How to Transfer files from one Android Phone to another over Wifi

With Bluetooth people can exchange data of all kinds - contacts, images, ringtones, and what not. While small files can be very easily transferred using Bluetooth, it’s not the case with big filessince they take a huge amount of time.

To ease your functioning Android app developers have created a number of file transfer apps.

SuperBeam is an application that allows you to transfer one or several files onto another device at Wi-Fi data speeds. Pairing two devices can be done via NFC, which is really convenient, or by scanning a QR code. Then you just need to pick the stuff you need transferred.

SuperBeam : WiFi Direct Share

SuperBeam is developed by LiveQos and is available for Free in the app store and use on a device running Android 2.3 and above. SuperBeam is the easiest and fastest way to share large files between Android devices using WiFi direct.

SuperBeam has made file transfer very easy and convenient. No more manual approvals for connections. Using  WiFi direct it gives blazing fast transfer speed.

How to Use?

You'll need SuperBeam installed on both devices and then simply select the file you want to share with another device and select Share via SuperBeam. Devices can be paired using QR codes (with the included QR code scanner) , NFC or manual sharing key (Pro). After this simply transfer your selected files.

SuperBeam saves and remembers paired devices so you need to scan only once. Next time the device will appear in your saved connections. All your received files will be saved under “/sdcard/SuperBeam/” by default.

SuperBeam Switches to hotspot mode automatically for devices that doesn’t support WiFi direct. SuperBeam uses port 8080 for all types of transmissions and it comes in light and dark theme options.
