We shoot the movie of our holidays with the smartphone and now all relatives or friends want to see it on their smartphone, without having to wait to upload it to YouTube or other platforms. How to switch files that exceed 300 MB between smartphones?
We can use Bluetooth but it is really too slow for this operation. Luckily there are now so many applications that allow you to send large files con Android e iPhone.
In this guide we will show you the best ones.
Send large files
WeTransfer (Android/iPhone)
As simple as its name: we install the app, select the file, enter the email addresses of whoever we want to receive it and… let's upload it to the server!

Recipients will receive the file download link via email. A fast and efficient service, which does not require registration but which requires files to be uploaded to an external server. If this approach to privacy doesn't scare you, then use it without hesitation.

Android Beam (Android)
Can we transfer files without installing anything? Enough take advantage of Android Beam, the service associated with NFC which allows you to exchange files between two devices simply by putting them in close contact (less than 1cm away from each other, even better by bringing the back of both together).
To activate Andrid Beam just activate the homonymous item, usually available together with NFC in the Connections menu (or similar, depending on the system or smartphone in use).
