• A file transfer window will open, displaying two panels: one for your device’s files and another for the remote device’s files.

Step 5: Select and Transfer Files

• To send files: Navigate through the panel showcasing your device’s files, select the desired file or folder, and drag it to the panel of the remote device or click the “Send” button.
• To receive files: Similarly, choose the file from the remote device’s panel and use the “Receive” button, or drag it to your device.

Step 6: Monitor the Transfer Progress

• You will be able to monitor the file transfer progress in real-time. Note that the transfer duration may vary based on file size and connection speed.

Step 7: Finalize the Transfer
