Wi-Fi Direct function
If you want to transfer files from one smartphone to another, you can use the built-in Wi-Fi Direct function. Let's see how, for example, two Android phones work. Open your smartphone settings. Go to the Wi-Fi (WLAN) section. You do not need to connect to the Internet. Go to the Wi-Fi Direct tab - you can hide it in the additional menu.
Then activate Wi-Fi Direct on both devices. Find the file you want to send in your phone's memory, click "Share" and choose the method for sending Wi-Fi Direct. Then you will see a message on the recipient's smartphone, you must agree to download the file.
Application SHAREit
To move the files, you must install SHAREit on both computers. For all platforms, the app is available for free. After installation, run the program. On the transmitter, click the Send button and select the file or application. On the receiver. In the center of the screen, the radar appears, which displays a custom icon for another device on the network. Click it to connect the connection and start transferring the file.
When you transfer data from phone memory to your computer, you must select the Connect to PC mode. Otherwise, there is no change. The search screen appears, which you need to select the icon for the receiving device.
Application of Filedrop
Filedrop works in a similar way. The application must be installed on all devices that will share file sharing. To start the connection, start the application. The interface is usually configured automatically, but sometimes you must enter a four-digit code. On the phone, you can see it by clicking the button in the upper right corner. On the computer - by right-clicking on the program window.
If you are transferring data from your phone, click the icon in the box shape. A simple file manager is opened where you can select the file to be sent. When you transfer data from a computer, you can simply drag and drop it into the program window. File transfer is also available through the Filedrop website. When you open it in your browser on your homepage, devices that have running apps connected to the same Wi-Fi network are displayed.
