Have you ever felt the need for third party apps to transfer/share the files from your mobile wirelessly via Wifi network (WLAN) to other devices of yours??

Then, here is an awesome feature available in our Flyme to accomplish your need to share the files/folders in your local wifi network.

Steps to be followed :

  • Connect the devices to same wifi network.
  • Open the File Explorer app in your mobile with Flyme 5 (or Document app in Flyme 4.x).
  • Select the Folder(s) which you want to share. (Refer Pic 1)
  • Click on More option and select Share to Nearby Devices. (Refer Pic 1)
  • Give any username to the shared drive (+ password is optional) and select OK. (Refer Pic 2)


BOOM.. Now your folders are shared, you can see that in notification icon & notification bar. (Pics 3 & 4)

Now, as you have shared your content in mobile. Here are the steps to access them in your Laptop / other mobile devices.
