With cloud storage and high-speed internet everywhere, offline file sharing might sound outdated. But as a developer, I’ve learned it still has a place in our workflows.
During hackathons, client site visits, or when working in areas with poor connectivity, being able to transfer files directly between devices — without relying on the internet — can save hours. Whether it’s large media assets, test builds, or entire project folders, a quick local transfer can be faster and more secure than uploading to the cloud.
I’m curious — do you still use offline file sharing in your work? If yes, what tools or methods do you rely on, and why?
