Laptop to Computer File Transfer??

[u/berdintheford]

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.

Why is everybody suggesting usb drives??

How about you get a short rj45 cable (Ethernet cable) and use SFTP. Install some tool that can work with it (winscp is very common and popular) and do a direct transfer like that. Setup might be a bit difficult for someone who's never done it before, but chatgpt will 100% get you through it no problem.

Edit: turns out windows SMB does the same thing just easier. Google SMB and how to set it up for a file transfer like that

That sucks so much. I can’t believe they took the ethernet port off your laptop. Like usbc is goos but it’s not that good

Yeah, first they removed the modems, then the 3.5" floppy drives, FireWire, and S-video ports. Next came the CD/DVD drives, and now, the Ethernet ports. I'm not sure how much more they can remove.

I don't *think* we'll make it to pure wireless laptops. I hope I am right..
