Because Bluetooth is sooooo slow yawn

Edit: And I already tried OTG. Its slow as fuck because of the USB 2.0 bottleneck makes it take 3 hours whereas Quickshare would’ve taken like, idk maybe 15 minutes or less. Ironically wireless is faster, but I also need it to work for non-certified / custom roms.

        Is this really a showstopper? You could use a hotspot.

        Just dropping https://pairdrop.net/ here. Works on the same network or via the internet. There is an app, but it would also work in the browser on literally any device.

          So the way hotspots work, is if you want to transfer (without going through the internet) files between device A and device B, you need a device C to host the hotspot, then have A, B connect to it. If you use A to host the hotspot, then B connects to A’s hotspot, A still wouldn’t be “on the same local network” as B. Its weird.
