How to Share Files Wirelessly Between PC and Android Device
To transfer files in between PC and mobile we generally use USB cable which is reliable and easy. USB 3.0 is faster than 2.0, but today most of the mobile phones are still using USB 2.0 technology for data transfer. At the time of wired data transfer, often it creates many problems such as the phone being not recognizable by the computer or in the worst case, the USB cable being damaged. The maximum speed by using USB 2.0 cable is in between 10 to 15 Mbps, so it is not enough for today’s generation.
You can transfer files from PC to Android using ES file explorer, but it require some basic skills which are not easy for a beginner. But, by using Shareit you can easily share files wirelessly between PC and Android device.
The first time I came to know about this amazing application when I bought a Lenovo tablet. You will get it by default on Lenovo devices because it is its product.

I have been using it on my Windows 10 PC and Android 5.1.1 device and it is working very smoothly. Let’s follow the procedure.
1) Open the Shareit app on your PC and click on Receive, if you want to receive a file or you can choose Send to share files.

3) Open the Shareit app on your Android device and tap on Send button. Then select the files which you want to transfer to your computer.
4) Finally, tap on Next button to send the files.
5) On the next screen, the app will search for your computer. Tap on your computer’s icon to send the selected files to your PC.
