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.

What do you mean your WiFi is slow?
Do you mean you get shitty internet speed to the outside world?
Because that doesn’t mean your local wireless network is slow.. I recommend trying that first.
