How to Transfer Large Files Between Two Android Devices
We have many files on our phones ranging from images, videos, documents, and audio files. These files occupy the storage space in our phones in different capacities. Some files occupy very large portions of the storage space while others occupy insignificant storage space.
We may want to share these files with other phone users for various reasons. There are several ways to transfer files from one device to another. The commonly used way to transfer phone files is via Bluetooth; while other people prefer to use third-party file sharing apps.
