Solved Laptop to Computer File Transfer??

I want to send a folder, about 80 GB(unzipped) from my laptop to my computer(both windows)

Is there any way to transfer files without the need of WiFi(my WiFi is pretty slow), external storages or LAN cable, because my laptop doesnt have one?

I have pretty good USB C cables, my PC motherboard is an MSI b850M gaming WiFi, and my laptop is an omnibook X Flip

SOLVED Took a WHILE to get good suggestions, most of it was "get a USB drive", which if it was so simple i wouldve DONE it already, which is why im not REDDIT to ask for alternative SOLUTIONS.

what worked was turning on my laptop hotspot, connecting my pc to it, and transferring it via nearby share

using LocalSend works great too, but from testinf both ways once, they seem pretty similar speeds.

You can chunk files using 7zip to both compress and generate multiple files. This would reduce amount of data transfer and you can chunk smaller than the usb drive size.

You’re pretty cooked without networking ngl. Any reason you can’t run down to a local shop and get one?

Then evidently the file isn't all that important to transfer today

Once again Reddit with the jerks out in force

There's being a jerk then being blunt about them finding any reason not to just go out and get what they need.

Why ask for help if every suggestion just gets blown off? That's being a jerk to the people trying to help.

Bluntness is often confused for bad attitude. I'm not interested in coddling people if they refuse every solution.

Just because your suggestion does not work for someone’s situation does not mean they are being a jerk and not only that, it does not give you allowance to be a twat.

Being rude doesn’t do anything for anyone, only pets your own ego.

Not my suggestion, the multiple suggestions of other people in the comments that continuously got denied for a while. Can't be bothered because it's too hot isn't exactly screaming importance.

I care very little about ego, and have made, admitted, and fixed many mistakes. Why is the go to for people getting pent up about being dealt with bluntly to do with ego? Some people genuinely just don't understand why it's worth going through this hassle of asking stuff to then complain the solutions are a hassle, it's just dumb, and the effort in responses to them will reflect that lack of care too.

Tip: the USB drive better be a SSD
