You want to transfer file between your devices and view them immediately, but:
- Cable transfer: Fast, but the process of navigating and selecting photos on the laptop is unintuitive.
- Third-party OTT apps: Inconvenient for sending many files, and photos may lose quality due to compression.
- Cloud storage: Convenient and maintains photo quality, but requires the annoying extra step of deleting files afterward.
Then, P2Lan Transfer may be a solution that suits you.
P2Lan Transfer helps you share files and chat with devices on the same local network without requiring any central server or complex setup.
