Question Google Quick Share

[astro0]

Trying to find the most optimal way of transferring large files between my android devices (in this case, Red Magic 8 Pro / 16GB running Android 14, to an AYN Odin 3 Max), over the same 5ghz network

The fastest speed I've seen the transfer reach is about 6MB/s (48mb/s). My home network is idle other than this transfer.

I feel like "Quick" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

I'm thinking of just using an FTP server instead.

I guess my question would be... is Quick Share known for being slow/Any way to speed up the transfer for large files?

Appreciate any tips or advice!

Have you tried any other methods of sharing? Assuming you are just selecting the share option and then picking QS from a list, in those same sharing options is an option to share via Bluetooth. Have you tried that one. While similar to QS I believe this is different.

I don't know that it would affect the speed of the share but QS has an option to share over the internet. It says it is for times when a direct connection cannot be made but I'm wondering if this setting would improve your speeds.

Alternatively, you could use a USB cable connected to both devices. Set the USB connection on the source device to Data Transfer and use the file manager of the destination device to locate and select files for transfer. Here is a video on that.

Maybe cabled will be faster.
Let us know what you find.

First question would be, is this a one time deal or frequent? Will these files be updated on on device and need to be transfered back?

From what I understand, basic FTP is unencrypted. Throwing that out there in case security is an issue.
