How would you send a file using Android (without access to an already existing network)? I asked someone with an Android phone the other day and apparently it's not practical.
WiFi direct - so long as the connecting devices support it and there's no requirement to be connected to the same WiFi network. Works a treat transferring from Android to Android or Windows 10 and it isn't proprietary.
The fact that someone would have to Google how to do this is what Windows is lacking.
I built a hackintosh and bought an iPhone after I got tired of those disparities and disconnections. Why can’t Windows just work with Android already?
For Windows 10 yes, but for Android it's in the share context menu, so easy to use in fact that my mum and dad have been using it for years to send each other videos and pictures of trips and outings at blazing fast speeds, for them it's just magic as it works and they don't need to understand what's happening under the hood or fulfil any technical prereqs.
When sending, it should appear under the share menu when you share something and to receive you just need to go on WiFi direct which can be opened under the WiFi screen.
