With Windows 11, you can quickly share data between computers on the same network quite easily

Simplify quickly sharing data between computers on the same network in Windows 11.

If you've ever used iOS devices, you probably know AirDrop. This is a method of transferring content (pictures, music, videos) from Apple's iOS devices to each other. The way Airdrop works is similar to how you "shoot" data with Bluetooth on old phones. Google also has a similar feature and is under development.
