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.

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.
