Abstract

Recently, Smartphone users have frequent need for share files and data such as (applications, audio, video, images even contacts) with other Smartphone users having same type of compatible device on the go, there are various free and paid file sharing applications available in the market for this very purpose, these file sharing applications mainly use WLAN (Wi-Fi Hotspot) for sharing files by creating an Ad-hoc wireless network and share files with other users within their vicinity. In this paper, comparative study and analysis of file sharing applications has been performed and presented. These file sharing applications enable the users for faster sharing rate among them through WLAN. They provide ease of access among multiple compatible devices. Several tests have been conducted including transferring several types of files and results have been gathered and these results are used in the analysis. A comparative analysis has also been done and the challenges or issues that are present in the concerned file sharing applications have been mentioned. The work primarily focuses on the commonly used file sharing applications in Smartphone’s worldwide namely SHAREit, Xender and Zapya.
