Transfer Android Files with NFC

1. Check NFC Support
Before starting the task, you should make sure that both devices support NFC. To check NFC support, please follow steps as below:

Go to "Settings" on Android > Under "Wireless & Networks", tap "Share & connect". Operations vary with a different device. In some devices, you should be required to tap "More" so as to find the "NFC" option.

When you see the option "NFC", enable it so as to allow data exchange. Then redo the process on another Android device and check NFC support. If you don't see NFC, your Android phone probably isn't equipped with NFC hardware.

2. Transfer Files via Touch to Beam
Now, go to your Android phone and open content you want to share with a suitable app. For example, to open a web page of the FonePaw blog, you can open it in Chrome. Place the two devices back to back and move them until you hear the sound of detecting. Tap the content to beam the file. The web page will be open on the other device immediately.

Extra Tip: Transfer Android Large Files with NFC Manually
Or you can tap the Share button to transfer the files manually.

You should receive a pop-up note as below. Please choose to share via "Android Beam". Then hold devices together to complete data transfer.

With NFC technology, you can also transfer videos, photos, apps, contacts, and more. Just open the content and share it.
