I’ve replaced my old laptop with a new one and I have over 350GB worth of data to move over, moving all of it to an external drive and then moving them to the new laptop doesn’t seem efficient and it seems like it’s gonna take forever

I know there are some special cables that can do that but I don’t wanna waste money on something that I’m only gonna use once every 5 years at most.

    Without buying any cables, go to toffeeshare.com, select what you need and check the “Share with nearby devices” box to transfer everything over the local network. Just put both PCs on the same wifi network.

      What is this magic? And why the hell isn’t direct file sharing built into every device?!
