Holy smokes, anyone with a OnePlus phone that has used the File Dash wireless transfer feature?

I have an OP5, but haven't tried this, is it only OP to OP?

@mdalex yeah so if you do a longpress on file manager, it will pop and and say send file/receive file. I guess other phones have a similar feature now too so it's not that special come to find out, but it transfers files via a wlan over the .11ac wifi module so it's super fast. And yes only op to op, but I'm sure there is apps that are universally available,maybe

I have... On OnePlus 3.
It works great, but will change ur wireless tethering username and password (it does for me)

And it works OP to anything which has a browser to connect to the OP

@Electrux thank you thats good to know, I use 30GB+ on my hotspot a month that would be annoying not knowing what was causing that hahah. I suppose Ive also never needed to do anything I can't with adb anyway 🤗🤔

@orangelightsabr Nice!!! 😎😎

@orangelightsabr do you have to be on the same wifi to use that feature? Or does it automatically connect for you when you want to transfer? Or is it like wifi direct?

@hookless123 no that's much easier to do lol. I think it's like wifi direct, it seems the sender's wifi module goes into transmit mode and the other connects to it like a hotspot, then the files are transferred quickly over the ac band like a boss lol

@orangelightsabr Oh I see, correct me if I'm wrong, so it like airdrop on Apple devices where it connects through an auto-pairing process via Bluetooth?

@hookless123 good question, not sure, if you look it up come back and let me know haha

@orangelightsabr Yup, AirDrop uses Bluetooth to initiate the connection and then files get transferred via wifi.

@hookless123 that's really neat! Bluetooth 5 is pretty awesome too, I've always been a Bluetooth hater, but after this version, I think I'm finally ready for wireless headphones lol

@orangelightsabr yup. I think once it drops, I'm going to transition to wireless. At the moment I think only Samsung phones have Bluetooth 5?

@hookless123 yeah, Samsung's nsa approved devices(lol), op5, and I think the new iphone... And the new headphones I backed on Kickstarter lol
