Transferring files Between Two Devices without Internet

trasnfer files without internet

Though there are many ways to transfer files between two devices but an internet connection is required for most of them. For example, via Bluetooth wireless pairing it is quite easy to transfer files from your smart phone to your PC (or laptop) and vice versa. But you need to be connected with internet in your phone as well as your PC (or laptop) in order to do that. In other words, if there is no internet connection in both the phone and the PC, than it will not be possible to transfer files between the two devices. But now it is possible to do that by the use of an app called SHAREit.

SHAREit is an application that can be installed and used in different devices which are using different operating systems like iOS, android and even Windows. Since SHAREit is also compatible with windows 7 and 8, it can also be used in your PCs which are using windows 7 or 8 as their operating systems. This makes it possible to transfer files between not only your PC to phone, but also PC to PC and phone to phone, and it doesn't matter whether your phone is iOS or android. I mean to say, you can even transfer files between two phones with different operating systems in them, which was not possible earlier through any other such app. It also doesn't matter even if the two devices, requiring file transfer with each other, are of different brands.

Suppose, you and your friend are on the way and you want to urgently transfer a file to your friend's phone, but suddenly you realize there is no mobile data (provided by your cell phone carrier) left to establish the internet connection in your phone. This is where SHAREit app could be useful as you don't really need an internet connection to transfer files through this app. SHAREit actually utilizes a wi-fi technology called SoftAP that helps to create a personal network, through inbuilt Wi-Fi radio in every mobile device, to which other devices can attach and send (or receive) files. But you need an internet connection for the first time while installing SHAREit on both devices which need file transferring among each other. Later a QR code in the app helps to establish the connection between the two devices for the transfer of files. You can go through further information about How to install SHAREit in order to know how to use and install it for free for your own Smartphone or PC and even tablets.

The developer company of this app also claims that the speed of transfer is at-least 200 times faster than the internet based Bluetooth wireless transfer. In the latest version of this app, developers have also made it possible to simultaneously send and receive files (in one go) which was not possible in earlier versions. In earlier version of this app there was also one another problem. You needed to close the Wi-Fi internet connection in order to transfer files, but now in the latest version this problem has also been resolved by the developer company, and the transfer can still work even if Wi-Fi is in the ON mode. This will help to do other work that requires internet while the files are being transferred.
There is also no any restriction for the file size but it may take longer time for the transfer if the file size is quite large.

There are also many cloud based services to transfer files, most popular being Dropbox and Google drive. But in these services files are being stored on the servers before being transferred, while it is not the case when using the SHAREit app. You don't really need to store your files anywhere and files are only being transferred using SHAREit app. Also cloud based file transfer services like dropbox and Google drive require an internet connection. In a way your data is still in the control of the company offering cloud services, as the servers are owned by those companies, while this is not the case with SHAREit. Best of all, any type of data whether its video file, music file, photos, documents in different formats, etc can be transferred via SHAREit app. This is really something to go for immediately.
