Wireless File Transfer from Laptop to Smartphone

How to Transfer Files Wirelessly Between Your Laptop and Smartphone

In today’s digital world, transferring files between devices is essential. While using a USB cable, SD card, or Bluetooth is common, they can be slow and inconvenient for large files. Fortunately, you can quickly transfer files from your laptop to your smartphone wirelessly using the InShare app. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to seamlessly share files using Wi-Fi or hotspot mode.

Tip: For transferring multiple small files like photos or documents, compress them into a single zip file. This reduces the transfer time and makes the process more efficient.
