Could you describe the process or the app in more detail?

Well its simple, u choose the files to be shared , pair your device , and the files are sent within a blink , even big files , its just like swipe n share in some phones

Pair the device with Bluetooth of NFC?

niether Bluetooth nor NFC . This technology is different and is apparently for sharing files between two android phones . I think it requires some particular hardware

 

[Aalok05]

I binged it and I got to know that this tech was invented by Micromax and is called flash transfer apk

It would be awesome if flash transfer comes to wp somehow.. Cuz BT is too slow compared to this

Hmm, looks like just WiFi transfer, nothing special.

Before answering with clever opinions, read a little about it. Read also about wifi direct.

i read . But we still cant share the files in music + videos hub or picturess via wifi sharing Can we?

If you must use WiFi, why can't you send an email? The only advantage that Bluetooth and NFC have is that you do not avoid using internet, thud saving on data costs. But you are not using bt/nfc anyway, so you could just send an email over WiFi.

it works on wi fi

 

[Wadood Shaikh]

i think its really tedious in sharing files and videos through email and even then there is only a certain limit for the file size to be transfered, i think there is a need for apps like xender , flash transfer,zapya on windowsphone . Using windows phone you cant easily transfer videos and even though if send it through bluetooth by using the apps like folder(beta) its take a long while to transfer. zapya and flash transfer helps share large files as large as 500- 800mb within few 10- 15 mins.

This "technology" that you're talking about is actually wifi direct.

yes, its exactly wifi direct for those android phones with wifi but no stock wifi direct functionality. We download the flash transfer app - install it ( the receiving party should also have the same app and install) and open - rename your profile- create or search group- connect -select the file - press and hold or shake ,then boom there you go in a flash. So now is there any app similar to the flash transfer in windowsphone8 ? Eventhough entry level wp8 phones like lumia525 have wifi and hotspot but no wifi direct i think if there is an app like the one mentioned above we can share it fast via wifi.pliz reply asap
