The cross device file sharing alliance will make use of Wi-Fi with P2P technology and therefore, it offers a fast speed of 20MB/s for file sharing. If you are not familiar with the concept of P2P so, P2P is a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol that supports the transfer of files directly between the users instead of requesting and responding to a server, in P2P file-sharing technology files are transferred easily and directly between the users without interference of any third-party application.
This feature doesn’t interfere with the working of Wi-Fi anyway, it will just share the file with ultra-fast speed and in a very convenient way. With this file transferring protocol, we can share a wide range of file formats including, images, videos, audio documents, etc.
