Wi-Fi Direct – The Fastest Way to Exchange Files Between Android Devices
Wi-Fi Direct is an option that allows direct connection between two or more Android devices so that it is possible to exchange files, display content from one device to another, synchronize, play video games and more. Devices can connect using Wi-Fi Direct anywhere, anytime, without the need for Internet access. You don’t even need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi Direct devices broadcast a signal to other devices in the vicinity, letting them know that a connection can be established. Users can browse available devices and request a connection, or they can receive a connection invitation from another device. When you share files, it works similar to when you use Bluetooth, but the file transfer speed is much faster.
Watch our video tutorial where we show you how to exchange files between Android devices using Wi-Fi Direct.
