicated to the first user communication device; the data capturing device transmitting a notification to the first communication device that the data capturing device has captured data to transmit to the first user communication device, wherein the first user communication device identifies whether at least one condition exists at the first user communication device that indicates when the first user communication device should not accept a transfer of the data, wherein the at least one condition includes a battery charge level of the first user communication device that is below a threshold charge level and a remaining storage capacity of the first user communication device that is at or below a threshold storage capacity level; in response to the at least one condition failing to exist, receiving a response at the data capturing device to initiate the transfer of data from the data capturing device to the first user communication device over the communication link, and transferring data from the data capturing device to the first communication device; and in response to the at least one condition existing, receiving a response at the data capturing device that enables the data capturing device to (i) connect to and establish a data communication session with a remote storage, and (ii) transfer the captured data directly to the remote storage, and the data capturing device connecting to and establishing a data communication path with the remote storage, and transferring the captured data directly to the remote storage.
