File
transfer is another task we do very frequently on our smartphone. We all
transfer several kinds of files to/from our smartphone. These may be image
files, video files, audio or any other document. While small files can be very
easily transferred using Bluetooth it’s not the case with big files.

app developers have created a number of file transfer apps.
