     Just for the record, 'local' [1] transfers both Android <--> Android   
   and Android <--> Windows are trivial, but for some strange reason some   
   people use the most awkward methods/tools and get into all kinds of   
   inexplicable problems. For other (most?) people, it's not an issue at   
   all and it Just Works (TM).   
      
     Yes, I realize that you said 'smartphone' - not 'Android' - and didn't   
   mention the other end - which also could be macOS, Chrome OS, Linux,   
   etc. -, so I limit my comment to the platforms I mentioned.
