Here's an easier way to share files

Network sharing can be a little tricky to setup, but there’s an easier option that doesn’t involve a thumb drive either. Considering I’m going to be doing this a lot, I want it to be push a button easy. Windows has a send to near by machines. You enable it, and then you can click a button to send it to the other machine.

Set up.

Select Start , and then select Settings > System > Nearby sharing , and turn it on both machines.

Share

On first machine, navigate to the .zip file and select Share from the toolbar at the top. Then select your other machine.

On the second machine accept the Share, navigate to your downloads folder, and unzip.
