So it sounds like something like Airdrop is exactly what I had in mind. I would be interested to know if any third party apps would allow file transfer to be easy enough to be an alternative to these other alternatives (Dropbox, cable, email, etc) that would be comparable to Airdrop even if a little less convenient. I have only used WiFi direct for printing or setting up devices. I only realized as a result of this post that there were third party apps that can allow WiFi direct to be used for file transfer. It is incredibly convenient and the primary feature that I knew I would miss when I decided to get a Microsoft Surface Laptop. Within the Apple Ecosystem, Airdrop does exactly what the OP wants to do. In the meantime, it can be done through third party software. Going further the Android OS and the Android phone are likely made by different companies as well as the laptop being made by a different company than Windows.Īndroid will soon have a similar feature called Nearby Sharing. It is not comparing Apples to Apples Windows and Android are not made by the same company. I know is sounds a bit pathetic, but after using AirDrop, having to go through DropBox, email or using a physical connection is annoying. Since an Android phone is one of the devices, I would assume not hard wired and I would not want to use up cellular data for large file transfer. ![]() Therefore I expected that they did have internet but were hard wired only. I understand your point but the OP simply said they didn’t have WiFi rather than internet access. Therefore, all these cloud based and email based solutions would be poor choices. But the premise of the question is large files and no external WiFi network. ![]()
