I have two laptops. One has internet access while the other does not. Both laptops are in a remote location (one in the office and the other in the home). I have to download some files on a daily basis (3~7 files having 500MB~2000MB file size) for my office project and need these files in the home as well. Scenario I do not want to re-download these files in the home, so I use the following procedure: 1) Download file in Office Laptop 2) Copy in (Android) mobile (via SHAREit App) 3) Paste in the home Laptop (via SHAREit App) 4) Delete from Mobile 5) Delete from Office Laptop **Is it possible to do all these steps automatically?** This means, at the end of the day (before leaving my office) I just run a script that copy (latest) files on my mobile and delete these files from the office PC; when I reached home (from mobile) I run another script, which copies these (latest) files in my home PC and delete from mobile.

Does ShareIt use the content we share?
In the TOS it seems they say that we give right to use our content. [![From SHAREit TOS][1]][1] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/pnBhq.jpg

I have a video file on my Android device (One Plus 7 Pro). I use the app AirDroid to download this file to my desktop computer through a web browser or application on the computer. This all happens locally, I can cut the internet connection in the middle of the transfer and it will not impede the transfer. I find that this transfer is slower than I would expect. The fastest speed I have been able to achieve is 6 megabytes per second, which I only achieve when I host a hotspot with my phone, and connect the desktop to that. If I connect both the phone and the desktop to a WiFi router, I only get roughly half that speed. Both these devices are capable of both uploading and downloading data much faster than this. If I connect them to a sufficiently fast internet connection through WiFi, they can upload and download files from and to the Internet at multiple times the speeds mentioned above. If their hardware are capable of that when transmitting to/from the Internet, why can they not do the same thing locally? I would assume that having removed the bottleneck of the Internet connection, the speed would be much faster. I have noticed that this speed limitation also occurred with other apps that did similar things, such as ShareIt. I have also noticed it a multitude of Android devices from various brands, and various computers.

How are "ShareIt","Xender" etc able to install APK without requiring "unknown source" permission?
Normally, if I have to install an apk(say from SD card), I need to enable “Unknown Sources” in my phone's settings. But when I transfer and install any APK from another phone using "ShareIt", no such permission is required by my phone. How is ShareIt able to bypass this permission?

Even after enabling mobile data, the WiFi spot is not created if mobile data is not connected. - Is it a firmware problem, that the phone can't enable WiFi spot without mobile data active? - Is there any fix or a workaround to make it works?

APK file keeps getting deleted after receiving via SHAREit
My APK files are getting deleted automatically from `QieZi` folder after receiving them via SHAREit app and this is happening when I don't install them instantly. Why this is happening? Is it Clean Master that deletes all the apps while cleaning the junks or something else?

I transferred an mp3 file from my PC using SHAREit app to my Android phone. It stored the received file it's own directory (SD1\Android\data\com.google...\files\SHAREit\audio\ on SD card. However I copied that file to another but already existing directory on SD card. Later I removed the file from the SHAREit path. Now I can play this mp3 by directly going to the current directory and tapping on the file name. But this mp3 can not be seen or played by "Play Music" app. Can you help me? Thanking you Shashidhar
