Wi-Fi Direct/FTP is a wireless yet fast option to transfer files from android to pc, with a speed of 5-30 MB/s depending on Wi-Fi conditions, and it is best suited for medium-sized file transfers without the need for cables.

  1. Computer Settings: Go to “Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Nearby Share” and toggle the feature on.

  2. Mobile Settings: Go to “Settings > Google > Devices   sharing > Nearby Share” and toggle the feature on

  3. File Transfer: On your Android device, select the files to transfer, tap “Share,” choose “Nearby Share,” then select the target computer to complete the transfer.

While its speed may be affected by Wi-Fi conditions, it excels by eliminating cable constraints. This method enables file transfers between Android devices and computers without requiring a data cable, making it highly suitable for transferring medium-sized files.
