If you use an Android Phone with version 4.0 and above, then it's most likely that your phone has the WiFi Direct functionality.

WiFi Direct can be used to carry out a lot of functions between two or more devices of which one of them is file transfer.
You can read more about WiFi Direct here:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Direct

To transfer files between two Android device using WiFi Direct, you need an app called Superbeam (there are others, but this is the most popular and probably the best). Superbeam has to be installed on both devices before you can successfully transfer files between them.

How To Transfer Files (and Folders with Pro Version)

1. Install Superbeam on both devices. (Get on Playstore)

2. Go to Settings> Wifi and switch on the Wifi. (On both devices)

3. Press the Menu softkey to bring out a list of options. (On both devices)

4. Select WiFi Direct. (On both devices)

5. Connect both devices.

6. Open the Superbeam app on both devices.

7. Select the send option on the device that is to send the files to open a file manager where you can select the files you wish to send.

8. It will bring out a barcode for you to scan using the receiving device. (There is the pin option, but barcode is faster)

9. Watch as your files get transferred at high speed.

Why Superbeam when there is Flash share?
Because Superbeam is faster and you can also send folders (Pro Version).
