Offline file transfer is not a new feature on Android smartphones. There are several apps available solely for this purpose for many years like Xender, ShareIt, ShareMe(formerly Mi Drop), and Google Files Go to name a few. With over 100 million installs on the Play Store, Opera Mini is one of the popular browsers available for Android. Hence, adding the offline file transfer functionality which Opera calls File sharing may come in handy among peers using the app.
To use offline file transfer on Opera Mini, the users have to navigate to File sharing under settings. Then, simply tap on Send or Receive based on their needs. Like any other offline file transfer apps, Opera Mini will generate a QR code on the sender’s device which needs to be scanned by the receiver device to establish a connection.
Though the file-sharing feature seems promising for Opera Mini, it will be not effective since not everyone uses Opera Mini these days. Almost all Android smartphones these days except China comes with Google Chrome out of the box. And above all, cheap phones now come with more storage and powerful internals than before. Users will most probably install dedicated fie transfer apps like Xender or ShareIt since it is used by the majority of people.
