How to Transfer Files between Two Windows 11 PCs with Bluetooth?

Although you can transfer your files using a USB flash drive or an external hard disk drive, it is time-consuming. It may also happen you don’t have an external drive that you can use to transfer the files between computers. In such a case, you can use Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth is one of the best and most convenient ways to connect to nearby devices for sharing files wirelessly. You can use this function if you don’t have any other media to transfer the files between PCs. There is no need for an Ethernet cable, Wi-Fi, USB, HDD, etc., to transfer the files between Windows 11 computers.

Bluetooth is ancient technology, and it is a built-in feature in most Windows notebooks and computers.
